Abstract
This disclosure provides a method and system that isolate non-seasonal components of network measurements from the seasonal components and compare the non-seasonal components to determine cause and effect relationships between various network nodes, to determine whether an event at a first node is experienced at a second node, and/or to characterize and localize a source of interference.
Claims13
A method for a wireless telecommunications network, the method comprising:
- receiving first event measurements of a first event that were measured at a first node of a wireless communication network over a time interval, wherein the first event is caused by non-cellular interference;
- receiving second event measurements of a second event that were measured at a second node of the wireless communication network over the time interval;
- removing seasonal components from the first event measurements to create first non-seasonal event data;
- removing seasonal components from the second event measurements to create second non-seasonal event data;
- comparing the first non-seasonal event data with the second non-seasonal event data to determine whether the first event measured by the first node correlates with the second event measured at the second node;
- determining which cells are affected by the non-cellular interference;
- and
- using data for the affected cells to locate a source of the non-cellular interference.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium with computer-executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, perform the following operations:
- accessing first event measurements of a first event that were measured at a first node of a wireless communication network over a time interval, wherein the first event is caused by non-cellular interference;
- accessing second event measurements of a second event that were measured at a second node of the wireless communication network over the time interval;
- removing seasonal components from the first event measurements to create first non-seasonal event data;
