Solution Overview

Problem

Current telecommunications infrastructure management systems lack the ability to dynamically identify device issues and recommend corrective actions, such as adding or reconfiguring servers, in real-time, leading to inefficiencies and potential downtime in high-user concentration areas.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of machine learning techniques to analyze telecommunications infrastructure data, predict hardware failures, and suggest remedial actions, including adding or reconfiguring servers, using configuration templates generated from historical data and real-time metrics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If current manual management approaches are used for telecommunications infrastructure devices, then device issues can be detected, but the ability to dynamically identify issues and recommend corrective actions in real-time is insufficient, leading to system downtime

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem availabilityVSAvoidsystem downtime
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning model performs preliminary analysis of device data to predict potential failures before they occur. The system proactively identifies devices that may experience issues and recommends corrective actions in advance, preventing downtime before it happens rather than reacting after failures occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously collects device data, analyzes it through machine learning models, and uses the results to generate real-time recommendations. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to changing device states and provide timely corrective actions, reducing overall system downtime through iterative improvement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If machine learning techniques are implemented to dynamically identify device issues and recommend remedial actions, then system reliability and response time improve, but device complexity and implementation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinfrastructure management efficiencyVSAvoidmanagement system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The machine learning model serves as an intermediary between raw device data and actionable insights. It processes complex multi-source device data and transforms it into simplified, interpretable recommendations that infrastructure managers can easily understand and implement, bridging the gap between complex data and simple actions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service management by automatically analyzing device data and generating remedial recommendations without requiring deep expert intervention. The machine learning model performs the complex analysis work autonomously, allowing infrastructure teams to focus on implementation rather than diagnosis, thereby improving productivity while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method comprises receiving telecommunications infrastructure data corresponding to a plurality of devices, determining at least one issue with at least one device of the devices based at least in part on the telecommunications infrastructure data, and identifying at least one remedial action to be performed to address the at least one issue. The identifying is performed using one or more machine learning techniques and the at least one remedial action comprises at least one of adding at least one additional device to the plurality of devices and reconfiguring the at least one device. One or more configuration templates are retrieved and inputted to at least one of the at least one additional device and the at least one device based at least in part on the at least one remedial action. A report including the at least one issue and the at least one remedial action is generated.
