Network support for per user packet data throughput
First Claim
1. A method that provides packet data throughput information on a per user basis for at least one mobile terminal of a plurality of mobile terminals operatively connected to a communication network, the method comprising the steps of:
- collecting, by the telecommunication network, usage data associated with packet data calls for a respective mobile terminal and forming data throughput information from the usage data;
storing, by the telecommunication network, the data throughput information in a storage; and
sending, from the communication network to the respective mobile terminal, the data throughput information.

Abstract
One embodiment of the present method is for a method that provides packet data throughput information on a per user basis for at least one mobile terminal of a plurality of mobile terminals operatively connected to a communication network. In this embodiment the method may have the steps of: collecting, by the telecommunication network, usage data associated with packet data calls for the respective mobile terminal and forming data throughput information from the usage data; storing, by the telecommunication network, the data throughput information in a storage; and sending, from the communication network to the respective mobile terminal, the data throughput information. The system implements the method.

8. A method that provides packet data throughput information on a per user basis for at least one mobile terminal of a plurality of mobile terminals operatively connected to a communication network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
defining, by a respective mobile terminal of a plurality of mobile terminals, a send parameter for sending of data throughput information from a communication network;
communicating the send parameter from the respective mobile terminal to the communication network;
collecting in response to a received send parameter, by the telecommunication network, usage data associated with packet data calls for the respective mobile terminal and forming data throughput information from the usage data;
storing, by the telecommunication network, the data throughput information in a subscriber database; and
sending, from the communication network to the mobile terminal, the data throughput information as a function of the send parameter. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system that provides packet data throughput information on a per user basis for at least one mobile terminal of a plurality of mobile terminals operatively connected to a communication network, the system comprising:
-
at least one send parameter defined by a respective mobile terminal of a plurality of mobile terminals, the send parameter being communicated from the respective mobile terminal to the communication network;
collection module in the telecommunication network, the collection module collecting, in response to the send parameter, respective usage data associated with packet data calls for a respective mobile terminal and forming respective data throughput information from the usage data; and
a storage in the telecommunication network, the respective data throughput information being stored in the storage;
wherein the respective data throughput information is sent from the communication network to the mobile terminal as a function of the send parameter. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
