1. A method for logging and reporting measurements related to network events by a user equipment (UE), comprising: receiving control plane based messaging from a network that configures the UE for performing one or more measurements related to one or more network events and for logging the one or more measurements, wherein the control plane based messaging is based on a protocol stack that includes one or more access stratum (AS) protocols, wherein the one or more AS protocols includes a radio resource control (RRC) signaling protocol, and wherein the configuring comprises configuring the UE with a trigger for the logging the one or more measurements; performing the one or more measurements, wherein the performing the one or more measurements comprises determining one or more of a time of the one or more network events, an observed network location at a time associated with the one or more network events, or channel information at a time associated with the one or more network events; logging at least one of the one or more measurements, based on the configuration; receiving, via the control plane based messaging, an explicit request from the network to report at least one of the logged one or more measurements; and reporting, via the control plane based messaging, the at least one of the logged one or more measurements to the network based on the request, wherein the reporting comprises transmitting the one or more measurements to a server.
