An apparatus for logging and reporting network parameters within a
portable communication device that includes a processor and a wireless
module that may communicate with a wireless network such as a wireless
telephone network, for example, via a wireless connection. The wireless
module may determine characteristic information associated with the
wireless connection and may provide the characteristic information to the
processor. The processor may format the characteristic information for
transmission and then transmit the formatted characteristic information
to the wireless network. In addition, the processor may store the
characteristic information within the portable communication device for
future aggregation and transmission.
