ABSTRACT

AUTOMATED MEASURMENT AND ANALYIS OF END-TO-END

PERFORMANCE OF VOLTE SERVICE

5 Systems and methods are disclosed herein that relate to automated measurement and
analysis of end-to-end performance of Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) service
and, in some embodiments, automated network optimization for VoLTE service
performance improvement. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a network
node (42) to perform automated end-to-end analysis of VoLTE sessions is provided. In
10 some embodiments, the method of operation of the network node (42) comprises
correlating (102A) control and data plane messages across a nodes and interfaces in a
VoLTE network to thereby provide data representative of end-to-end message flows for
a plurality of VoLTE sessions. The method of operation further comprises configuring
(104) one or more nodes in the VoLTE network based on the data representative of the
15 end-to-end message flows for the plurality of VoLTE sessions. In this manner, automated
network optimization for VoLTE service performance improvement can be provided.
