Publication number: 20160014622Abstract: To efficiently mitigate cell coverage disruptions caused by either unplanned equipment failures or planned outages during maintenance activities, an efficient cell site outage mitigation system is provided to calculate an optimal configuration for neighboring cell site devices before adjusting the cell site configuration settings to cover the coverage gap. The optimal configuration is determined using an offline model learner. Radio frequency propagation models and user demand and distribution models can be used to determine the offline solution. The optimal configuration setting learnt using an offline model is then implemented when an outage is determined to have occurred in the operational field.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2015Publication date: January 14, 2016Inventors: Ajay Mahimkar, Ioannis Broustis, Zihui Ge, Sarat Puthenpura, Leonid Razoumov, Aman M.

Patent number: 8774023Abstract: A system and method are provided for identifying a change point in a set of data. The system performs the method by receiving a set of data. The data indicates a plurality of performance measurements from a measurement point in a network. Each of the plurality of measurements represents a single type of performance measurement made at the measurement point at each of a corresponding plurality of points in time. The method also includes dividing the set of data into a plurality of data points in a chronological order. Each data point has a value corresponding to the performance measurements. The method also includes ranking the data points in an ascending order, calculating a cumulative sum for each of the data points, calculating a change score for the set of data points. A change point is identified in the data set if the change score exceeds a predetermined confidence level.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2010Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, LPInventors: Jia Wang, Zihui Ge, Ajay Mahimkar, Aman Shaikh, Jennifer Yates, Yin Zhang, Joanne Emmons
