METHODS, TOOLS, AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING AND PREVENTING ABNORMAL NETWORK PERFORMANCE USING ENHANCED DATA COLLECTION FOR NETWORK DATA ANALYTIC FUNCTIONS

Abstract

In an embodiment, a method, implemented in a network anomaly monitoring function module, NAMF, includes: receiving, by the NAMF module, configuration information indicating a network anomaly monitoring strategy; determining to monitor, based on the network anomaly monitoring strategy, network anomalies in a network area; selecting at least one network function element on the network associated with the network area; transmitting, to the selected network function element, a message indicating a request for statistics associated with the network area, based on the network anomaly monitoring strategy; and receiving, from the selected network function element, the requested statistics.
