Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handling location data in a mobile communications network. A network node obtains an average geographical location of a mobile device over a predetermined time period and uses the average geographical location in an area of interest in an Origin Destination matrix. The advantage of using an average geographical location over a period of time is that much less data needs to be stored compared to storing all geographical data, but the data can be reused to define new Origin Destination matrices.
