Process-Efficient Generation Of Data Records For Data Communications Involving Groups Or Aggregates Of IoT Devices

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium;
• instructions stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium, the instructions being executable on one or more processors of a network node in a mobile network for:
• for each one of a plurality of user equipments (UEs), receiving a request which includes data indicative of a network resource usage event of the UE and storing the data in association with a group or aggregation identifier (ID);
• and
• in response to identifying a predetermined condition, aggregating the data indicative of the network resource usage events associated with the group or aggregation ID;
• and
• sending a request for generating a data record based on the aggregated data indicative of the network resource usage events associated with the group or aggregation ID.
