Abstract
A telecommunications fault location and diagnostic system employs a remote test unit (RTU) to collect system parameter data. The RTU is operatively coupled to a trained neural network, which receives the system parameter data from the RTU. The neural network is trained using pre-screened historical fault data, which is stored in a database. Once trained, the neural network classifies the RTU data into one of a predetermined number of fault probabilities.
Claims12
A diagnostic system for locating faults within a telecommunications system, the diagnostic system comprising:
- a remote test unit, the remote test unit being operatively coupled to the telecommunications system and obtaining parametric data therefrom;
- and
- a neural network, the neural network being responsive to the parametric data from the remote test unit, classifying the parametric data to at least one of a plurality of fault locations, and generating an output signal indicative of the fault location.
A method of locating faults within a telecommunications system, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) measuring a plurality of parameters associated with the telecommunications system;
- b) normalizing the measured parameters;
- and
- c) classifying the normalized parameters as probabilities associated with a plurality of fault locations.
