1. A method of monitoring performance of a wireless device on a wireless network, comprising:
- obtaining on a wireless device a monitoring configuration comprising a performance parameter and a threshold setting, the performance parameter associated with a performance statistic to be monitored, the threshold setting comprises a limit corresponding to the performance statistic;
determining the performance statistic for the wireless device based upon the monitored performance parameter;
comparing the determined performance statistic to the corresponding threshold setting; and
generating a notification if the determined performance statistic meets the threshold setting.

Abstract
Apparatus and methods may include a performance module operable to monitor and generate performance statistics on a wireless device based on a received monitoring configuration. In some aspects, the wireless device may forward the performance statistics to another device upon meeting predetermined threshold parameters. The performance statistics may be utilized to generate a performance report viewable by an authorized user.
