Abstract:
Mobile communication networks have grown and the supporting technology is increasingly complicated. Operating a cellular mobile network system is challenging and requires expert effort. The requirements to improve efficiency and to reduce the operating expenses demand the cellular network operators to apply automated solutions in performance management of the network systems. Experts at operators’ network management centre must analyze large amounts of data. They spend most of their time doing routine tasks, such as data acquisition, filtering and repetitive decisions. This paper presents an information summarization method to support the experts in decision-making and to reduce the effort needed to analyze large amounts of data. Furthermore, we expect the method to improve the decisions as human errors are reduced. The method was tested by applying it to a data set from a commercial GSM mobile network.
