Intracellular Performance Distribution Imbalance Detection System

Abstract

The intra-cell performance distribution imbalance detection system is designed to evaluate the performance experiences of users connected to the same base station cell in mobile communication networks. It includes user devices that generate user-based performance data, the base station cell to which this data is transmitted, a data collection and processing unit that prepares the data for analysis, a performance distribution analysis unit that creates a distribution structure from user performance values, an imbalance detection unit that identifies imbalances by evaluating differences between users based on a specific threshold or ratio, and an alarm and monitoring interface that generates notifications by making the detection result visible to the operator. This system enables the identification of user experience differences and user groups experiencing consistently low performance that may be hidden by average performance values ​​across the cell.

Description

1 TARIFF Intracellular Performance Distribution Imbalance Detection System TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention relates to a system for detecting intracellular performance distribution imbalance. The invention, particularly in mobile communication networks, involves devices connected to the same base station cell. By evaluating user performance data together, the distribution of user experience becomes 10 by creating and identifying non-homogeneous performance states within the cell. by providing input to network monitoring, performance evaluation and resource management processes It is related. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE 15 In current mobile communication networks, cell-based performance evaluation is mostly This is done using average values ​​that represent the overall state of the cell. By monitoring metrics such as the average data rate, latency, or packet loss for a cell, the cell's performance can be assessed. Overall performance can be assessed. This approach allows for a single 20 at the cell level. Because it generates a summary value, it directly influences the distribution of user experience within the cell. not showing and different user performance patterns behind the same average value This allows for location tracking. Users connected to the same base station cell can track their location. Depending on factors such as device specifications, signal quality, and usage scenario, they may differ from one another. They may experience different performance levels. Evaluation based on average value, cell 25 While generally producing an acceptable result, certain users consistently experience lower performance. data speed makes it invisible to experience higher latency or higher packet loss. This can bring about. Therefore, the fact that the overall average of the cell appears sufficient means that the cells within the cell... This does not indicate that all users have a similar level of experience. Current approaches aim to distribute performance within the cell homogeneously among users. The lack of a mechanism to directly assess whether it has dispersed is a significant limitation. This is how it is formed. User performance metrics are considered together within the same analysis. When not taken into account, the magnitude of performance differences is such that the distribution is against a particular user group. whether it has deteriorated and whether these differences exceed a certain threshold or ratio is systematically determined. 35 This cannot be demonstrated in this way. Thus, the overall performance of the cell is at an acceptable level. Even so, user groups consistently experiencing poor user experience may not be identified. 2 Ignoring the performance distribution among users is problematic in terms of resource allocation. This also makes it difficult to reveal any imbalances that may occur. Cell some of their resources are more advantageous for some users, and less advantageous for others. consistently producing disadvantageous results based solely on average cell values When evaluated, it cannot be separated. As a result, network resources are unfairly distributed. or used in a way that systematically reduces the experience level of certain users. The possibility of this happening has become sufficiently clear within the current performance monitoring approach. It is not coming. The distribution structure of user-based experience differences in existing systems reveals 10 This inability to do so also limits the problem detection and intervention processes on the operator side. Is the poor user experience in the cell a general problem affecting all users, or a specific one? whether it stems from a local imbalance concentrated in a user group The inability to separate them makes it difficult to choose the right approach between general improvement processes and targeted interventions. This makes it difficult to perform network monitoring and performance evaluation. 15 This makes it difficult to prioritize problematic areas in the processes. Conducting performance evaluations only on a general level affects user experience. It also creates shortcomings in terms of focused quality and resource management decisions. The same cell. If user performance within the system is not evaluated together, the distribution structure will be 20. It is not possible to generate an imbalance indicator based on the imbalance at the alarm or monitoring level. It is not possible to transfer the operator's decision on improvements for the relevant cell. It becomes difficult to provide feedback based on the actual differences in user experiences. Therefore... performance distribution among users in existing network monitoring and management systems An additional layer of analysis is needed that takes this into account. 25 The shortcomings mentioned above mean that the user experience within the cell is only average. not performance data but the distribution among users is taken into consideration the evaluation of user-based performance data together within the same analytics chain processing, imbalance between users based on a certain threshold or ratio 30 evaluation in this regard and monitoring of the identified imbalance on the operator's side This makes it necessary to convert it into output. As a result of research conducted in the literature, the method and device for EP2804437B1 were identified. Patent document titled "Resource Allocation (Method and device for resource allocation)", 35 It has been observed. The document in question relates to the cell edge average data transfer rate and the system. The ratio between average data transfer speed and the cumulative distribution of user data transfer speeds. 3 a system that considers fairness among users by evaluating it through a distribution function It is related to the resource allocation approach. However, the document mentioned refers to the same base station. By evaluating the performance values ​​of users connected to the cell together, within the cell... Creating a performance distribution structure, and establishing a specific threshold or ratio based on this distribution. the performance difference between them is identified as an imbalance, and the identified imbalance is 5 No indication was found that the status was transmitted to the alarm and monitoring interface. As a result of research conducted in the literature, the code numbered US11240131B2, Systems and methods for evaluating a user experience in a network based on performance indicators (Performance 10 ways to evaluate user experience on a network based on indicators A patent document titled "(systems and methods)" was found. This document is a by processing numerous network performance indicators related to user equipment experience category scores and network experience score generation, the generated score is a threshold It involves comparing the value and performing an action based on the threshold result. However The document mentioned states that the performance of multiple users within the same cell is 15. the evaluation of values ​​together within a common distribution structure, users Comparison of performance differences between them in terms of intracellular homogeneity and an indication that the identified imbalance is transmitted to a separate alarm and monitoring interface None have been encountered. Ultimately, the problems mentioned above, which cannot be solved with current technology, are the subject of this technical analysis. This has made it necessary to make an innovation in the field.

