MINIMIZING DRIVE TEST LOGGED DATA REPORTING
First Claim
1. Method in a network node for network based control of report messages in a wireless communications network, the network node being configured to serve a user equipment, UE, and to receive report messages from the UE, the method comprising:
- sending a request to the UE to start transmitting logged measurements in a report message;
receiving the report message comprising logged measurements;
determining if the received report message comprises an indicator of additional logged measurements not yet transmitted; and
if so,deciding if the additional logged measurements are to be requested.

Abstract
This disclosure pertains to a method in a network node, a method in user equipment, a network node and user equipment in a wireless communications network. More particularly, there is provided methods and platforms for network based control of report messages comprising logged measurements in a wireless communications network. In accordance with some example embodiments, a UE (30) that has stored logged data i.e. logged measurements that are bigger than a single transmission packet, i.e. report message, segments the logged measurements and sends only a portion of the logged measurements that fits into a single report message. The UE (30) also indicates to a network node (28) that additional logged measurements exist at the UE buffer (44).

22. Method in a User Equipment, UE, for assisting in network based control of report messages in a wireless communications network, the UE being in connection with a serving network node and configured to transmit report messages to the network node upon request, and wherein the UE is configured to periodically perform radio condition measurements and store the periodically performed measurements in a UE buffer as logged measurements, the method comprising:
-
receiving a request from the network node to start transmitting logged measurements in a report message; determining if the logged measurements fit in the report message; and
if not,including in the report message an indicator of additional logged measurements not yet transmitted; and
,transmitting the report message, comprising the indicator, to the network node as a response to the request. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
