MINIMIZATION DRIVE TEST WITH REDUCED WIRELESS DEVICE MEMORY USAGE
First Claim
1. A mobile wireless communication device comprising:
- a memory;
a receiver configured to receive a control signal and measurement signals, the control signal comprising a minimization drive test (MDT) configuration parameter indicating at least a measurement interval;
a controller configured to;
execute a minimization drive test (MDT) comprising measuring a signal characteristic of the measurement signals in accordance with the MDT configuration parameter to generate a measurement number of measurements for a measurement period; and
store, in the memory, a log number of log values corresponding to at least some of the measurements, the log number being less than the measurement number.

Abstract
A mobile wireless communication device efficiently uses memory when performing a minimization drive test (MDT) by storing less than all of the MDT measurements. The mobile wireless communication device receives a control signal comprising MDT configuration parameters indicating at least a measurement interval. When executing the MDT, the mobile wireless communication device measures a signal characteristic of measurement signals in accordance with the MDT configuration parameters to generate a number of measurements for a measurement period. Rather than storing all of the measurements, only a number of log values corresponding to the measurements are stored in memory, where the number of log values is less than the number of measurement values.
