Network analysis system
First Claim
1. A network analysis system including:
- means for obtaining parameter data generated by equipment of a telecommunications network, said parameter data representing operational parameters of said network collected during actual operating conditions;
means for processing said parameter data to generate symptom data from test procedures applied to said parameter data; and
means for generating fault data, representative of faults that may have occurred during said actual operating conditions, on a basis of said symptom data and relationship data representative of relationship between said symptom data and said faults.

Abstract
A network analysis system obtains parameter data generated by telecommunications network equipment, in which the parameter data represents operational parameters of the network. The network analysis system processes the parameter data to generate symptom data from test procedures that are applied to the parameter data. Fault data is generated that is representative of faults that may have occurred, on the basis of the symptom data and relationship data representative of the relationship between the symptom data and the faults. The relationship between a symptom and a fault represents likelihood of the symptom being caused by the fault. The system also generates occurrence data that is representative of faults that probably have occurred, on the basis of the fault data.
