Example Embodiment

[0026] In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth such as particular architectures, interfaces, techniques, etc., in order to provide a thorough understanding. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description with unnecessary detail. Throughout this specification, the same reference numbers refer to the same or similar elements.

[0027] Briefly, the present teachings provide methods for quantifying operator relationships in various embodiments for their roaming users. This enables operators to provide their subscribers with improved services while also earning the highest possible revenue. As mentioned in the background section, many users roam between different operators, and operators have different agreements with different operators. In addition, operators can also offer different agreements to their customers. These m...

Abstract

A method (20) of enabling improved efficiency in a first communications network (10A) based on relation metrics on a relation between a first operator (A) of the first communications network (10A) anda second operator (B) of a second communications network (10A, 10B). The method (20) is performed in a network entity (7) and comprises: obtaining (21) data relating to users having a subscription with the first operator (A) and data relating to users having a subscription with the second operator (B); determining (22), based on the obtained data relating to users, a first metric IAB giving number of users roaming to the first operator (A) from the second operator (B) and a second metric OAB giving number of users roaming from the first operator (A) to the second operator (B); and providing (23) the first and second metrics IAB, OAB as relation metrics to a network device (9A) of the first communications network (10A) for use in improving efficiency in the first communications network (10A). A method (50) in a network device (9A) is also provided, and a network entity, a network device, computer programs and computer program products.

Description

technical field [0001] The technology disclosed herein relates generally to the field of communication networks, and more particularly to methods, network entities, network devices, computer programs and computer program products for improving the efficiency of communication networks. Background technique [0002] Wireless communication has undergone rapid development and more and more services are provided by many different operators. Users expect high quality and uninterrupted provision of services, even across borders, which is accompanied by changes in the operators providing the services. In such so-called roaming scenarios, it may be difficult for the operator of the network to estimate the number of roaming users roaming into and out of the network and thus how to best utilize the communication resources. [0003] With more and more operators, the market for providing wireless services is becoming competitive and difficult. Of greatest interest to all operators is f...
