Abstract: A method and apparatus for capturing signaling data exchanged across multiple interfaces of a network via a distributed network analyzer, selectively manipulating the captured signaling data for parallel real time distributed analysis by a plurality of signaling analyzers, and transmitting the selectively manipulated signaling data to each of the plurality of signaling analyzers for the parallel real time distributed analysis by the signaling analyzers. The transmitted signaling data includes at least one of network signalizing data, user signalizing data, and application signaling data. Further, the captured signaling data analyzed by the signaling analyzers includes information needed for Quality of Service analysis of end user traffic. Accordingly, a method and apparatus for parallel real time distributed analysis of signaling data is provided, reducing complexity and cost of tools for analysis of signaling data.

Abstract: A method of categorising speed of a terminal (202) in a wireless communications network (116) comprises monitoring a first factor associated with allocation of a radio-frequency (RF) resource that is not related to mobility of the terminal (202). The first factor is then offset against a second factor, the second factor being potentially indicative of mobility of the terminal (202). The speed of the terminal (202) is then approximated using the result of offsetting the first factor against the second factor.

Abstract: A user operable component is displayed on a display device and receives user input to assign weight factors for optimization criteria for a communications event from a structured collection of data. Another user operable component is displayed on the display device and receives user input to assign weight factors for optimization criteria for the communication event from another structured collection of data. A network utilization/quality score is obtained from said network utilization/quality criteria and the assigned weight factors, and is displayed on the display device. An optimization score is obtained from said optimization criteria and the assigned weight factors and is also displayed on the display device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for grouping signaling messages across a point to multipoint network. The signaling messages across a point to multipoint network are correlated into a session based on respective call information of the signaling messages and the signaling messages including summarized traffic information in relation thereto are displayed using a graphical user interface.

Abstract: A system and method for providing an electronic resort and presentation of measurements, such as calls in a telephone network. The system and method allow the selection of measurement attributes and measurement attribute values in which to view statistical graphs, provide the statistical graphs, and allow the selection of a part of one of the statistical graphs, for example a bar in a bar graph, to filter the measurements, such as calls, by that measurement attribute, such as establish cause and measurement attribute value, such as terminating conversational call. The system and method can further allow the filtering of measurements by the selected measurement attribute and selected measurement attribute value, the displaying of a new statistical graph, and the selection of a part of the new statistical graph. These steps could be repeated until selection is made to display the actual measurements from which the statistics have been gathered.

Abstract: A method of displaying quality of service information. The method generally comprises collecting data from a system under test; identifying quality of service parameters; calculating values for quality of service parameters based on the data collected from the system under test; graphing the values on a three dimensional graph having a first axis indicating the parameters, a second axis indicating values of the parameters, and a third axis indicating time.

Abstract: A method of displaying quality of service information based on data collected from a system under test. At least one base station related to the collected data is identified and for each time interval a quality of service value is calculated for each of the at least one base station. The quality of service values are compared to at least one defined threshold and a relationship between the quality of service values and the at least one defined threshold is displayed.

Abstract: In a telecommunications network having a radio access network (RAN) portion and a core network (CN) portion, data records are built from messages monitored in the RAN portion, each data record including at least two different predetermined types of field values, such as time, location area, cause indicative of a cause of termination of a transaction within a call for which the data record is built, subscriber identity and at least one type of service. The data records are then enriched by providing further information into the data records including at least an identifier for each predetermined type of field value in the data records.
