Abstract
Information regarding current conditions in a RAN or hybrid RAN/WAN are provided at fine geographic and temporal granularities (for example, on a per cell basis every second) using measurements and statistics produced in real time by monitoring a plurality of data sessions carried on the data plane of the network and tagging the measurements from the data sessions with a network location identifier (such as an identifier of a cell) associated with an endpoint of the data session. The information may include a profile for a shared channel (such as a cell) of the network, monitoring statistics for a portion of the network (such as a cell), or both. The information may have application in, for example, automatic network management (such as in congestion control), in automatic network diagnosis, and in network resource management and planning.
