我们提出的SS7盒模块化信令平台，在蜂窝移动的网络中的快速应用原型的工具，并详细研究其性能限制的应用程序的主动基于网络的跟踪，称为SS7跟踪。该应用程序是一个高度可配置的、非侵入性的和具有成本效益的解决方案，用于网络中用户移动性的大规模数据收集，独特地实现了对主动和被动移动的客户端的跟踪。我们目前的性能研究真实的部署在现有的蜂窝网络和文件的测量以及模拟的性能限制，如平台互连利用率。其他因素，如对被跟踪设备的电池消耗的影响，也进行了研究。平台的模块化和可变性将通过进一步部署的用例进行讨论和演示。最后，我们观察到未来的蜂窝网络的适用性。
We present the SS7Box modular signaling platform, a tool for rapid application prototyping in a cellular mobile network, and examine in detail its performance limits for the application of active network-based tracking, called SS7Tracker. This application is a highly configurable, non-intrusive and cost-effective solution for large-scale data collection on user mobility in the network, uniquely enabling tracking of both active and passive mobile clients. We present performance studies of real deployment in an existing cellular network and document the measured as well as simulated performance limits such as platform interconnection utilization. Other factors, such as impact on battery consumption of the tracked device, are studied as well. Platform modularity and variability is discussed and demonstrated by further deployed use cases. We conclude by observing promising applicability for future cellular networks.
