GEOGRAPHIC-BASED MEASUREMENT AND LOGGING OF RADIO COVERAGE RELATED INFORMATION BY MOBILE DEVICES

Abstract

Providing for automated wireless network signal analysis by mobile devices as a function of their geographic locations is described herein. By way of example, a wireless network can transmit a set of geographic data defining a geographic region to a mobile device. The mobile device can compare its current location to the geographic region, and begin measuring downlink signals, or recording such measurements when within the geographic region, and terminate the recording when the mobile device leaves the geographic region. Recorded measurements can be subsequently uploaded to the wireless network for analysis. In some aspects, the mobile device can refrain from uploading the measurements until within a defined reporting region.; By providing mobile device network analysis triggered on device geographic location, analysis data that is well tailored to a particular problem area can be obtained, increasing quality of the analysis data and significantly reducing cost of acquiring such data.
