A
system for detecting service interruptions in a cable
broadband network using
telemetry-based
anomaly detection, wherein the
system comprises the following: a
telemetry acquisition unit configured to acquire multi-parameter
telemetry data from heterogeneous
broadband infrastructure elements, including cable modems, amplifiers, optical nodes and
cable modem termination systems (CMTS), wherein the telemetry data includes the
signal-to-
noise ratio, modulation
error ratio,
forward error correction counter, power levels and latency statistics; a preprocessing and
harmonization module that is operationally coupled with the telemetry acquisition unit, wherein the module is configured to normalize heterogeneous telemetry streams by adjusting sampling rates,
synchronizing timestamps, interpolating
missing data, and filtering out false outliers; an
anomaly detection unit that is communicatively connected to the preprocessing and
harmonization module, wherein the unit comprises a
hybrid detection framework with statistical prediction models and
machine learning models, wherein the statistical prediction models include ARIMA or Holt-Winters models to predict the expected telemetry behavior and the
machine learning models include recurrent neural networks and autoencoders trained on historical telemetry; an ensemble evaluation subsystem within the
anomaly detection unit, configured to combine the outputs of the statistical prediction models and the
machine learning models to generate anomaly probability evaluations with adaptive confidence intervals; an interruption classification module configured to receive anomaly probability values and correlate anomalies across multiple devices, geographic clusters, and
time windows, wherein the interruption classification module differentiates between transient anomalies and service-impairing interruptions based on a multidimensional correlation; and an alerting interface configured to transmit outage alerts with severity,
root cause metadata, and
geolocation to a
network management system so that the operator can intervene.
