Method of collecting per-user performance data
First Claim
1. A method for implementation in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of base stations and a plurality of mobility management entities, comprising:
- receiving, at a first mobility management entity and from a first base station, measurement data generated by the first base station for a first mobile unit having a connection to the wireless communication system via the first base station, the measurement data comprising a temporary identifier associated with the first mobile unit for the duration of the connection;
determining, at the first mobility management entity, a permanent identifier of the first mobile unit using the temporary identifier in the measurement data generated by the first base station; and
combining, at the first mobility management entity, the measurement data generated by the first base station for the first mobile unit with measurement data generated by the first mobility management entity for the first mobile unit and previously collected measurement data for the first mobile unit to form a first record that is uniquely associated with the first mobile unit, and wherein the first record is indexed by the permanent identifier.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for implementation in a wireless communication system including a plurality of base stations, a plurality of gateways, and a plurality of mobility management entities. The method includes receiving, at a first mobility management entity and from a first base station, measurement data collected by the first base station for a first mobile unit having a connection to the wireless communication system via the first base station. The measurement data includes a temporary identifier associated with the first mobile unit for the duration of the connection. The method also includes identifying the first mobile unit using the temporary identifier and forming a first record associated with the first mobile unit. The first record includes the measurement data collected by the first base station for the first mobile unit and previously collected measurement data for the first mobile unit.

15. A method for implementation in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of base stations and a plurality of mobility management entities, comprising:
-
generating, at a first base station, measurement data for a first mobile unit having a connection to the wireless communication system via the first base station; and providing, from the first base station to a first mobility management entity, the measurement data and a temporary identifier associated with the first mobile unit for the duration of the connection, wherein providing the measurement data and the temporary identifier comprises providing the temporary identifier so that the first mobility management entity identifies the first mobile unit using the temporary identifier, determine a permanent identifier that uniquely identifies the first mobile unit based on the temporary identifier, and combine the measurement data generated by the first base station for the first mobile unit, measurement data generated by the first mobility management entity for the first mobile unit, and previously collected measurement data for the first mobile unit to form a first record that is uniquely associated with the first mobile unit, and wherein the first record is indexed by the permanent identifier. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for implementation in a wireless communication system comprising a plurality of base stations, a plurality of gateways, and a plurality of mobility management entities, comprising:
-
generating, at a first gateway, measurement data for a first mobile unit having a connection to the wireless communication system via a first base station; and providing, from the first gateway to a first mobility management entity, the measurement data and a permanent identifier associated with the first mobile unit, wherein providing the measurement data and the permanent identifier comprises providing the permanent identifier so that the first mobility management entity can identify the first mobile unit using the permanent identifier and combine the measurement data generated by the first gateway for the first mobile unit, measurement data generated by the first mobility management entity for the first mobile unit, and previously collected measurement data for the first mobile unit to form a first record that is uniquely associated with the first mobile unit, and wherein the first record is indexed by the permanent identifier. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
