Abstract: A system and method for determining a quality of experience (QoE) requirement for an application accessing a CSP network is described. When the application is executed on a mobile device, a message is communicated from the mobile application to a QoE network appliance. The message is associated with a QoE requirement for latency, bandwidth, and packet loss rate. A radio access network (RAN) data set and a core network (CN) data set that includes a network data analytics function (NWDAF) data set is identified and communicated to the QoE network appliance which associates the RAN data set, the CN data set, and the NWDAF data with the requirements for said latency, bandwidth, and packet loss rate, and generates a measured QoE Score.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring quality of experience (QoE) satisfaction for an application accessing a CSP network is described. A QoE requirement is associated with an application executed on a mobile device that is communicatively coupled to a CSP network. The QoE requirement for the application includes a QoE latency requirement, a QoE bandwidth requirement, and a QoE packet loss rate requirement. An edge-collection module gathers a radio access network (RAN) data set, and a core network (CN) data set that includes a network data analytics function (NWDAF) data set. The QoE network appliance generates a measured QoE score with the RAN data set, the CN data set, and the NWDAF data set. The measured QoE score is associated with the latency measurement, the bandwidth measurement, and the packet loss rate measurement. A subscriber ID is billed when a charging function determines the measured QoE satisfies the QoE requirement.

Abstract: A method provides telecom operators a single Quality of Experience (QoE) index to collectively interpret service experience and network experience by way of ensemble of expectation scores. The method includes the steps of mapping Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of time-series data into multiple probability spaces of statistical expectation functions thereby producing time-series expectation scores; applying vector geometry to said time-series expectation scores for each of said statistical expectation functions thereby producing an N-Dimensional probability vector; normalizing correlations of said N-Dimensional probability vector across said KPIs thereby producing a normalized N-Dimensional probability vector; and generating a N-Dimensional probability distribution from the normalized N-Dimensional probability vector to produce an ensemble function. The ensemble function is then be applied to time-series data thereby producing an ensemble index, which represents the QoE (Quality of Experience).

Abstract: Event management system and method. Events comprise physical and logical attributes. Tuples are created to identify a set of logical attributes. The tuples are arranged in hierarchized relations by creating binarized co-occurrence matrices, each co-occurrence matrix reflecting different time intervals and indicate occurrence of tuples in time windows of the time intervals. Tuple pairs are analyzed to determine probabilistic score related to co-occurrence, and tuple families are created from tuple pairs based on the probabilistic score. From tuple families, events are used to extract tuple instances including physical attributes, which are arranged as tuple-instance families using the corresponding tuple families as reference.

Abstract: A system and method for resolving an unsatisfactory quality of experience (QoE) for an application executed on a wireless device that accesses a CSP network is described. A QoE network appliance generates an integrated event stream that includes a RAN data set, a CN data set, a NWDAF data set, a QoE latency measurement, a QoE bandwidth measurement, and a QoE packet loss rate measurement. A measured QoE score is generated with the RAN data set, the CN data set, and the NWDAF data set. The measured QoE score is associated with a QoE latency measurement, a QoE bandwidth measurement, and a QoE packet loss rate measurement. A robotics process automation (RPA) module receives the integrated event stream when the measured QoE score fails to satisfy the QoE requirement. The RPA module performs one or more automated actions to improve the measured QoE based on information from the integrated event stream.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems for diagnosing network anomalies and allocating repair resources in a computer network receive network anomaly reports (NARs) from a group of customers. Each NAR specifies a network anomaly observed by a customer at a network endpoint. Each NAR is entered into a database and associated in the database with attributes including at least one customer attribute associated with the sender of that NAR or network attribute associated with the network anomaly specified in that NAR. A time period is detected during which the difference between an aggregate number of NARs received within that time period and a baseline number of NARs received during prior time periods of substantially identical duration exceeds a threshold. The attributes associated with the NARs received during the time period are analyzed to identify a network anomaly specified in those NARs. Repair resources are further preferentially allocated to the identified network anomaly.
