Method for evaluating effect of change in communications network
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11877170B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for evaluating the effect of a change in a communications network. The method involves receiving two sets of performance indicator values measured before and after the change, comparing them to assess the impact of the change, determining a performance threshold based on the values before the change, calculating performance ratio values, and providing an 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 specific thresholds, and selecting comparison periods based on network conditions like throughput, user load, or traffic volume. The patent also extends to an apparatus with a processor and memory configured to perform the method, as well as a computer program with executable code to enable the evaluation process. Overall, the patent aims to provide a systematic approach to assess network changes, optimize performance, address capacity issues, and solve performance problems in communication networks, particularly focusing on power-saving actions and various network optimization strategies.
