1. A method for correlating an error in a wireless network, comprising:
receiving, by a processor of a first mobile switching center, a signal from a first base station controller indicating that a wireless device wishes to switch from a first cell to a second cell, wherein the first mobile switching center provides a first command to the first base station controller to drop a call of the wireless device and provides a second command to set up a second base station controller associated with a second mobile switching center; initiating, by the processor, a communication with the second mobile switching center; monitoring, by the processor, a series of control messages exchanged between the first mobile switching center and the second mobile switching center in the wireless network, the series of control messages relating to a handoff of the wireless device being served by the wireless network; logging, by the processor, the error detected during an exchange of the series of control messages, wherein the error results in the call of the wireless device being dropped during the handoff, wherein the logging comprises recording a time of the error and recording a control message associated with the error; correlating, by the processor, the error with a previous error detected during a previous exchange of a previous series of control messages that resulted in another call being dropped during another handoff, wherein the correlating identifies a source of repeated errors; and triggering, by the processor, an alarm when the correlating results in a predefined error threshold being met, wherein the triggering comprises notifying a network administrator that the predefined error threshold has been met. |
