Control Plane and User plane packet data are collected within the Radio Access Network using a plurality of network devices. Consolidation and summarization of this information is then performed to present a unified picture of RAN through abstract APIs to management and analytics applications. The invention identifies methods of retaining the collected network data, such as control and application protocol headers at the collection points, and consolidation and exporting this network data to management/reporting/analytics application using application driven rules for consolidation and summarization. Real-time statistical analysis tools, which may be used to predict failure and degradation trends and proactively control the underlying causes, are also disclosed.
A method of generating consolidated information regarding a Radio Access Network (RAN), comprising:
A method of computing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in in a Radio Access Network, comprising:
A method of correlating a plurality of protocols in user plane and control plane to identify per user, per network aggregation points or domain/website flows and estimate consolidated per user, per aggregation point or domain/website performance metrics, the method comprising:
