SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING CAPACITY MONITORING AND RECOMMENDING ACTION FOR WIRELESS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring a network, comprising:
- obtaining data associated with one or more capacity attributes and one or more key performance indicators (KPIs) associated with a network;
calculating network level values for the one or more KPIs from the obtained data;
generating performance data graphs by plotting a first of the one or more KPIs against a second of the one or more KPIs;
analyzing the one or more performance data graphs to determine at least one alarm threshold; and
monitoring the one or more capacity attributes to determine if any of the at least one alarm thresholds has been triggered.
