AI Technical Summary
Mobile network operators (MNOs) face challenges in monitoring signaling traffic in 5G networks due to encryption protocols like mTLS, which prevent them from accessing necessary data for operational support, fault analysis, and performance monitoring, leading to high integration efforts and operational expenditures.
A method and system for signaling traffic monitoring (STM) that allows specifying and monitoring targeted signaling traffic requirements using an Information Object Class (IOC) and Network Resource Model (NRM), enabling efficient performance and fault management by filtering and streaming relevant signaling data to collection entities.
Enables precise and efficient monitoring of signaling traffic, reducing data overload and operational costs by allowing network operators to focus on critical operations and insights, improving network management agility and responsiveness.
