US 12,549,554 B2 · Data collection coordination and persistent storage control for analytics

Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for data collection coordination and persistent storage control for analytics. For example, certain embodiments may provide a unified data management framework that efficiently serves data collection and distribution needs and isolates a consumer from a producer. Further, some embodiments may provide for a reduction or elimination of unnecessary data storage in a data repository used in association with the data management framework provided by certain embodiments. Specifically, certain embodiments may allow a consumer entity that is requesting specific data to specify whether the data is to be kept in persistent storage in a data repository. The consumer entity, when requesting data, may send an indication that data is to be provided to the consumer entity only, that data is to be provided to the data repository only, or that the data is to be provided to the data repository and the consumer entity.

Dependent claims

An apparatus, comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one memory storing computer program code, which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the apparatus at least to perform:
receiving, from at least one consumer entity, at least one request for data, wherein the at least one request comprises at least one request for data related to at least one user equipment (UE);
determining a set of data sources that can provide the data, wherein the determining the set of data sources that can provide the data related to the at least one UE comprises querying, based on the at least one request, at least one other network entity to determine at least one network function serving the at least one UE;
ensuring that the data is provided from at least one data source of the set of data sources, the at least one data source comprising the at least one other network function;
and
performing one or more control actions related to controlling how a messaging framework replicates or provides the data to the at least one consumer entity.
