METHODS AND APPARATUS TO IDENTIFY WIRELESS CARRIER PERFORMANCE EFFECTS
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method to score a wireless carrier, comprising:
- receiving an indication of media content presentation on a wireless communication device;
monitoring a wireless carrier operating parameter in response to receiving the indication of media content presentation;
monitoring the wireless communication device for a media content presentation command;
associating the media content presentation command and the wireless carrier operating parameter with a scoring factor indicative of subscriber preferences; and
generating a report including the scoring factor.

Abstract
Example methods and apparatus to identify wireless carrier performance effects are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes receiving an indication of media content presentation on a wireless communication device, monitoring a wireless carrier operating parameter in response to receiving the indication of media content presentation, and monitoring the wireless communication device for a media content presentation command. The example method also includes associating the media content presentation command and the wireless carrier operating parameter with a scoring factor indicative of subscriber preferences, and generating a report including the scoring factor.

16. A computer implemented method to score a wireless carrier, comprising:
-
receiving an indication of media content presentation on a wireless communication device; monitoring the wireless carrier associated with the indication of media content presentation for carrier operating parameters; receiving a media content control command associated with the indication of media content presentation; generating a wireless carrier score based on the control command and the carrier operating parameters; and outputting the wireless carrier score to a user. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer implemented method to identify an advertisement impression, comprising:
-
receiving an indication of an advertisement presentation attempt; measuring a plurality of wireless carrier operating parameter values during the advertisement presentation attempt; detecting a subscriber presentation command during the advertisement presentation attempt; identifying the advertisement presentation attempt as a failed advertisement impression when the subscriber presentation command is indicative of a presentation interruption command and the wireless carrier operating parameter values are below a quality threshold value; and generating a report including the advertisement impression.
