Si realmente desea hacerlo en mysql, esto debería funcionar hasta cierto punto, dependiendo de cómo desee organizar sus intervalos de 15 minutos. He dado la salida como time from | time to | number of reports porque creo que no tiene sentido e incluso es un poco engañoso generar una marca de tiempo específica y asociarle un conteo de un rango de tiempo.
SELECT CONCAT (
lpad(hours.a, 2, "0"),
":",
lpad(minutes.a * 15, 2, "0"),
":00"
) AS 'from',
CONCAT (
lpad(hours.a, 2, "0"),
":",
lpad((minutes.a * 15) + 14, 2, "0"),
":59"
) AS 'to',
count(r.id)
FROM (
SELECT 0 AS a
UNION
SELECT 1 AS a
UNION
SELECT 2 AS a
UNION
SELECT 3 AS a

SELECT 4 AS a

INNER JOIN (

LEFT JOIN reports r ON hours.a = hour(r.t)
AND minutes.a = floor(minute(r.t) / 15)
GROUP BY hours.a,
minutes.a;