Alarm and monitoring interface DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This detailed explanation describes the intracellular performance distribution imbalance that is the subject of the invention. The system will not only contribute to a better understanding of the subject but will also not have any limiting effects. This is explained with examples. User devices are the source from which performance data for users connected to the cell is generated. (1), base station cell (2) 25 where users connect and data transmission takes place It communicates via. User-based information received via base station cell (2) Performance data is collected and organized by the data collection and processing unit (3). and is made suitable for analysis. Prepared by the data collection and processing unit (3) Performance values ​​are analyzed by the performance distribution analysis unit (4) within the same cell. Performance distribution structure within the cell, evaluated together for users 30 is created. The distribution structure created by the performance distribution analysis unit (4), imbalance detection unit (5) is examining the performance among users; The magnitude of the differences is compared, and performance above a certain threshold or ratio is evaluated. If a difference is found, intracellular performance imbalance is determined. Imbalance detection The imbalance condition determined by the unit (5) is transmitted to the alarm and monitoring interface (6) and 35 Notifications are generated by monitoring on the operator side via the alarm and monitoring interface (6). 6 User-based performance data evaluated by the system analyzes the cell's performance. at least one of the following metrics reveals the situation: data rate, latency, or packet loss. This may include user location, device specifications, signal quality, and usage scenario. Experience levels can vary depending on differences such as those seen in other cells within the same cell. Since users' values ​​are considered together, looking only at the cell average is 5 Invisible performance differences can be made apparent within the distribution structure. Therefore, even if overall performance appears acceptable, it may indicate a problem with a specific group of users. It is possible to identify situations where the experience is consistently low. In the imbalance assessment, not only the average performance value but also the users' 10 the magnitude of the difference between them and differences above a certain threshold or ratio are taken into account This assessment reveals the distribution of performance within the cell. Situations where the performance distribution is not homogeneous are classified as imbalances. User groups experiencing poor performance can be identified, and the results of the analysis are used. It can be used by the operator to make targeted improvement decisions for the relevant cell. 15 The system adds to existing network monitoring, performance evaluation, and resource management infrastructures. It can be configured to be implemented as an analysis layer. In the operating principle of the system, the performance consists of user devices (1) connected to the cell. data collection and processing unit (3) 20 via base station cell (2) is transferred. After user-based performance data is organized for analysis. Performance distribution analysis unit (4) analyzes the performance values ​​of users in the same cell. By evaluating them together, they create the distribution structure. Based on the created distribution structure... The imbalance detection unit (5) compares the performance differences between users, differences exceeding a certain threshold or rate and user groups consistently experiencing poor experiences 25 It determines the imbalance. The detected imbalance is transmitted to the alarm and monitoring interface (6). The system is monitored by the operator, and improvement processes are initiated for the relevant cell as needed. This ensures that the user experience within the cell is not solely focused on overall performance. It is evaluated not based on its value, but by considering its distribution among users.
