DETERMINING CONFLICTS BETWEEN KPI TARGETS IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18026920 Titled 'DETERMINING CONFLICTS BETWEEN KPI TARGETS IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer method used in a communications network. It involves obtaining Key Performance Indicator (KPI) targets for various KPIs in the network and using a graph-based machine learning process to determine relationships between these KPIs. These relationships explain how changing network configurations to affect one KPI can impact another KPI. The method also identifies conflicts between the KPI targets using these relationships.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer implemented method performed by a node in a communications network comprises obtaining Key Performance Indicator, KPI, targets for a plurality of KPIs, in the communications network, and determining relationships between the KPIs using a model trained using a graph-based machine learning process. Each relationship describes a manner in which changing a network configuration to alter a first one of the plurality of KPIs affects a second one of the plurality of KPIs. The method then comprises determining one or more conflicts between the KPI targets, using the relationships.
