FACILITATING COLLECTION OF EVENTS DETECTED BY RADIO ACCESS NETWORK COMPONENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17749081 titled 'FACILITATING COLLECTION OF EVENTS DETECTED BY RADIO ACCESS NETWORK COMPONENTS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about systems, methods, and computer-readable media for collecting operational data across multiple radio access network (RAN) components. These systems can identify data signals tracked by RAN components and define network events to be tracked by event tracking agents deployed on each RAN component. The RAN components then provide event instances to the systems for collecting, analyzing, and utilizing the network event data.

  • The technology collects operational data from multiple radio access network components.
  • It identifies data signals tracked by these components.
  • It defines network events to be tracked by event tracking agents on each component.
  • The RAN components provide event instances to the systems for analysis and utilization.

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various industries and sectors, including:

  • Telecommunications: It can be used to monitor and analyze network events in a radio access network, helping optimize network performance and troubleshoot issues.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): The technology can collect operational data from IoT devices connected to a radio access network, enabling monitoring and analysis of device behavior and network performance.
  • Smart Cities: By collecting operational data from various RAN components in a city's infrastructure, the technology can help monitor and manage different systems, such as traffic lights, surveillance cameras, and environmental sensors.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses several problems in the field of radio access networks:

  • Lack of comprehensive operational data: By collecting data from multiple RAN components, the technology provides a more complete picture of network performance and behavior.
  • Inefficient troubleshooting: The system's ability to track network events and collect event instances allows for more efficient troubleshooting and issue resolution.
  • Limited visibility into IoT device behavior: By collecting operational data from IoT devices, the technology enables better monitoring and analysis of device behavior, leading to improved performance and reliability.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for collecting operational data across a plurality of radio access network (RAN) components. For example, the systems described herein can identify data signals that are tracked by one or more RAN components. Based on these data signals, the systems can define any number of network events that may be tracked by event tracking agents that are deployed on each of the RAN component(s). The RAN components may then provide a stream of event instances to the systems for collecting, analyzing, and otherwise utilizing the network event data that is locally tracked by the respective RAN components.
