Abstract
A method for determining the mobility status of a user of a wireless communication network includes retrieving, from the wireless communication network, an indication about interactions between a user equipment associated with that user and the wireless communication network, and, for each interaction, determining a served area of the wireless communication network pertaining to that user equipment at the occurrence of that interaction, and determining the mobility status of that user at the occurrence of that interaction according to a comparison between a distance between the served area and a first further served area of the wireless communication network pertaining to that user equipment, and a first threshold distance; or a comparison between a distance between the served area and a second further served area of the wireless communication network pertaining to that user equipment, and a second threshold distance.
