Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of 5G communication network optimization, and more particularly to a machine learning-based intelligent identification and optimization system for VoNR high packet loss cells. Background Technology
[0002] With the accelerated global commercialization of 5G, VoNR (Voice over New Radio), as the native voice technology of 5G networks, is gradually replacing VoLTE as the mainstream voice transmission method. Internationally, major telecommunications equipment vendors such as Ericsson and Nokia have conducted research on VoNR voice quality assurance, while operators such as Verizon and NTT Docomo have already implemented commercial VoNR deployments and are continuously optimizing their networks.
[0003] In China, although the three major operators have completed the deployment of VoNR in some cities, the VoNR network still faces key performance problems in actual operation, such as low call connection rate, high call drop rate, and excessive packet loss rate, due to the limitations of the current 5G network NSA networking architecture, SA scheduling strategy adaptation issues, and insufficient NR coverage. These problems are particularly prominent in high packet loss scenarios, weak coverage areas, and handover boundary areas, which seriously affect the voice service experience of 5G users.
[0004] Traditional VoNR network optimization methods mainly rely on the experience and judgment of network optimization experts and fixed threshold screening. This approach has obvious limitations: on the one hand, it is difficult to adapt to the complex and ever-changing topology and dynamic operating scenarios of 5G networks, and cannot cope with the surge in data volume brought about by the expansion of network scale; on the other hand, manual analysis is inefficient and highly subjective, making it difficult to accurately identify and optimize high packet loss cells in real time, resulting in unstable optimization effects and high operation and maintenance costs.
[0005] To address this, while domestic research institutions and operators have gradually attempted to introduce technologies such as machine learning and data mining for intelligent network optimization, existing solutions have not yet formed a complete closed-loop system from multi-source data fusion and model training optimization to strategy recommendation. They still have shortcomings in terms of cross-vendor compatibility, scenario generalization ability, and strategy interpretability.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system that can intelligently identify and accurately optimize VoNR high packet loss cells in order to solve the shortcomings of existing technologies and support the continuous improvement of 5G voice service quality. Summary of the Invention

Based on large-scale VoNR network data, the system automatically identifies cells with high packet loss risk using machine learning technology and combines this with knowledge graphs for intelligent optimization recommendations. The specific steps are as follows: 1. Data Acquisition and Preprocessing Stage By unifying the access to operator data, including but not limited to KQI / KPI performance data, MR measurement data, alarm data, neighbor cell parameter tables, and user complaint data, standardized interfaces are used for automated collection. The data preprocessing module cleans, deduplicates, fills in missing values, removes outliers, aligns time, and spatially merges the raw data to ensure data quality and analyzability, forming a unified standard data table as the basis for subsequent analysis.
[0092] First, by unifying the access of multi-source heterogeneous data from the operator's existing network, the data types include, but are not limited to: Network performance data (KQI / KPI): Wireless call success rate, call drop rate, handover success rate, number of RRC users, PRB utilization, VoNR voice downlink PDCP layer user plane packet loss rate, VoNR voice uplink PDCP layer user plane packet loss rate, etc.; network performance data graphs are shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the measurement data is as follows Figure 3As shown, the alarm data is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the neighboring cell parameters are as follows: Figure 5 As shown.
[0093] Neighbor cell parameter table: neighbor cell relationships, frequency configuration, PCI planning, etc.; User perception data: complaint records, rating feedback, etc.
[0094] Data is automatically collected through standardized interfaces, supporting batch processing, API, streaming data and other access methods.
[0095] The above data undergoes preprocessing operations such as cleaning, deduplication, missing value imputation, outlier removal, time alignment, and spatial merging to form a unified and standardized data table, ensuring data quality and the accuracy of subsequent analysis.
