Managing a telecommunications network requires collecting and processing a large amount of data from the base stations. The current method used by the infrastructure providers is hierarchical and it has significant performance problems. As the amount of traffic within telecommunications networks is expected to continue increasing rapidly in the foreseeable future, these performance problems will become more and more severe. This thesis outlines a distributed publish/subscribe solution that is designed to replace the current method used by the infrastructure providers.
In this thesis, we propose an intermediate layer between the base stations and the network management applications which will be built on top of Apache Kafka. The solution will be qualitatively evaluated from different aspects.
