Technique for Evaluation of a Parameter Adjustment in a Mobile Communications Network

摘要

This disclosure describes a technique for evaluating a parameter adjustment in a mobile communications network using a multivariate performance model that models a dependency of a performance metric for the mobile communications network on at least two parameters. A parameter is selected to be adjusted for a first network entity, where at least one second network entity is potentially affected by the parameter adjustment for the first network entity. The multivariate performance model is used to determine a change of the performance metric for the first network entity resulting from the parameter adjustment, and a change of the performance metric for the at least one second network entity resulting from the parameter adjustment for the first network entity. Then, the parameter adjustment is evaluated based on the performance metric changes for the first and second network entities.

1. A method of evaluating a parameter adjustment in a mobile communications network using a multivariate performance model, wherein the mobile communications network comprises multiple network entities and wherein the multivariate performance model is configured to model a dependency of a performance metric for the mobile communications network on at least two parameters, wherein a parameter is selected to be adjusted for a first network entity, and a second network entity is potentially affected by the parameter adjustment for the first network entity, the method comprising:
determining, using the multivariate performance model, a change of the performance metric for the first network entity, that results from the parameter adjustment; determining, using the multivariate performance model, a change of the performance metric for the second network entity, that results from the parameter adjustment for the first network entity; and evaluating the parameter adjustment based on the performance metric changes for the first network entity and the second network entity.
