The present disclosure is directed to aspects of assessing performance of a session between an OTT service provider endpoint and an OTT service recipient endpoint in regard of a particular OTT service. The performance assessment is based on a series of data records generated for the session. Data record generation includes monitoring, at a network site between the two endpoints and during successive periods of time, at least one transport layer connection of the session. The monitoring is performed to determine, for each period of time, an activity metric indicative of a pending transport layer activity of the session in the respective period of time. This activity metric is then evaluated in connection with service performance assessment.

Transport layer monitoring and performance assessment for OTT services

The invention relates to a method for performance reporting in a wireless network, wherein at least one terminal is associated to a terminal report server by means of information in the terminal. Prior to initiating the performance report, information on operator identity is retrieved. The operator identity is combined with information identifying the associated terminal report server to compile a fully qualified domain name. Connectivity information to the terminal server report is requested and received from a domain name server, whereupon a performance report session to the terminal report server is initiated using the received connectivity information. The invention also relates to a terminal wherein the inventive method is applied.

Method and arrangement for terminal reporting

A method and caching server for enabling caching of a portion of a media file in a User Equipment (UE) in a mobile telecommunications network. The caching server selects the media file and determines a size of the portion to be cached in the UE. The size may be determined depending on radio network conditions for the UE and/or characteristics of the media file. The caching server sends an instruction to the UE to cache the determined size of the portion of the media file in the UE.

Method and apparatus for caching

A method and apparatus for controlling data traffic in a communications network. The server determines that network conditions are suitable for sending delay tolerant data traffic, and as a result of the determination, it transmits a grant message to at least one client device, the grant message informing the client device that it is permitted to send or receive delay tolerant data traffic.

Data traffic control in a communication network

A method is provided in a network management node for handling an alarm caused by a fault in a communications system. An alarm caused by a fault in the communications system is received from a first network element within the communications system. The alarm is associated with an identity of the first network element, and an alarm time associated with the time when the alarm was active. After receiving the alarm, the network management node sends a request to a user activity database, requesting one or more matching records. Each of the matching records is requested to comprise an identity equal to the identity of the first network element associated with the alarm, and a record time period that comprises the time when the alarm was active. The network management node receives one or more matching records from the user activity database, which one or more matching user session records identify the user sessions being affected by the alarm, and then handles the alarm based on the one or more matching user session records.

Handling alarms based on user session records

It presented a method comprising the steps of: determining, in a caching server of a telecommunication network, a user profile to analyze; obtaining, in the caching server, a group of user profiles; obtaining correlation measurements for each user profile in the group of user profiles in relation to the user profile to analyze; and calculating a content caching priority for at least one piece of content of a content history associated with the group of user profiles, taking the correlation measurement into account. A corresponding server, computer program and computer program product are also provided.
