Abstract

A method for analysing performance of a telecommunications network is disclosed. The method comprises assembling values observed for a network performance parameter over a time window and constructing a time series by associating each performance parameter value with a representation of a time at which the value was observed. The method further comprises encoding the time series to generate a compressed representation of the time series, decoding the compressed representation of the time series to reconstruct the time series, calculating a reconstruction error between the time series and the reconstructed time series, and analysing the reconstruction error to determine if the assembled performance parameter values indicate an anomalous behaviour during the time window. Also disclosed are an apparatus and a computer program product configured to conduct methods for analysing performance of a telecommunications network.
