DETECTING AN ANOMALY EVENT IN LOW DIMENSIONAL SPACENETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18060753 titled 'DETECTING AN ANOMALY EVENT IN LOW DIMENSIONAL SPACENETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems and methods for reducing a number of performance metrics generated by network functions to a number of reduced dimension metrics, which can be used to detect anomalous behavior and generate a warning signal of the detected anomalous behavior. The disclosed systems and methods transform raw performance metrics in a high dimensionality space to a reduced number of metrics in a lower dimensionality space through dimensionality reduction techniques. Anomalous behavior in network performance is detected in the high dimensionality space using the reduced dimension metrics. The systems and methods convert the reduced dimension metrics back to the high dimensionality space, allowing the performance metrics from network functions to be utilized to understand and address potential problems in the network.

  • Systems and methods for reducing performance metrics to detect anomalous behavior in network functions

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are provided for reducing a number of performance metrics generated by network functions to a number of reduced dimension metrics, which can be used to detect anomalous behavior and generate a warning signal of the detected anomalous behavior. The disclosed systems and methods transform raw performance metrics in a high dimensionality space to a reduced number of metrics in a lower dimensionality space through dimensionality reduction techniques. Anomalous behavior in network performance is detected in the high dimensionality space using the reduced dimension metrics. The systems and methods disclosed herein convert the reduced dimension metrics back to the high dimensionality space, such that the performance metrics from network functions can be utilized to understand and address potential problems in the network.
