Abstract:
1. An end user terminal apparatus for detecting network impairments and outages which comprises: a first circuit for connection to a wireless baseband processor; a second circuit for subscription to streams of indicia concerning selected communications network parameters emitted from said wireless baseband processor; a third circuit for determination that and when a condition of interest has occurred triggered by a combination of values, codes, changes, rates of change, or events which impair LTE network operations; a fourth circuit for recordation of a plurality of indicia wherein said fourth circuit for recordation comprises a processor adapted by a rule-based data collection profile to store piecewise structured logs of a time-based record of conditions occurring among multiple layers of the network including the physical layer, the transport layer and the application layer, and measurement values into a store when said condition of interest has occurred; and a fifth circuit for forwarding a set of indicia to a server, the circuits mutually coupled communicatively.
