Telecommunications network performance signatures

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:
• generating a plurality of signatures, each signature being associated with a different network problem;
• assigning to each signature a plurality of performance metrics that indicate the network problem associated with the respective signature, wherein, for each signature the performance metrics are generated by two or more different types of models;
• receiving network data about a telecommunications network;
• generating the plurality of performance metrics from the network data;
• ranking the signatures according to a prioritization scheme to obtain a highest-priority signature;
• presenting the highest-priority signature;
• receiving feedback about the highest-priority signature;
• and
• updating the prioritization scheme using the feedback.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating a plurality of signatures, each signature being associated with a different network problem of a 5G telecommunications network;
• assigning to each signature a plurality of performance metrics that indicate the network problem associated with the respective signature, wherein, for each signature, the performance metrics are generated by two or more different types of models;
• receiving network data about the 5G telecommunications network;
• generating the plurality of performance metrics from the network data;
• ranking the signatures according to a prioritization scheme to obtain a highest-priority signature;
• presenting the highest-priority signature;
• receiving feedback about the highest-priority signature;
• updating the prioritization scheme using the feedback;
• and
• triggering a management action on the 5G telecommunications network in dependence on the highest-priority signature.
