Abstract:
1. A method for categorizing service metrics in a communication network, comprising: determining an ongoing call as being associated with a user who is mobile if a speed of the wireless endpoint device exceeds a speed threshold at any time during the ongoing call, or determining the ongoing call as being associated with a user who is stationary if the speed of the wireless endpoint device is, at most, equal to the speed threshold over a call duration, wherein the determining is performed by an application server deployed within the communication network; and adding, by the application server, call performance data of the ongoing call to an aggregate service metric for mobile users if the ongoing call is deemed as being associated with a user who is mobile or adding the call performance data to an aggregate service metric for stationary users if the ongoing call is deemed as being associated with a user who is stationary.
