Claim:
1. A method for subscribing to a radio link failure (RLF) report, comprising: requesting, through a northbound interface and by an integration reference point manager (IRPManager), an integration reference point agent (IRPAgent) to generate a signaling trace job according to an active signaling trace job operation, wherein a job type of the signaling trace job is radio link failure (RLF) reporting only, and wherein an input parameter of the activate signaling trace job operation is a value of an attribute corresponding to a subscription condition of the RLF report; and receiving, by a receiver of the IRPManager, the RLF report that is sent by the IRPAgent and that satisfies the subscription condition; wherein a mechanism of receiving, by the IRPManager, the RLF report that is sent by the IRPAgent and satisfies the subscription condition comprises a trace result reporting mechanism of a signaling trace job or a trace result reporting mechanism of a minimized drive test (MDT) job; wherein the subscription condition comprises area scope; and wherein the value of the attribute comprises at least one of the following: an identifier of one or more cells, a tracking area identifier, a routing area identifier, and a location area identifier.
