Abstract:
1. A data monitoring system in a communication network comprising: a mobile station; a base station that communicates with the mobile station; a mobile station-packet data serving node monitoring system (MPMS); a first packet data collecting device; a packet data serving node (PDSN) supporting a data communication service of the mobile station; a global position system (GPS) receiver that provides a time information received from the GPS to the first packet collecting device, wherein said mobile station receives the time information from the GPS; wherein the first packet data collecting device collects, together with the GPS time information provided by the GPS receiver, a communication protocol and a communication environment information between the base station supporting a mobile communication service of the mobile station and the PDSN, and provides the collected information to the MPMS, wherein the MPMS receives at least one of a wireless communication environment, a data communication environment, and a mobile communication protocol of the mobile station from the mobile station along with the GPS time information, at least one of a packet data communication environment and a data communication protocol of the mobile station from the first packet data collecting device along with the GPS time information, and monitors and analyzes the received information on a single time axis in time synchronization regardless of a time delay due to a distance between the MPMS and the first packet data collecting device; and a second packet data collecting device to collect at least one of a communication protocol and a communication environment information between the PDSN and an application server along with the time information provided from the GPS receiver, and provide the received information to the MPMS, wherein the MPMS receives at least one of the wireless communication environment, the data communication environment, and the mobile communication protocol of the mobile station from the mobile station along with the time information of the GPS receiver, receives at least one of the packet data communication environment and the data communication protocol of the mobile station from the second packet data collecting device along with the time information, and monitors and analyzes the received information on a single time axis.