[0096] 2. Feature extraction and sample construction stage Based on multi-source data fusion, through statistical analysis and feature engineering methods, core feature indicators closely related to the packet loss rate of the VoNR voice PDCP layer user plane are screened, such as RSRP, SINR, BLER, PRB utilization, call connection rate, call drop rate, number of RRC users, alarm frequency, user rating, etc., to construct a training sample set. The label is set according to whether the cell belongs to the high packet loss risk, thus forming a supervised learning dataset.
[0097] Based on the preprocessed data, combined with industry experience and statistical methods, core features closely related to VoNR packet loss were identified, including: Wireless coverage parameters: RSRP, SINR, neighboring cell coverage quality; Access capabilities include: number of RRC users, PRB utilization, throughput, etc. Stability-related metrics: alarm count, abnormal events; User perception metrics: Complaint frequency, ratings; Derivative categories: volatility index, load index, alarm weight, etc.
[0098] Based on the high packet loss criteria set by the operator, all cells in the network are labeled to form a supervised learning dataset, which is divided into a training set, a validation set, and a test set (e.g., 7:2:1) as the basis for model input.
[0099] A certain operator's 5G VoNR high packet loss cell judgment criteria: A cell with either the downlink PDCP layer user plane packet loss rate or the uplink PDCP layer user plane packet loss rate > 1.5% is a VoNR high packet loss cell (precondition: "total number of downlink PDCP layer packets" > 100,000 or "total number of uplink PDCP layer packets" > 100,000; only cells that meet this condition participate in the poor quality screening).
[0100] Data is taken from the weekly or monthly granular summary table of the community, such as... Figure 6 As shown: V.9.2 requires the following rules when retrieving data: If VoNR_PDCP_LossPktUl is not empty and VoNR_PDCP_RxLossPktUl is empty, then take the value of VoNR_PDCP_LossPktUl and put it into VoNR_PDCP_RxLossPktUl; otherwise, directly take the value of VoNR_PDCP_RxLossPktUl.
[0101] 3. Model Training and Validation Phase An ensemble learning algorithm, including XGBoost and RandomForest, was employed to construct a high-packet-loss cell identification model based on the aforementioned feature data. Cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning were used to improve the model's generalization ability. Finally, the optimal model was selected and deployed on the platform, outputting a network-wide cell packet loss risk score and classification results. This model can adaptively adjust to regional differences to ensure high identification accuracy.
[0102] We selected mainstream algorithms such as XGBoost, LightGBM, and RandomForest for modeling, and compared and analyzed them to select the optimal model. The training process includes: Grid search hyperparameter tuning; Cross-validation prevents overfitting; Feature importance assessment to assist in feature optimization.
[0103] Evaluation metrics include accuracy, recall, precision, F1 score, AUC, KS score, etc., to ensure the robustness and generalization ability of the model.
[0104] Use interpretability methods such as SHAP to analyze feature contributions, aid in understanding model results, and improve transparency and traceability.
[0105] Finally, the best-performing model (e.g., XGBoost) is selected and saved in pkl / joblib format for later use.
[0106] 4. High packet loss cell screening and risk assessment stage The platform sorts all cells in the network according to their packet loss risk scores, filters out a list of cells with high packet loss risk, and supports multi-dimensional visualization (geographic heatmap, correlation matrix, trend analysis chart, etc.). Simultaneously, it automatically generates a problem attribution report by combining model output with expert experience rules, revealing the main causes of high packet loss (such as interference from neighboring cells, weak coverage, insufficient capacity, frequent handover, etc.).
[0107] Perform risk scoring (Score, 0-1) on all cells in the network, categorizing them into high, medium, and low risk based on the score. Output a list of problematic cells, including: Basic information such as cell ID, region, and frequency band; Risk scoring and key issue indicators; Problem attribution (e.g., weak coverage, insufficient capacity, severe interference, etc.).
[0108] It provides multi-dimensional visualizations (heatmaps, trend charts, distribution maps, etc.) to help wireless network engineers quickly locate problem areas and causes.
