CELL SITE CAPACITY AND CONGESTION DETECTION FOR OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS

Abstract: an example process may collect performance data from a cell site of an open radio access network (ran) in an area of interest (aoi). the cell site may include sectors and the sectors comprising cells. busy-hour indicators may be determined based on the performance data from the cell site. the busy-hour indicators may be determined by applying a percentile method to outliers in the performance data. a subscriber growth model in the aoi can be forecast for a forecast period. the busy-hour indicators can be extrapolated using the subscriber growth model to generate forecast indicators for the forecast period. a gain function can be applied to the forecast indicators to generate revised forecast indicators. a capacity breach at a cell or a sector of the cell site in the aoi can be detected in response to an indicator from the revised forecast indicators exceeding a capacity threshold.
