Abstract
There are provided mechanisms for handling network performance degradation in a communications system. A method is performed by a wireless device. The method comprises detecting occurrence of a KPI event associated with a first radio access network node. The method comprises reporting the KPI event to an OSS entity via a second radio access network node.
Claims23
A method for handling network performance degradation in a communications system, the method being performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
- detecting occurrence of a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) event associated with a first radio access network node;
- and
- reporting the KPI event to an Operations Support System (OSS) entity via a second radio access network node.
A method for handling network performance degradation in a communications system, the method being performed by an Operations Support System (OSS) entity, the method comprising:
- obtaining a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) report from a wireless device via a second radio access network node, wherein the KPI report pertains to occurrence of a KPI event as detected by the wireless device associated with a first radio access network node;
- and
- initiating auto-healing of the first radio access network node based on the KPI report, wherein said initiating is triggered by having obtained the KPI report.
A method for handling network performance degradation in a communications system, the method being performed by a radio access network node, wherein the radio access network node is configured for time scheduled Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reporting, the method comprising:
- obtaining an indication of a KPI event;
- and
- reporting the KPI event to an Operations Support System (OSS) entity independently from said time scheduled KPI reporting.
A wireless device for handling network performance degradation in a communications system, the wireless device comprising processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being configured to cause the wireless device to:
- detect occurrence of a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) event associated with a first radio access network node;
- and
- report the KPI event to an Operations Support System (OSS) entity via a second radio access network node.
An Operations Support System (OSS) entity for handling network performance degradation in a communications system, the OSS entity comprising processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being configured to cause the OSS entity to:
- obtain a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) report from a wireless device via a second radio access network node, wherein the KPI report pertains to occurrence of a KPI event as detected by the wireless device associated with a first radio access network node;
- and
- initiate auto-healing of the first radio access network node based on the KPI report, wherein said initiating is triggered by having obtained the KPI report.
A radio access network node for handling network performance degradation in a communications system, wherein the radio access network node is configured for time scheduled Key Performance Indicator (KPI) reporting, the radio access network node comprising processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being configured to cause the radio access network node to:
- obtain an indication of a KPI event;
- and
- report the KPI event to an Operations Support System (OSS) entity independently from said time scheduled KPI reporting.
