Abstract:
1. A system for obtaining information relating to an idle mobile station in a radio access network, the system comprising a computing platform being in communication with a radio network controller of said radio access network and being configured for: (a) selecting a segmentation parameter for said radio access network; (b) generating and sending at least one input signal through said radio network controller to said radio access network; (c) identifying in data outputted by said radio network controller an output signal resulting from said input signal, said output signal including, at least in part, switching oriented data associated with routing of services received from at least one idle mobile station; (d) determining radio oriented data for the radio access network based on the at least one input signal and the switching oriented data; (e) providing an indication of said at least one mobile station in relation to a particular segmentation associated with said selected segmentation parameter; and (f) steering the at least one mobile station across one or more cells operating within the radio access network based on the indication of the at least one mobile station in relation to the particular segmentation.
