Abstract
A method and a system for building a Combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR) in a management system of a telecommunications network, by collecting one or more call related events (real time Pre-CDRs) from the network with respect to a particular call by probes in real time, obtaining at least one off-line Call Detail Records data base (off-line CDR) from another system not belonging to the management system, and then integrating all the acquired data in a combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR) of the management system, using computer means.
Claims22
A method for building a Combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR) in a management system of a telecommunications network, comprising steps of:
- a) collecting one or more call related events with respect to a particular call from two or more data sources associated with said network, at least one of said data sources being a source of signaling data and at least another of said sources being a non-signaling bearer source of non-signaling data, by one or more probes and in real time, said call related events being real time Pre-CDRs;
- b) obtaining at least one Call Detail Records data base from a system being external to said management system, said Call detail Records data bases being off-line CDRs,
- c) integrating data produced at steps (a) and (b) thereby obtaining a combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR) of said management system.
A system for building a Combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR) in a management system of a telecommunications network, the system comprising:
- one or more probes capable of collecting call-related events from two or more data sources associated with said network in real time with respect to a particular call, at least one of said data sources being a source of signaling data and at least another of said sources being a non-signaling bearer source of non-signaling data, said call related events being real time Pre-CDRs;
- computer means comprising a processor and a memory and being adapted to receive data from said one or more probes in real time, and to receive off-line one or more Call Detail Records data bases from one or more systems being external to said management system, said Call detail Records data bases being off-line CDRs,
- said computer means being provided with hardware and software means capable of integrating data received both in real-time and off-line, to produce a combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR).
A method for building a Combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR) in a management system of a telecommunicating network comprising steps of:
- (a) collecting one or more call related events with respect to a particular call from two or more data sources in said network in real time, said call related events being real time Pre-CDR's, and wherein at least one of said data sources is a source of signaling data, and at least another of said data sources is a non-signaling bearer source of non-signaling data;
- (b) obtaining at least one Call Detail Records data base from a system being external to said management system, said at least one Call Detail Records data base being an off-line CDR;
- (c) integrating data produced at steps (a) and (b) thereby obtaining a combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR) of said management system.
A system for building a Combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR) in a management system of a telecommunicating network, the system comprising:
- one or more probes capable of collecting call-related events from two or more data sources in said network in real time, with respect to a particular call, wherein said call related events being real time Pre-CDR's, and wherein at least one of said data sources is a source of signaling data, and at least another of said data sources is a non-signaling bearer source of non-signaling data;
- computer means comprising a processor and a memory and being adapted to receive data from said one or more probes in real time, and to receive off-line one or more Call Detail Records data bases from one or more system being external to said management system, said one or more Call Detail Records data bases being an off-line CDR;
- said computer means being provided with hardware and software means capable of integrating data received both in real-time and off-line, to produce a combined Call Detail Records data base (Combined CDR).
