Enhanced Signal and Network Parameter Measurement Reporting to Support Wireless Coverage Capacity Mapping

摘要

The present invention provides a mechanism by which a mobile cellular device operating in a 46 LTE or 5G NR network measures the following cellular network signals and broadcast System Information Broadcast (SIB) messages, extracts the following parameters from those signals and measurements, stores the measured signal parameters and information elements of received messages in memory, and transfers the parameters and message information elements to a remote server for use in constructing a cellular network coverage and capacity map. Serving Cell Connected Mode (LTE, 56-NR) - RSRP, RSRQ Serving Cell Idle Mode (LTE, 5G-NR) - RSRP, RSRQ Intra-frequency Neighbor Cell Idle Mode (LTE, 56-NR) - RSRP, RSRQ Intra-frequency Neighbor Cell Connected Mode (LTE, 5G-NR) - RSRP, RSRQ Inter-frequency Neighbor Cell Idle Mode (LTE, 56-NR) - RSRP, RSRQ Inter-frequency Neighbor Cell Connected Mode (LTE, 56-NR) - RSRP, RSRQ Aggregated Secondary Cell Connected Mode (LTE, 5G-NR) - RSRP, RSRQ LTE SIB3 Idle Mode (LTE) - cellReselectionPriority LTE SIB5 Idle Mode (LTE) - dl-CarrierFreq, allowedMeasuredBandwidth, cellReselectionPriority LTE SIB6 Idle Mode (LTE) -- CarrierFreq, cellReselectionPriority 5G-NR SIB2 Idle Mode (5G-NR) -- cellReselectionPriority 5G-NR SIB4 Idle Mode (5G-NR) dl-CarrierFreq, allowedMeasuredBandwidth, cellReselectionPriority 5G-NR SIB5 Idle Mode (56-NR)- carrierFreq, allowedMeasuredBandwidth, cellReselectionPriority Additionally, the signal RSPR, RSRQ, physical cell identity (PCI), channel number (EARFCN, NRARFCN) and mobile device's latitude and longitude of the measurement are recorded and stored for each measurement event.
