Remote antenna coverage change event detection in mobile wireless networks
Last updated:
Abstract:
A computer-automated maintaining a physical configuration of an antenna operating within radio access network (RAN) of a mobile wireless network is described. A feature subset of a covering set of features for the antenna is specified. A centroid is generated for the antenna, wherein the centroid comprises a current long-term values of the feature subset obtained by processing multiple data sets for the feature subset over a relatively long time period. An antenna change detection decision is rendered, wherein the rendering an antenna change detection decision comprises first applying a current short-term values of the feature subset, which are representative of a current status of the antenna, to the centroid to render a current distance from centroid. In accordance with detecting an antenna change event during the applying, an antenna change event notification is issued that corresponds to the detected antenna change event.
