Coverage issue analysis and resource utilization analysis by MDA

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors configured to operate as a Management Data Analytics Service (MDAS) producer, the instructions when executed configure the one or more processors to:

• obtain, from network functions (NFs) of a managed network and service, raw network data of the managed network and service;
• obtain management data from management functions of the managed network and service;
• analyze the raw network data and the management data to:
• diagnose coverage issues impacting performance of the managed network and service, and
• form predictions of future coverage issues of impacting the performance of the managed network and service;
• provide an analytics report describing the coverage issues and predictions of future coverage issues for one of the NFs;
• and
• for each coverage issue:
• determine a root cause of the coverage issue based on a set of obtained data and provide the analytics report describing the coverage issue, the analytics report comprising an identifier of the coverage issue, an indication that the coverage issue is weak coverage or a coverage hole;
• a start time of the coverage issue;
• a geographical area and location where the coverage issue exists;
• the root cause of the coverage issue, an indication which radio access technology the coverage issue exists in;
• managed object instances (MOIs) of cells affected by the coverage issue;
• a severity level of the coverage issue;
• and at least one recommended action to solve the coverage issue, the at least one recommended action comprising at least one of re-configurations of coverage related attributes, creation of new cells or beams, or manual operations to add or change physical units that provide a coverage associated with the coverage issue.

• wherein the analytics report comprises, for each resource utilization issue:
• an identifier of the resource utilization issue, an indication that the resource utilization issue is an ongoing issue or potential issue, for each time period:
• an indication that the resource utilization issue is a shortage or excess and a percentage of resource shortage or excess, and recommended action to solve the resource utilization issue.
