MonTrees: Automated Detection and Classification of Networking Anomalies in Cellular Networks

Networking and Internet Architecture 2021-08-31 v1 Computation Methodology

Abstract

The active growth and dynamic nature of cellular networks makes network troubleshooting challenging. Identification of network problems leveraging on machine learning has gained a lot of visibility in the past few years, resulting in dramatically improved cellular network services. In this paper, we present a novel methodology to automate the fault identification process in a cellular network and to classify network anomalies, which combines supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms. Our experiments using real data from operational commercial mobile networks obtained through drive-test measurements as well as via the MONROE platform show that our method can automatically identify and classify networking anomalies, thus enabling timely and precise troubleshooting actions.
