Abstract
A method and mobile diagnostic measurement tool is described for collecting cellular network performance data. The method includes determining a current data rate for transmission of data between the measurement tool and a network node in a cellular network. The measurement tool includes a controller adaptively controlling the collection of network performance data by one or more data collection units in the measurement tool in accordance with variations in the current data rate. The collection of data is controlled so as to keep the total rate of collection of data to be less than or equal to the rate at which the data is transmitted to the network node. A memory in the tool may stored log mask tables which indicate which types of performance data can eliminated in the collection process depending on the transmit data rate.
