Description

1 TARIFF CALL LOGS ARE OPTIONAL FOR LOCATION SERVER AUTHENTICATION TESTS. A SYSTEM AND METHOD THAT INCLUDES LINKED MATCHING Technical Area The invention relates to location servers used by mobile communication system operators. In verification tests, GPS (Global Positioning System) is used during the record matching phase. In addition to location server logs, call server logs are also optional. It relates to a system and method that enables its inclusion in the matching process. State of the Art Location records generated by location servers in mobile communication systems 15 They are particularly critical because they are used to pinpoint the location of emergency calls. They are of great importance. Therefore, location servers use different algorithms and methods. the location information they produce must be within the specified error limits. This is required. Mobile communication operators that have location servers provide the service. We periodically check the accuracy of the location servers in the regions they provide. 20 The results of these tests are then submitted to the state for evaluation along with various reports. They are obliged to forward this information to their respective institutions. Periodic verification tests conducted within this scope ensure the service of the mobile communication system. This is done by making test calls in the vicinity of the base stations it serves. Its reliability is 25. Following test calls made with test equipment equipped with high-performance GPS devices, the relevant Just as a location record is created on the location server for the call, it is also created on the call server. A call log is created. Additionally, the GPS device provides location information about the call. In addition, the phone number used with the device, the speed of the vehicle in which the device being tested is located, GPS 30 contains a lot of important information, such as the number of satellites used in position calculations. It creates records. Location records transmitted to the analytical system of the mobile communication system through various means, and GPS records are matched with call records to determine the location generated by location servers. Error margins in the records are identified and reported by unit 35 in the analytical system. 2 They are reported by [the relevant authority]. This matching process primarily involves location records. GPS records are taken into consideration. However, the details of the call made are included in the generated reports. In some cases, depending on the needs, mobile communication system operators may use matching tools. They must also include call recordings in the process. Current procedures for including call records in the matching processes In one of the methods, call records are taken into account during matching in all cases. This ensures that the position is received. In this method, the analytical system receives the transmitted position. records, GPS records, and call records of the phone used in the periodic test. It performs a match using the numbers and time intervals for each record type. 10 This method is quite successful when all call records can be submitted to the system. It works in this way. However, it creates a new analytical system from past records. In different scenarios, such as switching to the system, call records are deleted for various reasons. In cases where it cannot be delivered to the analytical system, which is critical for matching. Even if location and GPS records are available in the system, call records are missing. 15 The results of all verification tests conducted in December were deemed invalid in the analytical system. This situation is observed in the reports produced for the relevant region, where sufficient verification tests are not performed. This leads to the test not being found and necessitates repeating the tests. Another of the current methods being followed is the matching of call records. 20 Exclusion from the processes. In this method, the location that is important for matching. Error margins of verification tests performed using records and GPS records It can be measured, and most of the desired reports are generated by the reporting unit of the analytical system. It can be generated. However, verification tests revealed that call records... The reports, which should also include details, are 25, including call records for the relevant matching process. Because they are not included, they cannot be generated as desired. In this method, the relevant reports... This includes information about calls that is currently in the analytics system's database. A process that matches call records with already paired location records and GPS records. Subsequent scripts are executed. This process is easy in small mobile communication systems. However, especially the communication network and consequently the number of verification tests is very high, 30 In large mobile communication systems, this can take a long time. Reducing this time While downloading is possible by providing additional resources to the analytical system, this situation involves resources. This increase leads to an increase in costs. 3 The current application numbered TR2024 / 017020 concerns emergency situations such as natural disasters. The location of mobile operator network users is determined with a high degree of accuracy. It is related to a system that enables this. In the system, data is obtained by the data collection module. to process the collected data and determine user location using GPS and cellular network data. There is at least one location determination module configured to determine this. However, 5 The system in question is designed to test the accuracy of the location server. It does not mention the organizational structure. In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions, the subject matter... Due to its shortcomings, an improvement in the relevant technical field is necessary. 10 It has been observed. Purpose of the Invention The invention aims to solve problems in existing methods in mobile communication. 