Policy-Based Network KPI Monitoring for Privacy and Service Quality

The patent introduces a policy-based monitoring system as an intermediary between the network core and application providers. This system receives authorized monitoring requests from application providers, applies policy-based filtering and aggregation to the raw KPI data, and delivers processed information that balances transparency with privacy protection. The intermediary selectively exposes only relevant KPIs based on authorization policies, enabling service quality monitoring while preserving network privacy.

The patent implements local quality by providing different levels of KPI granularity to different application providers based on their specific needs and authorization levels. Rather than uniformly exposing all detailed KPIs to all providers, the system tailors the information delivery to each provider's requirements. This allows optimal user experience improvement for each provider while maintaining centralized network control through policy-based access management.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring monitoring policies and authorization rules before KPI data collection begins. Application providers submit their monitoring requirements in advance, and the policy-based system pre-processes these requests to determine which KPIs should be monitored and how they should be aggregated. This preliminary configuration reduces real-time processing complexity while maintaining the ability to perform real-time service adjustments based on monitored KPIs.
