Analysis of arbitrary wireless network data using matched filters
First Claim
1. A method for analyzing network data using matched filters, the method comprising:
- obtaining a data set from a source;
computing one or more values from the data set, each value corresponding to a particular signature element;
evaluating the one or more values based on one or more signature elements included in a particular matched filter; and
computing a probability of detection for the particular matched filter based on the one or more signature elements.

Abstract
Analyzing an arbitrary data set to determine the presence or absence of a defined signature element, in order to understand an event or detect a root cause of an event in a wireless network. Signatures are generated and include signature elements. The signature elements in a given signature are associated with a coverage model. A data set is processed and values that correspond to each signature element are computed from the data set. The probability of detection for a given signature can then be computed based on the values computed from the data set, the coverage model and a statistical factor included in the signature. Different events typically have different signature elements in the associated signature.
