Patent ID: 8238271

Claim:
A radio measurement procedure for measuring station statistics in a wireless communication network, the radio measurement procedure comprising: transmitting, to a requested station, a request message for triggered Robust Security Network Association (RSNA) station statistics measurements, the request message including a group identity field that indicates a requested RSNA counters statistics group and a triggered reporting field for RSNA counters that is used to specify trigger conditions and RSNA statistics thresholds; and wherein the triggered reporting field comprises: an RSNA trigger condition subfield for specifying reporting triggers, the RSNA trigger condition subfield comprising one or more bit-fields for each one of the reporting triggers; and one or more RSNA statistics threshold subfields for specifying values representing a number of data units used as RSNA statistics threshold values for each one of the reporting triggers, wherein the one or more RSNA statistics threshold subfields comprise at least an RSNA statistics Cipher Based Message Authentication Code Integrity Check Value (CMACICV) errors threshold subfield, an RSNA statistics Cipher Based Message Authentication Code (CMAC) replays threshold subfield, an RSNA statistics robust management Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP) replays threshold subfield, an RSNA statistics Temporal Key Integrity Protocol Integrity Check Value (TKIPICV) errors threshold subfield, an RSNA statistics Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) replays threshold subfield, an RSNA statistics CCMP decrypt errors threshold subfield, or an RSNA statistics CCMP replays threshold subfield, and wherein each of the RSNA statistics threshold subfields is present when a particular bit-field for each one of the reporting triggers in the RSNA trigger condition subfield is set to 1; and receiving, from the requested station, an RSNA statistics measurements report message including measured RSNA statistics when at least one of the trigger conditions occurs.
