METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR REAL-TIME PERFORMANCE MONITORING IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

A network performance monitor that uses open interfaces recently standardized for wireless communication systems to provide unbiased, real-time performance information and data analysis for each open interface. This in turn allows system operators and manufacturers to allocate resources efficiently and to identify and resolve problems associated with network nodes. The network performance monitor includes a monitor for monitoring messages on at least one communication interface of and an analyzer for analyzing the monitored messages and for generating real-time performance data based on the analysis.
