    摘要: It is proposed a method for verifying configuration changes in a Self-Organizing Network comprising a plurality of verification areas, in which each verification areas at least one network element is installed. The method comprises observing 701 a configuration change within a verification area affecting one or more network elements; computing 702 a virtual temperature value for the affected network elements, wherein the virtual temperature value indicates a stability state of the network element; distributing 703 the computed virtual temperature value; receiving 703 the computed virtual temperature value; triggering 704 a verification mechanism 500; and evaluating 705 the virtual temperature value of the given verification area.

    摘要: There are provided measures for network objectives management. Such measures for enabling network objectives management in radio access networks exemplarily comprise receiving a key performance indicator optimization input indicative of a key performance indicator and an optimization direction of said key performance indicator, deriving at least one key performance indicator entry based on said key performance indicator optimization input, said at least one key performance indicator entry comprising at least said optimization direction of said key performance indicator and prioritized target values for said key performance indicator, storing said at least one key performance indicator entry, deciding, for a cognitive function, a target value for said key performance indicator of said prioritized target values for said key performance indicator expected to be achieved by said cognitive function, and providing said decided target value for said key performance indicator and said optimization direction of said key performance indicator to said cognitive function.

    摘要: According to an aspect, there is provided a local diagnosis system comprising means for performing the following. The local diagnosis system detects one or more anomaly events associated with a communications network. Each anomaly event defines an anomaly pattern describing a data point in a performance indicator space. Then, the local diagnosis system updates one or more local cluster models to incorporate the one or more anomaly patterns within complexity constraints. Each of the one or more local cluster models corresponds to a different diagnosis label defining a diagnosis. In response to failing according to one or more per-defined criteria to incorporate, in the updating, the one or more anomaly patterns to the one or more local cluster models, the local diagnosis system forwards at least the one or more local cluster models and one or more associated diagnosis labels to a central diagnosis system for further diagnosis.
