FIELD: radio engineering, communication.SUBSTANCE: in order to support generation of network statistics, a policy controller (30) of a mobile network may be provided with a network statistics generator (32) and an interface (Ni) to a network intelligence function (60). The network statistics generator (32) may use these interfaces of the policy controller (30) to obtain the information needed to generate the network statistics. In addition, the network statistics generator (32) may also use the information which is locally available at the policy controller (30). In other words, the policy controller (30) or one or more other nodes may act as sources of information for generating the network statistics. The network statistics generator (32) may select types of information to be used for compiling a certain network statistic and also suitably select nodes to be used as sources of information for obtaining these types of information. This may, for example, be accomplished based on a request received from the network intelligence function (60).EFFECT: efficient generation of network statistics.14 cl, 6 dwg |
