The granted patent (Publication Number: US11877170B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for evaluating the impact of changes in a communications network. The method involves receiving sets of performance indicator values measured before and after the change, comparing these sets to assess the effect of the change, determining a performance threshold based on the initial values, calculating performance ratio values, and providing output based on these ratios. Additionally, the method includes preprocessing raw performance indicator values, choosing a comparison period based on network performance metrics, and analyzing performance indicators over specific time periods.

Furthermore, the patent covers variations of the method, such as calculating and outputting the difference between performance ratios, determining ratios based on performance thresholds, selecting comparison periods based on network performance metrics like throughput or user load, and establishing performance thresholds based on various criteria. The patent also extends to an apparatus with a processor and memory configured to execute the method, as well as a computer program containing executable code to perform the evaluation process. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive framework for assessing the impact of changes in a communications network, offering a systematic approach to analyzing performance indicators and facilitating decision-making in network optimization and troubleshooting scenarios.
