Abstract:
This paper presents a data-driven framework
designed to enhance Remote Management
Systems (RMS) in telecommunications
infrastructure through the application of
data analytics and machine learning (ML)
techniques. The proposed solution does not
require additional hardware; instead, it utilizes
existing RMS data streams and applies advanced
processing algorithms to address key challenges
in anomaly detection and root cause analysis.
The framework was deployed and validated
across 1,004 telecom sites, resulting in significant
operational improvements: a 40% reduction in
mean time to repair (MTTR), a 25% decrease
in maintenance costs, and enhanced network reliability with 99.98% system availability. The anomaly detection module demonstrated 85% accuracy in
identifying abnormal air conditioning unit (ACU) cycling patterns, with a 76%
reduction in false alarms. Using a hybrid ML approach that combines supervised
learning, unsupervised clustering, and correlation analysis, the system accurately
detects complex operational issues such as abnormal cycle speeds and irregular
fuel consumption. Additionally, it effectively identifies and corrects anomalies
related to critical remote terminal (CRT) faults, including DC mains failures.
Historical incident data is leveraged to support pattern recognition for accurate
root cause analysis, achieving 83.3% accuracy. The framework also aligns with
sustainability goals and adheres to ISO 25010 standards for system quality
evaluation, offering both operational and environmental benefits.
