System, method, and computer program for determining a network situation in a communication network

A device, comprising:

• a non-transitory memory storing instructions;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:
• determine a classifier for an unwanted situation of a communication network, wherein the classifier is a particular sequence of parameter values that predict that the unwanted situation of the communication network will occur within a defined period of time;
• obtain log data of the communication network from at least one of a plurality of network entities, the log data containing a measured value of at least one operational parameter of the communication network;
• compare the measured value of the at least one operational parameter with the classifier;
• determine that the measured value of the at least one operational parameter corresponds with the classifier to form a detection of the unwanted situation of the communication network;
• determine a probability that the unwanted situation of the communication network will occur within the defined period of time;
• and
• reconfigure the communication network, based on the probability that the unwanted situation of the communication network will occur within the defined period of time.

A computer program product comprising computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed by a processor instruct the processor to:

• determine a classifier for an unwanted situation of a communication network, wherein the classifier is a particular sequence of parameter values that predict that the unwanted situation of the communication network will occur within a defined period of time;
• obtain log data of the communication network from at least one of a plurality of network entities, the log data containing a measured value of at least one operational parameter of the communication network;
• compare the measured value of the at least one operational parameter with the classifier;
• determine that the measured value of the at least one operational parameter corresponds with the classifier to form a detection of the unwanted situation of the communication network;
• determine a probability that the unwanted situation of the communication network will occur within the defined period of time;
• and
• reconfigure the communication network, based on the probability that the unwanted situation of the communication network will occur within the defined period of time.
