Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for optimizing operational performance of femtocell devices deployed within a telecommunications network. More particularly, a femtocell Optimization (FCO) system is described that detects service issues that affect femtocell device(s). In some instances, the FCO system may automatically deploy a service resolution for known service issues or alerts network representatives for unresolved service issues. Moreover, the FCO system may be further configured to optimize resource utilization of a femtocell device network by preemptively correcting femtocell provisioning issues, based on patterns of historic service issues. The FCO system may further optimize resource usage of femtocell devices by selectively intercepting and terminating connectivity requests (i.e. rejecting issuance of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses) from client devices, or client device types, that have not historically overwhelmed femtocell network resources. The FCO system may further generate a femtocell analysis model to preemptively deploy service resolutions that protect against probable degradations in performance.
