Abstract
A method, computer readable medium and apparatus for normalizing cellular communications network data are disclosed. For example, the method collects a data packet from the cellular communications network, modifies a time stamp of the data packet in accordance with a promotion delay time from the time stamp of the data packet to create a normalized data packet and processes the normalized data packet to optimize state machine configurations.
Claims18
A method for normalizing cellular communications network data, comprising:
- collecting, by a processor, a data packet from the cellular communications network;
- modifying, by the processor, a time stamp of the data packet in accordance with a promotion delay time from the time stamp of the data packet to create a normalized data packet, wherein the promotion delay time comprises a delay associated with a promotion to a higher level of access in a radio resource control state machine, wherein the data packet is collected by and the time stamp is recorded by the processor of a gateway general packet radio services support node;
- and
- processing, by the processor, the normalized data packet to optimize state machine configurations.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for normalizing cellular communications network data, the operations comprising:
- collecting a data packet from the cellular communications network;
- modifying a time stamp of the data packet in accordance with a promotion delay time from the time stamp of the data packet to create a normalized data packet, wherein the promotion delay time comprises a delay associated with a promotion to a higher level of access in a radio resource control state machine, wherein the data packet is collected by and the time stamp is recorded by the processor of a gateway general packet radio services support node;
- and
- processing the normalized data packet to optimize state machine configurations.
