  • Patent number: 9826412
    Abstract: Key performance indicators for self-organizing networks are dynamically updated and/or selected. A method includes evaluating a network condition, ranking key performance indicators (KPIs) based on the network condition resulting in ranking information, and determining weights of executing sets of instructions. The determining is based on the ranking and an association between the executing sets of instructions and the KPIs associated with the ranking information. Another method includes evaluating a network condition, and changing a value of a target of a KPI from a first value to a second value based on a change in the network condition from a first network condition to a second network condition. Another method includes evaluating a network condition, determining weighting factors for respective KPIs, wherein the weighting factors are based on evaluation of the network condition, and generating composite KPI information based, at least, on applying the weighting factors to the respective KPIs.
