Abstract:
1. A method for processing captured network traffic of an overlapping CDMA/LTE network having multiple protocols, the method comprising: receiving from an external monitoring system, one or more Long Term Evolution (LTE) messages captured from network traffic of a LTE network of an overlapping CDMA/LTE network having multiple protocols, wherein the LTE messages are from a first monitoring probe coupled to the LTE network; receiving from the external monitoring system, one or more Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) messages captured from network traffic of a CDMA network of the overlapping CDMA/LTE network, wherein the CDMA messages are from a second monitoring probe coupled to the CDMA network; identifying a LTE/CDMA mapper associated with the LTE and CDMA messages that were captured, wherein the LTE/CDMA mapper is associated with a user equipment (UE) that is capable of operating on both the LTE and CDMA networks; processing, at the external monitoring system, the LTE and CDMA messages that were captured using the LTE/CDMA mapper, wherein the LTE/CDMA mapper includes a generic database using a key-value scheme for associating together all information relevant to a session for a particular UE based on the LTE messages and the CDMA messages that were captured by the first and second monitoring probes even if no single data field is carried by all the messages that were captured by selecting a first key based upon a first parameter of the LTE messages that were captured, selecting a second key based upon a second parameter of the CDMA messages that were captured, storing the first and second keys with associated data for each LTE and CDMA message that was captured in the generic database; and associating all of the information related to a session for the UE based upon the first and second keys, so that an external monitoring system using a plurality of monitoring probes can access and process data from the overlapping CDMA/LTE network by associating information relevant to a UE in the overlapping CDMA/LTE network; serializing a data value and indexing with a key at a plurality of client; and sending from the clients the key-value to the LTE/CDMA mapper, wherein the serializing is performed differently according to a network type.
