Abstract:
A system can include a network analysis platform that applies performance models to determine if a coverage degradation exists at a network cell, such as at a base station. The performance models are pre-trained based on network telemetry data. For a session at a cell, an expected quality of service (“QoS”) metric can be compared to an actual QoS metric to determine whether the session is impacted by coverage degradation. Throughput is an example QoS metric. If the number of impacted sessions exceeds a threshold, the base station can be highlighted on a GUI. Additionally, the network analysis platform can perform root cause analysis of a victim cell.
