随着关键服务对网络基础设施依赖加深,以及超5G/6G网络运营复杂性上升,亟需主动、自动化的网络故障管理。O-RAN规范提供的开放接口与AI/ML集成能力,为网络健康监控和异常检测创造了新可能。本文利用这些优势,提出一种主动检测用户设备(UE)潜在吞吐量下降的异常检测框架,并最小化切换后失败问题。设计两种适用于实际部署的可行动态异常检测算法:首个算法基于资源块利用率、信号质量等关键性能指标(KPI),识别面临严重吞吐量下降风险的UE,实现提前切换;第二个算法评估邻区无线覆盖质量,剔除信号强度或干扰异常的小区,平均使切换候选目标减少41.27%。两项方法协同作用,在远低于近实时延迟要求的前提下,有效缓解切换后失败与吞吐量下降问题,为自愈型6G网络奠定基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The ever-increasing reliance of critical services on network infrastructure coupled with the increased operational complexity of beyond-5G/6G networks necessitate the need for proactive and automated network fault management. The provision for open interfaces among different radio access network\,(RAN) elements and the integration of AI/ML into network architecture enabled by the Open RAN\,(O-RAN) specifications bring new possibilities for active network health monitoring and anomaly detection. In this paper we leverage these advantages and develop an anomaly detection framework that proactively detect the possible throughput drops for a UE and minimize the post-handover failures. We propose two actionable anomaly detection algorithms tailored for real-world deployment. The first algorithm identifies user equipment (UE) at risk of severe throughput degradation by analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) such as resource block utilization and signal quality metrics, enabling proactive handover initiation. The second algorithm evaluates neighbor cell radio coverage quality, filtering out cells with anomalous signal strength or interference levels. This reduces candidate targets for handover by 41.27\% on average. Together, these methods mitigate post-handover failures and throughput drops while operating much faster than the near-real-time latency constraints. This paves the way for self-healing 6G networks.
