    receive a broadcast message that includes a reporting parameter from a network control device;

    upon occurrence of a trigger event at the mobile device, check a value of the reporting parameter;

    when the reporting parameter has a first value, then process the trigger event; and

    when the reporting parameter has a value other than the first value, then in addition to processing the trigger event;

    prior to generating a random number, check a battery level and a charging status of the mobile device,responsive to determining that either the battery level exceeds a power threshold or the charging status indicates that the mobile device is charging, generate the random number,compare the random number and the reporting parameter value,when the comparison indicates that a relationship between the random number and the reporting parameter value satisfies a predetermined criterion, then generate a message that includes information related to an operation of the mobile device, andtransmit the message to the network control device.
