procedures for the protection of persu00f6nlichkeitsdaten in netzmonitoring with client terminals

摘要

The inventive method described here offers a technical improvement in the protection of personal data of mobile communications customers and at the same time an improvement in the positioning accuracy for various monitoring applications such as monitoring of the radio coverage by means of customer terminals in order to optimize and plan mobile radio networks. The customer identities and terminal identities such as phone numbers or IMEIs are not used and therefore are not transferred. In addition, further statistical dilutions of the measured data are performed in such a way that tracing of individual customers and customer movements is effectively prevented, even in the event of unpermitted data use and unauthorized data access, but without jeopardizing the quality of the determination of the radio coverage.
