Patent number: 11792673Abstract: Data analytics reporting (DAR) of a Radio Access Network (RAN) key performance indicator (KPI) from a data extraction entity (DEE) to a data analytics entity (DAE) in a data analytics process (DAP) is performed via an interface. The DEE is comprised in a gNB-Distributed Unit (gNB-DU) or a function therein. The DAE is comprised in a gNB-Centralized Unit (gNB-CU) or a function therein. A dataset regarding said KPI is transmitted from the DEE to the DAE. Said dataset comprises at least one empirical statistical moment mi determined by the DEE. Each of the at least one empirical statistical moment mi is determined by the DEE based on the following equation: m i = 1 N S ? ? n = 1 N S s n i . sn is a data sample of the KPI, and NS is a number of samples contributing to the respective moment mi.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: DEUTSCHE TELEKOM AGInventors: Paul Arnold, Gerd Zimmermann, Michael Einhaus
