Abstract
To provide an information collection system capable of collecting a variety of network information, the information collection system according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a service platform (10) that is connected to networks (31) to (33) and collects network information held by the networks (31) to (33), and an application server (20) that notifies the service platform (10) of a collection policy of the network information. The service platform (10) collects the network information from at least one network satisfying the collection policy among the networks (31) to (33), and sends the collected network information or service information generated based on the collected network information to the application server (20).
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a base station;
- a service platform that is connected to a plurality of network functions;
- an application server that sends a request message including a first threshold to the service platform, wherein
- the service platform sends a message including a second threshold to request a congestion information, to at least one network function among the plurality of network functions;
- receives the congestion information from the at least one network function based on a change in congestion status related to the base station that is crossing the second threshold;
- generates a combined status information by combining the received congestion information;
- and
- sends the combined status information to the application server,
- wherein the first threshold indicates a range of the combined status information at which the application server wishes to be informed of the combined status information.

A service platform comprising:
- at least one memory storing instructions, and
- at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
- receive a request message including a first threshold sent from an application server;
- send a message including a second threshold to request a congestion information, to at least one network function among a plurality of network functions;
- receive the congestion information from the at least one network function based on a change in congestion status related to a base station that is crossing the second threshold;
- generate a combined status information by combining the received congestion information;
- and
- send the combined status information to the application server,
- wherein the first threshold indicates a range of the combined status information at which the application server wishes to be informed of the combined status information.

- receive a combined status information from the service platform, wherein
- a message including a second threshold to request a congestion information is sent from the service platform to at least one network function among a plurality of network functions,
- the combined status information is generated by combining the congestion information received by the service platform from the at least one network function based on a change in congestion status related to a base station that is crossing the second threshold, and
- the first threshold indicates a range of the combined status information at which the communication terminal wishes to be informed of the combined status information.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving a request message including a first threshold sent from an application server;
- sending a message including a second threshold to request a congestion information, to at least one network function among a plurality of network functions;
- receiving the congestion information from the at least one network function based on a change in congestion status related to a base station that is crossing the second threshold;
- generating a combined status information by combining the received congestion information;
- and
- sending the combined status information to the application server,
- wherein the first threshold indicates a range at which the application server wishes to be informed of the combined status information.
