Abstract
A base-station failure predictor comprises an interface to at least one sub-unit of a base-station of a mobile communications network, an alarm memory, and an alarm evaluator. The base-station failure predictor is adapted to receive a plurality of alarms from the at least one sub-unit of the base-station via the interface. The plurality of alarms are stored in the alarm memory, and the alarm evaluator is adapted to analyze the frequency of the plurality of alarms to assess a likelihood of failure of the at least one sub-unit concerned. A base-station failure prediction method is also proposed. Furthermore, a computer program product with instructions for the manufacture and a computer program product enabling a processor to carry out the base-station prediction method are also proposed.
