System and method for mid-call merging of multi-protocol call messages on the Iub and Iur interfaces in UTRAN

摘要

System and method for combining call records for different protocols into a single combined call record during a call. An embodiment comprises correlating messages having multiple protocol formats, comprising correlating messages complying with a first protocol into a first call record using a first correlation key, correlating messages complying with a second protocol into a second call record using a second correlation key, detecting a key message complying with the first protocol, the key message having a fetch key parameter associated with messages complying with the second protocol, combining data from the second call record into the first call record to create a combined call record, and creating a pointer linking the second call record to the first call record.
