Abstract
A method for controlling operation of a communications network based on predicting a value of a first Key Performance Indicator, KPI. The method comprises maintaining () a plurality of machine-learning processes, wherein an individual machine-learning process operates based on a data model and decision-making rules making up a predicting logic of said individual machine-learning process. The plurality 10 of machine-learning processes operate based on a plurality of different data models and a plurality of different decision-making rules. The method further comprises receiving () a stream of values of Key Performance Indicators, KPIs, obtained from network elements of the communications network and predicting () a plurality of future values of said first KPI, wherein the future values of said first KPI refer to the same point in 15 time. Further the method comprises combining () the individual predictions into a single predicted value of the first KPI and triggering () a network management operation if the single predicted first KPI value is equal to or exceeds a first threshold ().
