Claim 0:
1. An apparatus of a service producer of a base station in a radio access network (RAN), the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
decode, at the service producer of the base station, raw performance measurements received from a plurality of base stations; and
generate, using the service producer of the base station, performance measurements related to at least one of an inter-base station handover or a protocol data unit (PDU) session resource setup for the plurality of base stations based on the raw performance measurements, wherein:
the performance measurements are useable for performance monitoring of the plurality of base stations in the RAN;
the performance measurements include a number of successful handover preparations; and
the performance measurement corresponding to the number of successful handover preparations is a cumulative counter (CC) which is incremented by 1 on receipt of a handover command message at the base station from an access management function (AMF); and

a memory interface configured to send to a memory the performance measurements.
