- NMS Network Management System
- NEs network elements
- the NEs send reports to the NMS indicating the performance of the reporting NE.
- the NMS is centralized with many NEs reporting to the NMS. The processing load is too great for the NMS to efficiently analyze the reported symptoms and determine the root causes of the problems.
- the present invention is an operation and maintenance control point (OMCP) in a telecommunications network having a plurality of network elements that report to the OMCP and a network management system (NMS) to which the OMCP reports.

- the present invention is a method of implementing a self- engineering telecommunications network.
- the method begins by automatically collecting information about the network's performance, detecting problems with the network's performance utilizing the collected information, and analyzing possible causes of the detected problems.
- the method continues by automatically determining suggested corrective actions to correct the causes, predicting results of executing the suggested actions, and executing the actions. This is followed by automatically comparing actual results of executing the suggested actions with the predicted results, and learning from the comparing step so that improved corrective actions are suggested when problems recur.
- the present invention is a method of performing traffic load sharing between the cells of a self-engineering cellular radio telecommunications network.

- OMCP Operation and Maintenance Control Point
- FIG.2 aNetwork Management System
- NMS 21 is connected via an open interface to two OMCPs, OMCP-1 and OMCP-2 22 and 23.
- OMCP-1 is connected via high speed, reliable interfaces to a plurality of NEs (NE, through NE N ) 24.
- OMCP-2 is also connected via high speed, reliable interfaces to a plurality of NEs (NE, through NE N ) 25.
- OMCPs may be centralized or distributed, depending on the size of the network. In general, rather than just sending symptoms to the NMS 21, the OMCP sends suggested corrective actions.
- FIG. 3 is a simplified block diagram illustrating the flow of information in a self-engineering telecommunications network in which the OMCP 31 of the present invention has been implemented.
- a self-engineering network is a network which automatically collects information about its performance, detects problems, analyzes the possible causes of the problems, determines suggested corrective actions, predicts the results of executing the actions, executes the actions, compares the actual results with the predicted results, and learns from the experience so that improved corrective actions are suggested the next time.
- the network includes the NMS 21, the OMCP 31, and a NE 32 (MSC).
- the NE has raw data 33 (for example, a card or a line in a base station 30 is defective) which needs to be reported to the NMS so that the network can be properly and efficiently managed.
- Raw data may come from traffic data 34 or exchange data 35, and may include, for example, exchange and cell configuration and performance data. In most NEs, approximately seven days of time- stamped data are stored.
- the NE performs preprocessing to compress the data and sort it according to logical groups. Approximately 120 days of preprocessed data may be stored in order to enable accurate trend calculations to be performed. The preprocessed data is then sent to the OMCP 31 over the high speed interface.
- the OMCP 31 uses the PQSM function to monitor performance and QoS in the network. Performance thresholds are defined (manually and/or automatically), and performance is presented to assess the current situation and current utilization level in the network. QoS may be monitored for specified cases such as handoffs and call setups.
- the PQSM function 36 determines whether there is a problem with the QoS. If there is no degradation in the QoS exceeding any threshold, the data is passed directly from the PQSM function to an Action Proposal Agent (APA) 38. If there is QoS degradation, the PQSM function sends the data to the TS 37. The TS performs calculations to detect the cause of the degradation in the QoS. In addition to the input from the performance monitoring function, the TS considers the configuration of the system, all of the current performance measurements, trend calculations, and fault states.
- the OMCP interfaces with external systems 43 utilizing various transport networks such as PDH, SS7, etc. The external systems also provide input to the APA to assist in determining faults and corrective actions.
- the suspected cause of the QoS degradation is then sent from the TS 37 to the APA 38.
- the APA analyzes the suspected cause of the problem, and determines suggested corrective actions which are then sent to the NMS 21.
- the suggested corrective actions may include, but are not limited to proposals for:
- - Link performance e.g., more/fewer links needed
- - Cell performance e.g., change parameter settings, change frequencies
- Hardware performance e.g., more hardware needed, efficiency of hardware utilization, hardware out of order
- the NMS may run multiple simulations to predict what the results would be if the suggested corrective actions are executed in the network. If the NMS's predictions are unacceptable, feedback is sent to the APA 38 which modifies its suggested corrective actions based on the feedback from the NMS.
- the suggested corrective actions are then executed by an execution function 41 , either manually or automatically. Areas suitable for automatic execution include frequency reallocations, temporary traffic load sharing, etc.
- a feedback function 42 in the NMS 21 then sends feedback to the APA 38 in the OMCP 31 regarding the actual results of executing the suggested corrective actions.
- the feedback includes trend analyses and a comparison of before and after results, both in the changed area and for total system performance. If the results are not acceptable, the APA 38 may send additional suggested corrective actions to the NMS 21, utilizing the experience acquired from the results of the first actions. If the problem is corrected, then the OMCP passes NE reports directly to the NMS since no corrective action is required.
- FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating the steps involved in a method of performing traffic load sharing in the self-engineering telecommunications network of FIG. 3.
- traffic measurements from all cells is collected as raw data by the NE 32.
- the data is compressed and sorted into logical groups to facilitate performance monitoring and analysis.
- the preprocessed data is then sent to the OMCP 31 over a high speed interface.
- Data related to system performance and quality of service is analyzed at 47 in the PQSM function 36.
- the PQSM function utilizes performance "gauges" such as voice channel utilization, paging load, and registration load in each cell to determine whether any adverse loading is due to excess paging, registrations, or other causes.
- the TS 37 analyzes the data to detect whether there is a fault, and to identify the fault if one is detected.
- the results of the analyses at steps 47 and 48 are sent to the APA 38 where possible corrective actions are determined at step 49.
- the possible corrective actions may include changing hysteresis values to temporarily change cell sizes and to shift the traffic load from heavily loaded cells to more lightly loaded cells, changing the capacity of various cells, or changing other cell parameters.
- the APA also analyzes long term trends to determine whether more capacity is needed in some cells.
- the APA then suggests corrective actions to the NMS 21.
- the NMS utilizes its simulation programs to predict what the results would be if the suggested corrective actions are executed.
- the simulations predict, for example, the resulting traffic in each cell, the impact on the interference level in the network, and the impact on mobile station signal strength level. If the NMS's predictions are unacceptable, feedback is sent to the APA 38 which modifies its suggested corrective actions based on the feedback from the NMS. If the NMS's predictions are acceptable, the suggested corrective actions are then executed either manually or automatically at step 51.
- the NMS collects reports from the NEs and analyzes them to determine what the actual results of the corrective actions were. The actual results are fed back to the APA at step 52 to continuously improve the proposed actions.
- the self-engineering system may change cell sizes automatically in order to shift traffic load and eliminate problems in the network.
- This process includes automatically changing the hysteresis values affecting where handoffs and cell reselections occur, and automatically adjusting transmitter power in the base station to increase or decrease the cell size.
- this has been a manual task performed by the system operator based on operator experience.
- FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating the steps involved in a method of configuring and testing the installation of new or changed hardware, such as a new piece of base station equipment, in the self-engineering telecommunications network of FIG. 3.
- the new equipment When new base station equipment is installed in a cell site at 55, the new equipment is detected by the MSC 32. An event is generated at 56 indicating the type of hardware installed and its predefined usage, in this case hardware for a base station. Based on the hardware type and its predefined usage, the hardware is loaded and configured with predefined default parameters at 57. Knowledge that a new piece of equipment has been installed is then reported to the OMCP.
- the MSC 32 collects raw exchange data and traffic data, and then preprocesses the raw data at 59. The preprocessed data is then passed to the OMCP
- the OMCP monitors the performance of the new equipment and the QoS in the network in accordance with predefined standards at steps 60 and 61, respectively. If the new equipment fails, the TS begins fault analysis at 62 to determine the cause of the failure. The cause is reported through the APA to the NMS 21 for corrective action at 63. If the equipment is working properly, and the problem is corrected, the
- the NMS then predicts the results of a properly working piece of equipment at 64, and then uses the equipment in traffic processing at 65.
- the actual results are compared with the predicted results at 66, and the results are fed back to the APA. If the results are good, the NMS may then close down any open work order for the installation of the new piece of hardware.
- FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating the steps involved in a method of analyzing a reported fault in the self-engineering telecommunications network of FIG.3. At step
- the raw exchange and traffic data collected by the NE 32 indicates a fault event (alarm) from a hardware or software device.
- the event is filtered and/or correlated in the NE to determine whether it has been previously discovered and reported. If the event is new, the event is sent to the OMCP 31.
- performance monitoring may indicate a fault at step 73.
- the performance data is analyzed for quality of service at 74, and if a predefined threshold is crossed, an event may be generated indicating that levels of expected QoS have not been reached.
- the TS analyzes the data at 75 and pin-points a root cause.
- the TS may be triggered to perform its analysis as a result of continuous monitoring, or as a result of a direct request by the APA.
- the root cause is then sent to the APA.
- the NMS utilizes its simulation programs to predict what the results would be if the suggested corrective actions are implemented. If the NMS's predictions are unacceptable, feedback is sent to the APA which modifies its suggested corrective actions based on the feedback from the NMS. If the NMS's predictions are acceptable, the suggested corrective actions are then executed either manually or automatically at step 78. The NMS then collects reports from the NEs and analyzes them to determine what the actual results of the corrective actions were. The actual results are fed back to the APA at step 79 to continuously improve the proposed corrective actions.
