Samsung patents method for phones to log network experience for carriers
Samsung describes a process where a phone tells a cell tower what it can measure, then records how well the connection works based on those instructions. When the network asks, the phone sends this recorded data back to help the carrier understand performance.
In the filing’s own words
The present disclosure relates to a method and device that allow a user equipment (UE) to manage quality of experience (QoE) in a wireless communication system, and an operation method of the UE managing QoE in the wireless communication system may include establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a base station, transmitting UE capability information to the base station, receiving, from the base station, logged QoE measurement configuration information generated based on the UE capability information, logging QoE measurement results based on the received logged QoE measurement configuration information, reporting availability of logged QoE data to the base station, receiving a QoE data retrieval request from the base station, and transmitting logged QoE measurement result data to the base station.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method, performed by a user equipment (UE), of managing quality of experience (QoE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a base station; transmitting UE capability information related to logged QoE measurement to the base station; receiving, from the base station, logged QoE measurement configuration information; logging QoE measurement results, based on the received logged QoE measurement configuration information; receiving a QoE data retrieval request from the base station; and transmitting logged QoE measurement result data to the base station in response to receiving the QoE data retrieval request, wherein the method further comprises: camping on a new base station, receiving new logged QoE measurement configuration information from the new base station, and determining whether to perform logging or reporting based on the logged QoE measurement configuration information and the new logged QoE measurement configuration information.
