Proactive impact analysis in a 5G Telco network

Abstract:

Examples herein describe systems and methods for impact assessment in a Telco network. An impact assessment engine can receive a scenario that species a symptom for a network resource. The scenario can be specified on an administrative console. The impact assessment engine can construct failure signatures in a codebook matrix. The codebook matrix correlates problems at impacted network resources to network symptoms. Based on the scenario, the impact assessment engine can generate synthetic failure signatures and isolate a subset based on which of the synthetic failure signatures are most common. Then, the system can identify tenants and services in the Telco network impacted by the subset. This can allow administrators or an automated process to identify potential impacts before a scenario occurs.
