METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTIVE RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNAL METRIC COLLECTION VIA LOCATION

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for selective frequency signal metric collection via location is provided. A radio frequency (RF) analysis system may periodically send to a mobile device an indication of at least one geographic area of interest, the at least one geographic area of interest is based on an RF coverage heatmap. RF signal measurement may be received form the mobile device, wherein the mobile device takes RF signal measurements at a first rate when outside the at least one geographic area of interest and at a second rate when within the at least one geographic area of interest. The RF coverage heatmap may be updated based on the received RF signal measurements. The at least one geographic area of interest may be updated based on the updated RF coverage heatmap.
