AI summary

A threshold optimization method for a communication system is provided. The method includes the following. In response to a start of a collection phase, following operations are performed at a preset time interval. A real-time value of each of multiple observation variables of the communication system are collected to obtain a set of collection data. When the real-time value of each of the multiple observation variables falls within a corresponding valid range, the communication system is controlled to perform a preset operation and a value of a key performance indicator of performing the preset operation by the communication system is acquired. The set of collection data is marked according to the value of the KPI. In response to an end of the collection phase, a judgment threshold configured for each of at least one of the multiple observation variables is adjusted according to marked collection data obtained in the collection phase. Embodiments of the disclosure further provide a threshold optimization device for a communication system and a computer-readable medium.
