Abstract
The present teaching is directed to clustering with denoising capability and its use in network capacity planning. Data samples with attributes of network elements and respective key performance indicators are first clustered to obtain initial clusters. Each initial cluster is hierarchically clustered to generate subclusters, each of which is detected as a pure or an impure subcluster based on some criterion. Each impure subcluster is denoised based on a situation detected, with some samples merged with a corresponding pure subcluster, some bootstrapped using additional data samples with consistent properties, and some removed if additional data sample with consistent properties is not available. The denoising is iteratively performed until a denoising criterion is satisfied to obtain denoised clusters corresponding to clusters of network elements. Actions may be performed on the network elements according to their corresponding denoised clusters.
