1. A method of detecting radio network trends in a telecommunications network, comprising the steps of:
- setting parameters for a data search utilizing a data mining tool;
determining which databases in said network to search for said data;
configuring said data mining tool for recognizing data patterns across all databases searched;
utilizing said data mining tool to determine previously unknown data relationships in said databases;
improving future searches by said data mining tool learning from each search iteration; and
determining and reporting said network trends by utilizing said correlations, said data dependencies and said data relationships.

Abstract
A system and method of detecting radio network trends in a telecommunications network. A data mining tool (52) is provided and adapted to search through the various operations and maintenance database systems belonging to one or more communications network(s) (60). The data mining tool searches through the databases to find correlations and dependencies among the parameters of the data collected and stored in the database systems. The correlations and dependencies found are then reported for further analysis which can, in turn, be used in optimization, maintenance and trouble shooting of the network.
