Abstract:
1. A system for managing transactional data generated in a mobile communication network, the system comprising: a sampling module operably coupled to a mobile access network supporting a plurality of mobile communication devices to access data of transactions to and from the mobile communication devices, the sampling module being configured to selectively sample a portion of the data of the transactions such that less than all the data of the transactions is sampled; and an extract, transform and load (ETL) module operably coupled to the sampling module to execute an ETL process on the data of the transactions that has been sampled by the sampling module to produce output data of sampled transactions, the ETL module being configured to store the output data of the sampled transactions in a warehouse database, wherein operations of at least one of the sampling module and the ETL module are executed using one or more processors, wherein the sampling module is configured to sample data of M transactions out of N transactions that are accessed by the sampling module, where M and N are positive integers and M is smaller than N, and wherein the sampling module is configured to generate M random index numbers to select the M transactions out of the N transactions to be sampled using the M random index numbers.
