TRANSMISSION CAPACITY AND CONGESTION DETECTION FOR OPEN RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS

Abstract: an example process may detect capacity breaches in an area of interest (aoi) of an open radio access network (ran). data is queried for cells in the ran network over a sampling period to retrieve hourly-traffic data for the cells. outliers may be removed from the hourly-traffic data for the cells. in the trimmed hourly-traffic data, top-download-traffic hours are identified on different days in the sampling period for each of the cells. the example process may include aggregating the trimmed hourly-traffic data for each of the cells at the top-download-traffic hours to generate busy-hour indicators for each of the cells and busy-hour indicators for sectors associated with cells. the busy-hour indicators may be extrapolated using subscriber growth in the aoi to generate forecast indicators for each of the cells and for the sectors associated with the cells. the forecast indicators are compared to capacity thresholds to forecast capacity breaches.
