Alarm prioritization in a 5G telco network

Abstract:

Examples herein describe systems and methods for alarm prioritization in a Telco network. A prioritization engine can receive root cause problems and impacted network components from a network analysis module. The prioritization engine can define a mapping matrix that weights the problems according to network component type and service level. Using the problem weights, the prioritization engine can construct a problem-impact matrix that includes impact weights. The impact weights can be summed for each problem, as can the problem weights. The problems with the highest summed weights can then be prioritized first. The summed weights can also be based on predicted failure costs, such that the most expensive problems are prioritized first. The prioritization engine can send prioritized alerts for the problems for display on a graphical user interface ("GUI").
