Question: What type of information can be made available to the core network to enable efficient service rendering and accurate tariff setting when requested, as per real-time resource usage requirements?
Option 1: Serving cell type (e.g., RAT), Cell ID / UTRAN Service Area Identity, and detailed Cell / Service Area capability usage (including user identity, data transfer timestamps, and data rates)
Option 2: Only Serving cell type (e.g., RAT) and Cell ID for general network planning
Option 3: Historical data on overall network resource utilization for long-term analysis
Option 4: Real-time updates on available network capacity for incoming service requests
Explanation: To efficiently render services, dimension networks, and set accurate tariffs reflecting radio resource usage, detailed real-time information is crucial. This includes the serving cell type (identifying the Radio Access Technology), Cell ID or UTRAN Service Area Identity (for location-specific data), and comprehensive Cell / Service Area capability usage details such as user identities, data transfer start/finish times, up-link/down-link data rates, and volumes of data. This granular information supports precise resource management and billing.
