A communication analytics engine that executes in conjunction with a data collection platform may provide a unified and scalable solution for call data aggregation and processing. A data collection platform may establish a communication connection with a wireless carrier network. The data collection platform may collect call data of multiple user devices via the communication connection, in which the multiple user devices may use the wireless carrier network to initiate and receive calls to one or more additional devices. The data collection platform may convert the call data into a format that is readable by the communication analytics engine. The communication analytics engine may analyze the call data to generate analytic results that includes one or more key performance indicators (KPIs).

Various communication systems may benefit from improvements in communication flow. For example, a network may benefit from packet flow optimization. A method can include receiving a flow at an entity of a communication system having a virtualized control plane. The method can also include dynamically deciding how to route the flow to an entity selected from a group of entities comprising at least one virtualized part of an entity. The method can further include routing the flow as decided.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating media communication sessions along a path established between endpoints over one or more networks, wherein each media communication session includes a transmission of one or more media data packets over the one or more networks. The systems and methods may include receiving a request from a first endpoint to initiate a media communication session. A system may, responsive to receiving the request, determine a configuration for the media communication session from among a set of potential configurations. The determined configuration may include a path involving one or more network elements configured to process and to transmit the media data packets, and the determination can be based on (i) a historical measurement and a real-time measurement of one or more parameters contributing to an expected quality of media communication, and (ii) a target quality of media communication.

Network packet traffic in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network is analyzed by associating a micro network access agent with a single network element in the LTE network and performing packet traffic analysis for packet traffic processed by the single network element using the micro network access agent.

A network entity for use in a communication network. The network entity including a processing resource that is configured to obtain information indicative of a quality of experience on a user terminal in communication with the communication network; and to control the communication to the user terminal based on the obtained information indicative of a quality of experience.

A traffic patterned-based modem function adjustment method includes receiving at least one traffic pattern by a user device, identifying the at least one traffic pattern by the user device for detecting a traffic mode of the user device, acquiring assisted information of the at least one traffic pattern by the user device, and adjusting at least one modem function according to the traffic mode and the assisted information. The at least one traffic pattern includes packet transmission characteristics, a radio signal status, and/or codec information of a network communicating with the user device.

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. The present disclosure provides a method for supporting a real-time communication service between first UE and second UE in a real-time communication application function (AF) of a data network, the method comprising the steps of: establishing a real-time communication control session with the first UE; receiving a request for a quality of service (QoS) configuration from a real-time communication web server function (WSF) that provides the real-time communication service to the first UE and the second UE; and establishing a real-time communication control session with the second UE, wherein the request for the QoS configuration is generated on the basis of a media description offer received from the first UE.

Methods and systems for evaluating an audio quality using voice activity in a 4G and/or 5G network are disclosed. According to an implementation, a network component may determine that a voice call from a first user to a second user is established in a wireless network. The network component may include a user plane function in a 5G network and/or a serving gateway/packet data network gateway in a 4G network. The network component may obtain an audio stream associated with the voice call periodically until the voice call ends. The network component may further measure a packet loss rate of the audio stream, a muting rate of the audio stream, and a voice activity of the audio stream. The network component may determine whether the user perception of the voice call is impacted based at least in part on the packet loss rate, the muting rate, or the voice activity.

The disclosed system is a testing system configured to perform a handover test. The testing system includes a first test chamber having a turntable positioned to hold a wireless device connected to a cellular network. A second test chamber comprises a Wi-Fi signal source configured to supply the Wi-Fi signal to the wireless device and a control system. The control system varies a signal strength of the Wi-Fi signal at a predetermined interval while the wireless device is rotated by the turntable. The control system obtains measurement results that indicate a variation of the signal strength of the Wi-Fi signal due to a change of a position of the wireless device. The control system identifies an occurrence of a handover from the cellular signal to the Wi-Fi signal in response to the variation.
