Method, node and system for management of a mobile network

A method for generating a performance map for a mobile network, the method comprising the operations of:

• determining at least one antenna characteristics model applicable in the mobile network;
• determining a path loss model applicable in the mobile network;
• determining an applicable antenna characteristics model for a localized user equipment measurement and estimate antenna impact on the user equipment measurement;
• estimating path loss related to the user equipment measurement;
• deducting estimated antenna impact from the estimated path loss to determine a localized, performance measurement;
• and
• repeating the steps-operations to generate a performance map for the mobile network.

A network management system in a mobile network, the network management system comprising:

• a user equipment, configured to receive and transmit information to and from network nodes, the information including localized user equipment measurements;
• network nodes communicatively coupled to the user equipment, configured to transmit and receive the information to and from the user equipment in the mobile network;
• domain management nodes and at least one network management node;
• a user equipment location and measurement unit located at a node in the network management system, configured to collect and process the user equipment measurements, the user equipment location and measurement unit including means for processing the user equipment measurement.
