Abstract:
1. A wireless device, comprising: a communication hardware module operable to receive an access data collection configuration identifying test data and at least one of a plurality of network access data to collect; a simulator module operable to execute the test data to simulate an access scenario to generate the at least one of the plurality of network access data; and a network access performance module operable to collect the at least one of the plurality of network access data based on the access data collection configuration, wherein the at least one of the plurality of network access data corresponds to a network access characteristic of the wireless device during the access scenario; wherein the plurality of network access data comprises at least one of a network access related event, a protocol-related access message, an access channel message, a Radio Resource Control message, a non-access station message, a number of access probe sequences, an acknowledgement timeout from an access channel message, a randomization for access channel probe time, access channel message capsule information, a power level change for an access probe attempt, position/location information, diagnostic information, a state of a device component during a network access attempt by the wireless device, or a statistic or state associated with non-access-related processing occurring on the wireless device during the network access attempt.
