Abstract:

This invention generally relates to systems, methods and computer program code for monitoring digital mobile communications networks, in particular digital mobile phone networks, for purposes such as a test, trouble shooting, and evaluation of a network and its usage. A method of processing digital mobile phone network data for analysis, the method comprising: inputting network data captured from a digital mobile phone network, said network data comprising data for a plurality of communications sessions over said network, said network data including a plurality of session related parameters; inputting query data for one or more queries, a query defining a statistic relating to one or more of said parameters, to be computed from said network data; operating with said query on said captured network data to determine one or more intermediate statistics; storing said intermediate statistics in a data store for analysis; and displaying a result of said query in a Graphical User Interface (GUI), said GUI comprising a map having at least one clickable icon, said icon providing information on a result of said query from said statistic and, when clicked, the GUI providing information on data from which said statistic is computed.

Abstract:

This invention relates to systems, methods and computer program code for testing, troubleshooting and evaluation of a mobile phone network. We describe a method of processing network data which includes a plurality of session related parameters. The method comprises inputting one or more queries, a query defining a statistic relating to said parameters and to be computed from said network data, formatting a query to define said statistic in terms of one or more intermediate statistics from which said statistic is computable, operating with said formatted query to determine said one or more intermediate statistics, and storing these in a data store for analysis, preferably indexed by said parameters. Preferably entries for the parameters are stored at time positions in a data pipe.
