Abstract

A communications network may include user equipment that communicates with external equipment. The user equipment may include an antenna, measurement circuitry, control circuitry, and a display. The antenna may receive downlink signals while the user equipment moves through a geographic area. The measurement circuitry may gather wireless performance metric data from the received signals. The control circuitry may determine whether the gathered wireless performance metric data exceeds, for a predetermined time period, a threshold value. The control circuitry may store respective geographic locations of the user equipment at each location in the geographic area where the gathered wireless performance metric data exceeds, for the predetermined time period, the threshold value. The control circuitry may, in response to a trigger condition, control the output device to produce an output that identifies at least one of the stored geographic locations to a user of the user equipment.
