Telecommunications KPI Clustering for Granular Local Network Predictions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current telecommunications networks lack the granularity to provide adequate indications of local area network issues, leading to suboptimal network improvements and customer satisfaction, and require tedious manual user input, consuming excessive computing resources and increasing latency.
Innovation Solution
Implementing a machine learning model that parses network KPIs into geographic area-based categories, combines them into clusters, and predicts the most influential KPIs using automated processes, reducing manual input and optimizing resource consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If network KPIs are tracked at market level, then coverage area is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network tracking system into multiple hierarchical levels: market-level aggregation for broad coverage and zip code-level granularity for precise local measurements. This segmentation allows the system to simultaneously achieve wide area monitoring while maintaining high measurement precision for specific geographic areas through automated ML-based analysis of KPI data at appropriate granularities.
2Ease of operation
If manual user input is used for network analysis, then ease of operation is improved, but productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through automated machine learning models that independently collect, process, and analyze network KPI data without requiring manual user input. The system automatically parses KPI data, applies ML algorithms to identify patterns and predict network performance, and generates insights autonomously, thereby eliminating repetitive manual operations while significantly improving analysis productivity.
3Productivity
If automated ML processing is implemented, then productivity is improved, but device complexity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary automated ML processing layer that sits between raw network KPI data and human users. This intermediary automatically performs data collection, parsing, clustering, and predictive analysis, transforming complex raw data into simplified actionable insights. The ML models act as intermediaries that handle computational complexity internally while presenting simplified results to users, thereby improving productivity without requiring users to directly manage the complexity.

AI summary
Systems and methods for making telecommunication network predictions on a granular geographic area-scale. The method can include receiving network key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with a plurality of user equipment (UEs) and then parsing the network KPIs into a plurality of geographic area-based categories corresponding to network KPIs obtained by cell towers or UEs located within a given geographic area, like a zip code. The method can further include combining the geographic area-based categories into clusters determined based on one or more similarities in the network KPIs of each, and predicting a most-influential one of the network KPIs within at least one of the clusters via a machine learning (ML) model. In response, the method can then cause an indicator to be generated at a user interface, the indicator indicating the most-influential one of the network KPIs within the at least one of the clusters.
