Identifying and localizing equipment failures

The disclosed technology is directed towards automatically detecting failure states and the cause of the failure. For a network, the technology collects status messages from equipment and customers into batches as they occur. The technology groups and aggregates messages, then transforms the aggregations to the frequency domain. Anomalies induce detectable changes in the particle distribution of a trained particle filter, from which an anomalous spectrogram is generated. The status messages of each device are iteratively removed from the larger set of messages, resulting in reduced subsets that are each aggregated, transformed into a modified spectrogram and compared against the anomalous spectrogram to obtain a distance score. The distance score for each device is used to rank the devices with respect to being the cause of the failure.

Intelligent system for network and device performance improvement

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein that monitor and improve network performance and reliability of a plurality of devices and nodes. In aspects, alert types are categorized based on the role, model, and operating system of a device or node within the network for which the alert was generated. A command set that is responsive to the alert and that is specially configured for the role, model, and operating system of the device or node is automatically selected to address the alert. The command set can be executed against the device or node (or neighboring device/node) in order to investigate the cause or source of the alert. Based on the results returned by the command set's execution, remediation actions can be selected and implemented to improve the technological performance (e.g., memory, CPU, connectivity) of the device or node in the network.

Video-call user experience testing and assurance
11700294 · 2023-07-11 · ·

During operation, an electronic device receives, from a second electronic device in a network, a request for testing. In response, the electronic device set ups a video call with a video-call service. Then, the electronic device provides, to the second electronic device, an invitation for the video call. When the electronic device receives a notification (e.g., from the video-call service) that the video call has started, the electronic device provides content via the video-call service for the second electronic device. Next, the electronic device obtains communication-performance metrics associated with communication via the network during the video call and video-service performance metrics associated with the video call. Furthermore, the electronic device diagnoses a type of problem experienced at the second electronic device during the video call based at least in part on the communication-performance metrics, the video-service performance metrics and a pretrained machine-learning model.

NOISE AND IMPAIRMENT LOCALIZATION

Various techniques include detecting noise resulting from data network impairments and analyzing the noise to determine a likely source and location of the data network impairments. The analysis is used to generate noise reports that instruct network technicians how to check network devices for network impairments. The instructions can be provided on portable electronic devices that are further configured to receive data characterizing any impairments identified at the network devices. The data generated by the network technicians can be used to improve the ability of the techniques to correctly identify the source of data network impairments.
