Cellular Network Fault Diagnosis Method Based on a Graph Convolutional Neural Network.

ABSTRACT

The efficient and accurate diagnosis of faults in cellular networks is crucial for ensuring smooth and uninterrupted communication services. In this paper, we propose an improved 4G/5G network fault diagnosis with a few effective labeled samples. Our solution is a heterogeneous wireless network fault diagnosis algorithm based on Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCN). First, the common failure types of 4G/5G networks are analyzed, and then the graph structure is constructed with the data in the network parameter, given data sets as nodes and similarities as edges. GCN is used to extract features from the graph data, complete the classification task for nodes, and finally predict the fault types of cells. A large number of experiments are carried out based on the real data set, which is achieved by driving tests. The results show that, compared with a variety of traditional algorithms, the proposed method can effectively improve the performance of network fault diagnosis with a small number of labeled samples.
