Abstract

A method and arrangement for providing information on a social rank of a first user (A) within a plurality of users (302) in a telecommunication network. A data receiver (300a) in a ranking manager (300) receives transaction data referring to communication events involving said users, and identifies a cluster of socially related users with the first user, based on the transaction data. A data analyzer (300b) in the ranking manager (300) determines relation metrics for the users in the cluster based on the transaction data. The relation metrics indicate an extent of aggregated outgoing events of the users in the cluster. A ranking calculator (300c) in the ranking manager (300) then calculates the social rank of the first user in multiple iterations based on relation metrics of aggregated outgoing events from the first user, and further based on social ranks calculated in a preceding iteration for other users in the cluster, until the social rank of the first user is stabilized. The resulting social rank of the first user can then be provided to one or more service providers (310).
