Abstract

The disclosed system obtains KPIs and configuration parameters associated with the mature and the immature network. A physical layer of the mature wireless telecommunication network corresponds to a physical layer of the immature wireless telecommunication network. The system combines KPIs of the immature network and KPIs of the mature network to obtain multiple KPIs. The system predicts an attribute associated with the immature wireless telecommunication network, where the attribute depends on multiple other attributes associated with the wireless telecommunication network. To make the prediction, the system provides the multiple key performance indicators and the configuration parameters to a machine learning model trained on data associated with the mature wireless telecommunication network. The machine learning model predicts the value of the attribute associated with the immature wireless telecommunication network based on the multiple key performance indicators and the configuration parameters.
