Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring a communication system, comprising: a) acquiring and storing data in at least one first communication terminal of the communication system about at least one of (i) timeout events and (ii) faulty transfers in connection with at least one signaling process of the at least one first communication terminal of the communication system for evaluating quality of signaling in the communication system, the acquired and stored data being independent of data relating to quality of user data streams; b) creating a collection of said data for evaluating the signaling quality, the collection of said data comprising data about at least one interruption of at least one signaling procedure due to an absence of at least one acknowledgement in connection with the at least one signaling process in which the first communication terminal is involved, and transmitting that collection of said data in the at least one first communication terminal to a collection point for said data in the communication system; and c) using the data for evaluating the signaling quality that the collection point received from the at least one first communication terminal in the collection point to evaluate the quality of signaling in the communication system.
