Abstract
According to one example embodiment, a method may include receiving, by a repository entity, first information on data related to a network entity. The method may further include storing, by the repository entity, second information related to the network entity based on the first information. The second information may include at least one of an identifier of the network entity and an identifier of a data acquiring entity having acquired the data.
Claims15
A user data repository entity of a mobile communication network, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the user data repository entity at least to:
- receive first information on data related to one or more user equipments;
- store, to an entry, second information related to the one or more user equipments based on the first information, wherein the second information comprises at least one of:
- an identifier of the one or more user equipments, and
- at least one of an identifier of a network analytics function having acquired the data and at least one pointer to a storage location of the data;
- and
- add, responsive to determining that the entry related to the one or more user equipments is already stored, a data set to the entry, wherein the data set is related to another network analytics function that has acquired additional data related to the one or more user equipments.

A network data analytics function entity, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the network data analytics function entity at least to:
- transmit, to a user data repository entity, an information retrieval request indicative of one or more user equipments to be analyzed;
- and at least one of:
- receive, from the user data repository entity, an entry comprising both information acquired by a network analytics function related to the one or more user equipments and information acquired by another network analytics function related to the one or more user equipments;
- and
- receive, from the user data repository entity, an entry comprising a plurality of pointers to a plurality of storage locations of the data related to the one or more user equipments, wherein a respective pointer of the plurality of pointers further comprises an analytics type of the data pointed to by the respective pointer or a data type of the data pointed to by the pointer selected from the group consisting of historical data, statistical data or prediction data.
