MUMBAI, India, Nov. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421036174 A) filed by Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Maharashtra, on May 7, 2024, for 'method and system for network fault management by predicting average rate at faulty base station.'

Inventor(s) include Yadav, Indu; Suman, Santan; Mishra, Garima; Rath, Hemant Kumar; and Menon, Muralidharan Sadanand.

The application for the patent was published on Nov. 14, under issue no. 46/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for network fault management. Conventionally, faults are analyzed by setting rules based on network experts' experience, such as duration of faults or predefined categories of faults, to determine which faults need to be handled with higher priority. The present disclosure addresses these problems through a method of performing network fault management at a faulty base station using a timeseries forecasting model coupled with a clustering algorithm. The time series forecasting model considers a plurality of network parameters received from a plurality of base stations serving at least one user equipment (UE) and trains the model to predict an average data rate at the faulty BS. Further the model receives the network parameters for a cluster comprising the faulty BS and re-trains itself. Finally, the model prioritizes the faults based on decreased average data rate of the UE at the faulty BS."
