Abstract
A method for logging call information associated with a representative sampling of calls in a mobile communication network is disclosed. An identifier associated with each call is hashed to generate a hash value. The hash value is compared to predetermined logging criteria to determine whether call information associated with a particular call should be logged. Call information is logged for those calls meeting the predetermined criteria. The present invention may be used standing alone or to supplement IMSI-based call logging procedures already implemented in mobile communication networks.
