Topic 1

  • Implementation discussion (Medha) how the network can derive connectivity insights information across various core network generations (5G Core, 4G Core) and relation to CDRs (Customer Data Records)

    • Mรกtรฉ described Ericsson's approach: We collect performance monitoring events from the UPF node and relate these measurements to IMSI and Slice. The pre-commercial implementation is now available and tested in lab networks.

Open PRs

  • #40, Update to paths in YAML

    • Discussion on the basic 'network info' (MNO name, bearer, Wi-Fi vs cellular)

      • has been requested by developers in the pastย 

      • could be used to verify that the connection is on a particular operator, and if connection is an MVNO

      • Under discussion in API backlog #21, 'Device Quality Indicator'

      • Kevin to ask TSC which API should expose this info and confirm the user story (i.e. why is it useful, is it for aggregators, relationship to Telco Finder)

    • Discussion on whether the API is device specific or application specific

      • currently the answer does not take into account the identity of the application - only its network requirements

      • the 'generic' question is 'can you meet these network demands'? (this is device specific)

      • the 'specific' question is 'can you meet the network demands for a specific application (this is device AND application specific)