15 call recordings during the verification test matching phase for system operators optional inclusion and generation of reports accordingly It proposes a system and method that provides this. In the method described in the invention, the analytical system administrator of the mobile communication system is again 20. Verification was made through the call log control unit proposed by the inventor. preference regarding whether or not to include call recordings in the matching of tests settings. This preference involves a retrospective data transfer in the analytics system, mobile. many It may vary depending on the reason, and the system administrator will make the following 25 decisions based on these situations. You can update your preference. When GPS and location records related to the verification tests are received by the system, the call The call record control unit is configured in the analytical system and the call records are matched. Checks the setting that determines whether or not it will be included in the process. This setting is disabled. 30 In this case, the call log control unit sends the call log matching information to the matching unit. It communicates that it is not necessary. The matching unit that receives this information then proceeds with the matching process. After checking if there is a call log, it matches the relevant GPS and location records. If call records exist, they should still be included in the matching process, and important information from the call records should be taken into account. It adds the information to the location records. 35 call records that match the relevant GPS and location records. 4 If not, the pairing unit will match the location records with the GPS records. then location with information indicating that there is no call log during the matching phase. It updates its records. The setting that determines whether call logs are included in the matching process is enabled. 5 In this case, the call log control unit sends the call log to the matching unit. It transmits the information that it is necessary for matching. The matching unit that receives this information, again After checking if there is a valid call record for pairing, the relevant GPS and by including call records that match location records in the matching process. It enriches location records with important incoming information. However, the relevant GPS and location 10 If no call records match the available records, the system administrator must actively... The pairing understands that call logs are necessary due to the settings it has configured. The unit considers the records of the uploaded verification test invalid and discards them without any permission. It does not involve a matching process. GPS and location that cannot be matched with call logs. Server logs are also entirely 15, in accordance with the analytical system administrator's preference. It can be deleted from the system or added to the analytical system's database for later analysis. They can also be sent to an index that stores invalid records. The call log control unit is also involved in the stage where the reporting unit generates the reports. It comes into play. If call 20 is included in the reports generated for the verification tests performed. If information regarding the records is not mandatory, the system administrator may exclude call logs. The call log control unit configures the settings for how it can be stored. Reporting unit Before generating the report, it obtains the value of this setting from the call log control unit. The setting... Reporting that understands that call logs are not mandatory if they are disabled. The unit, in location record queries that generate these types of reports, makes a call during the matching phase 25 It generates reports including location records for which there is no record. This In this way, in cases where call recording is not required during the matching process, the call recording is available. This prevents validation tests from being deemed invalid due to the absence of these features. Report 30 states that the inclusion of call log information is mandatory in verification tests. In these types of settings, the system administrator, again through the call log control unit, can configure the relevant settings for the call. It configures the system to indicate that the records should be included. Reporting unit after receiving confirmation from the call log control unit that the setting is enabled for the relevant reports Excluding location records that have information indicating no call logs in location record queries. It generates reports by keeping track of the data. In these types of reports, the call record matching 35 a decrease in the number of valid validation tests due to its absence in the stage will be. Despite this decrease, the condition regarding the number of verification tests required for the report will remain the same. If this is provided, no further action will be required, however... If the condition is not met, additional validation tests are performed to determine if the tests are adequate. It will need to reach the number. 5 Thus, in the verification tests of location servers in mobile communication systems The matching of GPS records with records generated by location servers involves call logs. Whether or not it is included is at the discretion of the system administrator and depends on system resources. This is achieved by using it effectively. Thanks to this system and method, matching is 10 In reports where call records are not mandatory in the process, various aspects are mentioned during the matching phase. Verification tests performed in cases where call records are unavailable due to various reasons This prevents it from being deemed invalid. Also, the call is made during the matching process. In reports where records are mandatory, valid records are kept and invalid records are excluded. Because it is easily filtered, it unnecessarily increases system resources and this 15 Consequently, there is no need to increase the cost of the analytical system. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. This becomes clearer thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures. It will be understood. 20 Explanation of the Figures Figure 1 is a schematic view of the system described in the invention.

