Method of operating a self organizing network and system thereof

1. A computerized system configured to operate in a self-organizing network comprising a plurality of access points serving a plurality of clients, the system comprising a processor operatively connected to a first interface configured to periodically obtain data informative of network events with regard to access points among the plurality of access points and to respectively served clients and to a second interface configured to periodically receive client-related data informative, at least, of priority values assigned to clients among the plurality of clients, wherein the processor is configured:

upon obtaining data indicative of privileged clients among the plurality of clients, parsing the data informative of network events to track data informative of network events with regard to the privileged clients;

to process the data informative of network events with regard to the privileged clients, thereby periodically associating the privileged clients with the access points and periodically identifying one or more privileged access points;

to track quality informative data with regard to the privileged access points and periodically assess to each of one or more privileged access points among the plurality of access points a value being a function of priority values assigned to clients associated with the respective access point during an assessing period and quality informative data related to privileged clients associated with the given privileged access point during the assessing period; and

to use the assessed values for periodically identifying at least one privileged access point requiring at least one corrective action.

2. The computerized system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to periodically use the values assessed to the at least one identified privileged access point requiring at least one corrective action for identifying at least one desirable corrective action, thereby enabling corrective actions in consideration of priority values of associated clients.

3. The computerized system of claim 1 , wherein the second interface is configured to receive a list of privileged clients, each client characterized by a pre-assigned priority value, and the processor is configured to obtain at least part of data indicative of privileged clients and priority values assigned thereto from the list.

4. The computerized system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to periodically update data indicative of privileged clients among the plurality of clients, wherein updating comprises processing data periodically received via the first and/or the second interface, the data selected from a group constituted by data informative of network events, billing-related data and usage-related data.

5. The computerized system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to periodically reassign at least part of priority values to be used for assessing the values to the privileged access points, wherein reassigning comprises processing data periodically received via the first and/or the second interface, the data selected from a group constituted by data informative of network events, billing-related data and usage-related data.

6. The computerized system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to periodically reassign at least part of priority values to be used for assessing the values to the one or more access points, wherein reassignment is provided by using dissatisfaction-related data at least partly derived by the processor from data informative of network events, and wherein a value assessed to a given access point is further indicative of dissatisfaction of clients associated with a respective access point during the assessing period.

7. The computerized system of claim 1 , wherein any access points associated during the assessing period with the privileged clients is identified as the privileged access points.

8. The computerized system of claim 1 , wherein the periodically identifying one or more privileged access points comprises selecting, among access points associated with the privileged clients during the assessing period, one or more access points matching predefined selection criteria, such access points identified as the privileged access points.

9. The computerized system of claim 1 , wherein periodically identifying one or more privileged access points comprises selecting, among access points statistically associated with the privileged clients, one or more access points matching predefined selection criteria, such access points identified as the privileged access points, and wherein statistical association between access points and privileged clients is periodically updated.

10. The computerized system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured:

periodically identify, to each of the one or more privileged access points, clients with assigned priority values matching a priority criteria, thus giving rise to priority-matching clients;

identify quality informative data related to the priority-matching clients; and

use the identified quality informative data when periodically assessing values to respective access points, wherein each given assessed value being further a function of quality informative data related to priority-matching clients.

11. The computerized system of claim 10 , wherein all privileged clients match the priority criteria.

12. The computerized system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is further configured to use the identified quality informative data for calculating, for each of the one or more privileged access points, privileged QoS/QoE scores, thereby enabling dynamic monitoring of QoS/QOE of the one or more privileged access points in consideration of priority values of the clients associated with respective privileged access points during the assessing period.

13. The computerized system of claim 12 , wherein identifying the at least one privileged access point requiring at least one corrective action is provided in accordance with non-conformity between privileged QoS/QoE scores predefined to the one or more privileged access points and privileged QoS/QoE scores calculated for the respective privileged access points using the identified quality informative data.

14. The computerized system of claim 13 , wherein associating the clients with the privileged access points further comprises locating the clients within the privileged access points, and wherein the at least one corrective action is identified in further consideration of locations of the clients associated with the at least one identified privileged access point requiring at least one corrective action.
