Abstract:
Apparatus and method for coverage hole detection in a wireless local area network (WLAN) using a mobile communication device. The method includes a first step of providing a plurality of access points distributed within the WLAN and at least one mobile communication device operable within the WLAN. A next step includes downloading triggers for respective coverage measurement conditions to the at least one associated mobile communication device from an associated access point. A next step includes detecting a coverage measurement condition by the at least one mobile communication device that activates one of the triggers, whereupon a next step includes sending a coverage measurement indicating the triggered condition from the at least one mobile communication device to an associated access point, which forwards a coverage incident report to a Central Report Manager.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one mobile communication device includes an information element in a management frame indicating support for IEEE 802.11k protocols, and wherein the at least one mobile communication device and the at least one of the plurality of access points advertise their support for coverage hole detection, wherein the triggers take the form of an IEEE 802.11k measurement request, and wherein the report takes the form of an IEEE 802.11k measurement report.
