Abstract
A specific user is tracked based on the cell site or service area that the user's device connects to. RANAP, GMM, and SM sessions are associated based on P-TMSI, IMSI, or IMEI. The sessions are maintained based on packets transmitted over the IuPS interface between one or more radio network controllers and a serving GPRS support node. Tracking information associated with information includes usage information such as responsiveness errors, device usage and location. Tracking of a user down to the cell site or service area level assists a mobile service provider in troubleshooting connection issues by providing more complete information and enabling recreation of a user's situation.
