Abstract
The present invention relates to a correlation module for correlating IP layer traffic and wireless layer network elements in a network. According to an example embodiment, the correlation module includes an RNC analyzer, a Gn snoop unit, and/or a mapping unit. The RNC analyzer is configured to collect wireless layer network element information from at least one RNC. The Gn snoop unit is configured to collect wireless layer network element information and IP layer traffic information from at least one Gn interface between a serving GPRS support node and a gateway GPRS support node. The mapping unit is configured to map the IP layer traffic and the wireless layer network elements in the network based on the collected IP layer traffic information and the collected wireless layer network element information. A method of correlating IP layer traffic and wireless layer network elements in a network is also disclosed.
