12. An apparatus, comprising:
circuitry configured to receive a request, from at least one radio access network optimization service, to provide an estimate or prediction of a mobility metric for at least one user equipment or a group of user equipments or at least one cell, the request comprising attributes describing characteristics of the mobility metric;
circuitry configured to communicate with a radio access network node, via a controller platform, to request data about the at least one user equipment or the group of user equipments or the at least one cell associated with the request;
circuitry configured to receive the requested data about the at least one user equipment or the group of user equipments or the at least one cell associated with the request; and
circuitry configured to calculate the estimate or the prediction of the mobility metric using the requested data and based on the attributes received in the request from the at least one radio access network optimization service.
