Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In 5G network management, the integrity of performance measurement data is often compromised, leading to inaccuracies in key performance indicators (KPIs) due to missing data, which affects the accurate reflection of system performance.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for determining and sending system performance parameters, including KPI information and confidence, where missing data is supplemented and confidence is determined to ensure accurate KPI calculation by integrating a management device that acquires, processes, and sends performance measurement data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If performance measurement data is collected from network elements in real-time, then the timeliness of system performance reflection is improved, but the integrity of the data cannot be guaranteed due to missing data from certain network elements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a management device as an intermediary between network elements and the performance management system. This management device collects performance measurement data from multiple network elements, supplements missing data using interpolation algorithms, and then sends the complete data to the performance management system, thereby resolving the contradiction between real-time data collection and data integrity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing data supplementation in advance before KPI calculation. The management device identifies missing performance measurement data and uses interpolation algorithms to supplement it before the data is used for KPI calculation, ensuring data integrity is established prior to the actual performance assessment
2Device complexity
If KPI is calculated using available performance measurement data without considering missing data, then the calculation process is simple, but the accuracy of the obtained KPI deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The management device acts as an intermediary that handles the complex task of data supplementation before KPI calculation. It uses interpolation algorithms to fill missing data gaps, then provides the supplemented data to the KPI calculation process, maintaining calculation simplicity while improving accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs data supplementation as a preliminary action before KPI calculation. By identifying and filling missing performance measurement data in advance using interpolation methods, the system ensures accurate KPI calculation without adding complexity to the actual KPI computation process
3Speed
If performance measurement data is sent at short intervals to reflect system performance in real-time, then the timeliness of performance monitoring is improved, but the likelihood of missing data from certain network elements increases
Solution Approach 1:
The management device serves as an intermediary that aggregates performance measurement data from multiple network elements at short intervals. When data is missing from certain elements, it uses interpolation algorithms to supplement the gaps, thereby maintaining both high transmission frequency and data completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data supplementation at each short interval before KPI calculation. By identifying missing data and applying interpolation algorithms in advance at each transmission interval, the system maintains real-time monitoring frequency while ensuring data completeness
