Abstract

A technique of generating statistics for a performance metric of a mobile communications network is presented. The performance metric depends on at least a first parameter and a second parameter, wherein the first and second parameters each can be categorized in two or more non-overlapping sets of parameter values. Different combinations of first and second parameter value sets are defined. A method implementation of the technique comprises receiving performance metric values, first parameter values and second parameter values. A particular performance metric value is associated with the first and second parameter values prevailing when the particular performance metric value was acquired. The method further comprises identifying groups of performance metric values for which the associated first and second parameter values match the first and second parameter value sets of an individual combination, and generating the performance metric statistic from the identified groups of performance metric values.
