Abstract

Enhanced network operation is described in which UE context awareness reports requested in network management. A set of conditions is provided to the UE by a serving base station that triggers the UE to transmit a status report to the serving base station. The set of conditions includes at least one non-cellular UE condition. The UE monitors for the conditions and then, when detected, obtains reporting information for the status report that includes one or both of non-cellular and cellular UE information. The UE transmits the status report with the reporting information to the serving base station which uses the information to make determinations regarding network operations management. The serving base station may manage such network operations by sending updated or modified configuration data to the UE or by sending instructions to other network entities to prepare resources for predicted future UE communications.
