摘要: A Quality of Service (QoS) improvement system and method for transport network fault detection and QoS improvement so that a telecommunication network service provider can analyze the root cause on chronic performance issues and recommend potential solutions is disclosed. The system runs performance analysis on each AAV (mobile backhaul) or other transport networks and collects performance related metrics data. The system then selects a subset of the data related to certain key performance indicators (KPIs), such as latency, jitter, packet loss ratio, and availability. On this subset of KPI-related data, the system applies clustering techniques to identify clusters with similar performance issues. For each cluster, the system binds the AAV performance KPI data with one or more of the following site features—health, location, vendor, market, service type, etc.—to create a cluster map. The system can then generate inferences on root causes of the performance issues.

摘要: For a cluster of cellular communication sites, the power consumption and data load of each site is measured over multiple time periods to determine an energy factor indicating the degree by which the power consumption of each site increases with increasing data load. The energy factors are then analyzed to determine coverage area sizes for the communications sites that will serve a given area while taking advantage of more efficient site to reduce overall power consumption of the cluster of sites. Transmission power levels are then adjusted at the sites to achieve these coverage area sizes.

摘要: Systems and methods for designing cellular backhaul networks are disclosed. The system can include an Adaptive Graph Minimum Spanning Tree (AG-MST) algorithm to identify and connect stranded cellular sites at minimum cost. The system can compare pending bids for new connections such as, for example, new microwave or fiber optic links at stranded sites to provide new connectivity. The system can design a network that connects the maximum number of stranded sites at the minimum average cost per site.

摘要: Methods and computing systems for determining a committed information rate for a plurality of cell sites are described. Data associated with throughput of combined voice and data traffic communicated between a core network and the plurality of cellular sites is received. An oversubscription ratio for the committed information rate is determined based on a predetermined service outage threshold and a plurality of peak throughput values of the combined voice and data traffic over a plurality of time periods. An oversubscribed committed information rate for the plurality of cellular sites is determined based on the oversubscription ratio.

摘要: Methods and computing systems for tunneling in a carrier transport network are described. An Internet Protocol (IP) packet having a destination IP address of a destination cellular site of a cellular cluster is received. A frame is formed with the IP packet placed into a payload portion of the frame. An outer Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) tag that identifies a network of the cellular cluster to a first carrier network is added to the frame, and an inner VLAN tag that identifies the network of the cellular cluster to a second carrier is added. The first carrier network and the second carrier network are coupled via at least one network-to-network interface. The frame, including the IP packet, is forwarded to a provider edge switch of the first carrier network.

摘要: A mobile carrier may selectively offload backhaul data traffic between cell sites and the core network to existing alternative relay networks to increase available backhaul bandwidth to meet higher data traffic demands without adding additional network ‘infrastructure. Data traffic may be offloaded from a cellular network to the alternative relay network based on at least one of a bandwidth capacity of the alternative relay network, a bandwidth availability of the alternative relay network, or a data class of the data. The amount of data that is offloaded to the alternative relay network may then be adjusted based on a blocking probability that is calculated for the alternative relay network.

摘要: A provider equipment having a backhaul resiliency module operable to determine multiple, alternative communication paths in a backhaul portion of a telecommunication network and then compare the different, alternative communication paths, based on their respective backhaul component reuse, to identify one or more resilient communication paths as options for a particular backhaul communication. The provider equipment can then select a preferred resilient communication path for either an uplink or a downlink of the backhaul network. Each of the alternative communication paths can correspond to a unique combination of Carrier Ethernet nodes and links that connect pairs of provider equipment devices located on opposing sides of a Carrier Ethernet, such as on a RAN side, an MSO side, or another Network side of the telecommunication network).

摘要: A wireless communication network provides various services to its subscribers. Techniques and architecture described herein allow performance measuring and monitoring of the wireless communication network and developing a prediction model for predicting causes of faults within the wireless communication network. Such techniques allow for gathering of key performance indicator (KPI) performance measurements between points within the wireless communication network. The performance measurements can include evaluating nodes, links, subnetworks, etc., within the wireless communication network. Based upon the performance measurements and historical data, a prediction model can be developed that can be used to predict a likely possible cause of a future fault within the wireless communication network.
