Claim:
1. A method of determining a leakage rate within a wireless communication network, the method comprising: counting, with one or more counters located within one or more application servers within the wireless communication network, (i) users on the wireless communication network, (ii) users attempting to access the wireless communication network, and (iii) users attempting to exit the wireless communication network; based upon the counting, determining a first number of users on the wireless communication network at a first time; based upon the counting, determining a second number of users on the wireless communication network at a second time; based upon the counting, determining a third number of user attempts to access the wireless communication network between the first time and the second time; determining a success rate for the third number of user attempts the wireless communication network between the first time and the second time; determining a fourth number of users that attempted to exit the wireless communication network between the first time and the second time; multiplying the third number by the success rate to provide a first result; subtracting the fourth number from the first result to provide a second result; and calculating the leakage rate by (i) determining a difference between the first number and the second number, (ii) subtracting the second result from the difference to create a third result, and (iii) dividing the third result by the first number.
