Abstract
Methods and devices are described that utilize the Early Data Transmission (EDT) protocol of 3GPP 5G New Radio for minimization of drive test (MDT) operations. Utilizing EDT for transmission of an MDT log availability indication, reception of an MDT log retrieval request, and/or transmission of MDT log data, reduces the power consumption and the required memory storage of user equipment (UE) devices that perform the MDT operations. In some examples, the measurement periodicity of the MDT measurements can be scaled by the mobility status of the UE device.
