Methods and systems to meter media content presented on a wireless communication device

An apparatus to process metering information, the apparatus comprising:

• a memory to:
• store a first data structure including reference metering information generated by a first wireless communication device and indicative of a plurality of media received at the first wireless communication device from a transmitting entity;
• and
• store a second data structure including panel metering information generated by a second wireless communication device and indicative of at least some of the media received by the second wireless communication device;
• and
• a validator to determine the validity of the panel metering information based on the reference metering information.

An apparatus to generate media metering information associated with a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising:

• an interface to obtain first information indicative of media presented via a wireless communication device;
• a validator to generate second information indicative of a technical issue corresponding to the operability of the wireless communication device that affects user-consumption of the media during a presentation of the media;
• and
• a memory to:
• store the first information in association with the second information;
• and
• store timestamp information in association with the first information and the second information, the timestamp information to include a first timestamp stored in association with the first information and a second timestamp stored in association with the second information, and a substantial match between the first and second timestamps to indicate that the technical issue occurred during a presentation of the media.
