Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing wireless communication networks face challenges in identifying the root cause of performance degradation due to the variety of performance indicators and network configurations, making it difficult to determine effective counteractions for remedying anomalies.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method that analyzes channel quality indicators (CQI) to identify anomalies in cells, determines a counteraction based on common nominators such as antenna ports, radio units, or sectors, and verifies the effectiveness of the counteraction by comparing performance indicators before and after implementation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual analysis and troubleshooting of network anomalies is performed, then detailed inspection and customization is possible, but time consumption and operational complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by automatically detecting anomalies, generating diagnostic information, and providing remediation guidance without requiring manual network engineer intervention for each anomaly event
Solution Approach 2:
Manual mechanical analysis and troubleshooting processes are replaced with automated electronic systems that continuously monitor network traffic, analyze anomalies using predefined policies, and generate remediation actions automatically
2Reliability
If comprehensive network monitoring and analysis systems are deployed, then anomaly detection capability is improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring system is segmented into modular components including anomaly detection modules, policy evaluation modules, and remediation modules that can be independently configured and managed
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides multi-functionality by combining anomaly detection, diagnostic analysis, and remediation guidance into a single unified platform that handles multiple network protocols and anomaly types
3Productivity
If automated anomaly detection and remediation systems are implemented, then response time and productivity are improved, but system complexity and development cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring anomaly detection policies, diagnostic procedures, and remediation actions that are automatically executed when anomalies are detected, eliminating the need for real-time manual decision-making
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where anomaly detection results automatically trigger diagnostic analysis, which then generates remediation actions that are executed and monitored for effectiveness, creating a closed-loop automated response system

AI summary
Example embodiments relate to counteractions for remedying anomalies within a communication network. A computer-implemented method may comprise detecting an anomaly associated with at least a first cell; determining a counteraction for the first cell; identifying at least one second cell impacted by the counteraction; obtaining first performance indicator(s) the first cell and/or the at least one second cell, wherein the first performance indicator(s) are associated with a first time period before performance of the counteraction; causing performance of the counteraction at the first cell or providing an indication of the counteraction for performance of the counteraction at the first cell by a user; obtaining second performance indicator(s) associated with the first cell and/or the at least one second cell, wherein the second performance indicator(s) are associated with a second time period after performance of the counteraction; and verifying the counteraction based on first performance indicator(s) and the second performance indicator(s).
