A telecommunication system monitors, for a plurality of services, a number of service requests from users and quality of service perceived by the users while using the services. A self-organizing network module determines a correlation between at least one configuration parameter, the number of service requests and the quality of service perceived, and, based on the correlation, a target number of service requests, and a target quality of service, determines an updated value for the at least one configuration parameter. Then the self-organizing network module commands the telecommunication system to implement reconfiguration thereof based on the updated value of the at least one configuration parameter.

Telecommunication system and method for reconfiguring it

A self-organizing system for mobile communication optimization includes circuitry that collects external data related to an external event causing gathering of user equipment in a geographic area. The circuitry obtains spatial and time identifiers of the external event based on the external data in order to forecast data traffic due to the external event. The circuitry then generates a corresponding critical issues report identifying potential critical issues based on the data traffic forecast, and generates and enforces a network communication update based on the critical issues report.

Self-organizing network system

A communication system includes a communication network and a communication system node. The communication system node communicates with the communication network via a first communication link, and establishes a second communication link with at least one user equipment to allow the user equipment to connect to the communication network. The second communication link is an unmanaged communication link. A backhauling provider module associated with the communication network dynamically allocates backhauling resources to the first communication link for data transmission between the node and the communication network based on the user equipment's parameters.

Resources allocation for un-managed communication links

A method of managing a network apparatus of a telecommunication network, where the network apparatus does not expose management interfaces sufficient to allow managing at least one operational parameter thereof of interest for the managing, includes collecting data about the network apparatus to be managed by making requests to the network apparatus to be managed and to at least one other network apparatus in operating relationships with the network apparatus to be managed. Based on the collected data, generating a behavioral model of the network apparatus to be managed. The behavioral model is an inferred logical and mathematical model of the behavior of the network apparatus to be managed with respect to the operational parameter thereof of interest for the managing. The method also includes and managing the network apparatus to be managed exploiting the generated behavioral model thereof.

A method for managing a wireless network includes collecting a sequence of traffic data samples and arranging the sequence of data samples in a level-0 residual matrix having a dimension corresponding to a time scale defining a time window. The method also includes performing a least one cycle of subdividing the matrix based on the time scale to form traffic sample sets, calculating a functional that fits each sample set, and calculating an approximation of each sample set. The method also includes joining together the approximations to form an approximated matrix and calculating the difference between the matrix and the approximated matrix. The method further forecasts a traffic data trend for another time window by generating predicted samples based on the previous calculations, and allocating resources of the wireless network based on the traffic data trend.