Generating reports excluding location records 15 Detailed Description of the Invention In this detailed explanation, the preferred configurations of the invention are not merely for better understanding the subject. 20 It is explained. The invention provides communication services for mobile devices; mobile communications. in their systems (1), location servers (2) that provide location information for devices When matching records in verification tests, call records can be optionally matched. It relates to a system and method used for inclusion. The system involves mobile communication. the system (1) is within the coverage area for signal exchanges in the infrastructure. GPS satellite (3) is used to determine the location of the devices. Call For its services, the call server (4) provides service. The invention involves method steps, the call of the system administrator on the analytical system (5). Call for matching of verification tests performed through the registration control unit (8) It starts with setting its preference regarding whether or not to include the records (1001). System The manager made this choice based on the current operations performed on the analytical system (5). It can determine its preference and also update it according to changing conditions. 35 8 The invention allows this change of preference to be made again through the call record control unit (8). This allows for verification tests to be performed later using GPS records and... Location records reach the analytics system (5) (1002). In the next stage, the call log control unit (8) is configured in the analytical system (5). and check the setting that determines whether call logs will be included in the matching process. (1003). Determines whether call records will be included in the matching process. If the setting is disabled, the call log control unit (8) is connected to the matching unit (6) It conveys the information that the call record is not required for matching (1004). Matching unit (6), If call recording is not required for matching, then call 10 is valid for matching. Checks if there is a record (1005). Call matches GPS and location records. When there are records, the matching unit (6) includes them in the matching and calls Adding important information from the records to the location records and adding it to the database (9) records (1006). In case there are no call records matching GPS and location records. then the matching unit (6), after matching the location records with the GPS records 15 Location records along with information indicating that there was no call log during the matching phase. update and save to the database (9) (1007). The setting that determines whether call records are included in the matching process is enabled. In this case, the call log control unit (8) sends the call log to the matching unit (6) 20 It communicates the information that it is necessary for matching (1008). The matching unit that receives this notification (6), If the call record is required for matching, then the valid call record for matching is available. checks whether or not it exists (1009). Call records that match GPS and location records. When this happens, the matching unit (6) includes them in the matching from the call records It enriches the location records with the important information received and transmits it to the database (9) (1010). GPS 25 And if there are no call records matching location records, the matching unit (6), records of the uploaded verification test are not subjected to any matching process. The system and method proposed by the invention are deemed invalid (1011). These GPS and location server records are included in the analytical system administrator's call log. 30 in total, in accordance with an adjustment that will be made through the control unit (8). deleted from the system or reviewed later if the system has sufficient resources. In order to keep invalid records on the database (9) of the analytical system (5), It recommends writing to the index. 9 Then the system administrator, call log control unit (8) on the analytical system (5) whether or not the reports generated through this method contain information about call records. It sets its preference (1012). After this step, the call log control unit (8) records the call in the reports. It reports to the reporting unit (7) whether or not there is information about the records (1013). 5 understands that call logs are not mandatory if the setting is disabled. reporting unit (7), call record during matching phase in location record queries It generates reports including location records that have information that it is not present (1014). The reporting unit (7) received information from the call log control unit (8) that the setting is active. In this case, location log queries indicate that there is no call record. It generates reports excluding records (1015). 10 Thus, verification of location servers (2) in mobile communication systems (1) In the tests, location was determined using GPS records generated via GPS satellite (3). Call server (4) in matching location records produced by servers (2) Whether or not to include call logs generated by the system administrator is up to the system administrator. 15 flexibly, depending on preferences and the efficient use of available resources. It can be managed. This system and method does not require call recording. In the scenarios, call records do not reach the analytical system (5) for various reasons. This prevents validation tests from being deemed invalid in certain situations. In addition, In scenarios where call records are mandatory, invalid records are automatically deleted. By filtering, system resources are not unnecessarily increased, and this situation There is no need for the additional costs that would be incurred.
