RT Journal Article T1 Method for Artificial KPI Generation With Realistic Time-Dependent Behaviour A1 Luo Chen, Hao Qiang A1 Álvarez-Merino, Carlos Simón A1 Khatib, Emil Jatib A1 Barco-Moreno, Raquel K1 Sistemas de comunicación móviles AB Machine Learning (ML) is the dominating solution for the implementation of Self-Organizing Networks (SON), which automate mobile network management. However, the data scarcity derived from the reluctance of operators complicates the necessary training phase ML algorithms. In this letter a method to generate artificial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) time series is proposed considering their time-dependent behaviour. The data is modelled and categorised according to the time of the day and the data models are adapted with statistical copulas to create samples which present interrelation among different KPIs. Finally, results obtained from a real mobile network are presented. PB IEEE Xplore YR 2021 FD 2021-07-07 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10630/37534 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10630/37534 LA eng NO H. Q.
