Since the beginning - since dc1d5481 (kpi: Start of the package) DRB.IPLatDl.QCI was introduced only in commented form with the following remark: # XXX mean is not good for our model # TODO mean -> total + npkt? #('DRB.IPLatDl.QCI', Ttime), # s 4.4.5.1 32.450:6.3.2 NOTE not ms The problem here is that if we introduce DRB.IPLatDl.QCI as just Ttime for average latency, and we have two measurements m1 and m2 with such DRB.IPLatDl, there is no way to know what DRB.IPLatDl should be for aggregated measurement - in the aggregated measurement the latency should be the mean time - averaged for combined periods of m1+m2, over samples of all transmision bursts. And knowing something already averaged in period1 and period2 we can compute the average for aggregated measurement only if we know both initial averages _and_ the number of samples in each period. That's what the "TODO mean -> total + npkt?" comment was about. Besides DRB.IPLatDl there are many other values that 3GPP say to be mean. For example UE.Active and other values. So there is a need to uniformly represent such averages somehow and that there is a way to also aggregate the averages for combined measurements. -> Introduce Stat type, that represents results of statistical profiling and use it for DRB.IPLatDl.QCI; Teach Calc.aggregate to handle aggregation of such statistical profiles via a₁⋅n₁ + a₂·n₂ A = ───────────── n₁ + n₂ formula.
