Patent ID: 7840382

Claim:
A method for providing a network re-creation log on a wireless mobile device connected to a wireless network, the method comprising: determining a logging window on the wireless mobile device; the wireless mobile device logging various network re-creation parameters during the logging window to produce a network re-creation log; and storing the network re-creation log on a memory device of the wireless mobile device, wherein said logging comprises logging the various network re-creation parameters during operation on a communication network, and wherein said logging the various network re-creation parameters comprises logging at least: re-creation log header parameters comprising information that identifies the network re-creation log, the wireless portable device, and log window; transmission environment parameters comprising Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) dynamic parameters comprising readings of the received signal strength for the frequency in which the wireless portable device is operating during the log window; distribution system parameters comprising pre-Reed Solomon and post-Reed Solomon statistical parameters or obtaining an erasure rate or error rate as detected by the wireless portable device during the log window; signaling parameters comprising logical channel (LC) parameters describing logical channels that are decoded during the log window, code block dynamic parameters for obtaining a number of code blocks that are not decoded correctly, concurrency operation information parameters that describe if any network concurrency issues occurred during the log window, and Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) records mapping table parameters with mapping information between media flow identifiers, logical channel identifiers, and a transmit mode of a logical channel, outer code parameters, and whether or not a logical channel includes both streams; media decoding parameters comprising dropped frame count parameters and video decoding/rendering parameters for obtaining a number of times video frames have decoded successfully and number of times video frames have been rendered; and hardware and software exception parameters for obtaining a number of times the wireless portable device had undergone exceptions during the log window.
