WE CLAIM:
1. A method (400) for detecting anomalies associated with one or more antennas
in a telecommunication network, the method comprising:
5 receiving (402), by a receiving unit (208), one or more parameter values
corresponding to the one or more antennas located on at least one network site, from
a database, wherein the at least one network site is divided into a set of sectors;
determining (404), by a determining unit (210), a current height of each of a
first antenna operating at a first frequency band and a second antenna operating at a
10 second frequency band based on the one or more parameter values, wherein the first
antenna and the second antenna are associated with a sector of the set of sectors;
calculating (406), by a calculating unit (212), a difference in the current height
of each of the first antenna and the second antenna associated with the sector;
comparing (408), by the calculating unit (212), the calculated difference with a
15 pre-defined height threshold; and
detecting (410), by a detecting unit (214), one or more anomalies corresponding
to the sector based on the comparison.
2. The method (400) as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
20 receiving, by the receiving unit (208), the one or more parameter values
corresponding to the one or more antennas from the database at a pre-defined time
interval.
3. The method (400) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first antenna and the
25 second antenna are adjacent antennas serving the sector.
45
4. The method (400) as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the one or more
antennas is configured to operate at a pre-defined frequency band and a pre-defined
technology.
5 5. The method (400) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one or more anomalies
are detected upon determining the difference in the current height of each of the first
antenna and the second antenna to be above the pre-defined height threshold.
6. The method (400) as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
10 flagging, by the detecting unit (214), the sector upon detecting the one or more
anomalies corresponding to the sector; and
notifying, by a notifying unit (216), a user by sending an alert corresponding
to the one or more anomalies in response to the flagging.
15 7. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
generating, by the detecting unit (214), a report based on the one or more
anomalies detected corresponding to the sector, wherein the report comprises
information associated with the sector and the one or more anomalies detected
corresponding to the sector; and
20 rendering, by the notifying unit (216), the report to the user.
8. A system (108) for detecting anomalies associated with one or more antennas
in a telecommunication network, the system (108) comprising:
a receiving unit (208) configured to receive one or more parameter
25 values corresponding to the one or more antennas located on at least one
network site from a database, wherein the at least one network site is divided
into a set of sectors;
46
a determining unit (210) configured to determine a current height of
each of a first antenna operating at a first frequency band and a second antenna
operating at a second frequency band based on the one or more parameter
values, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are associated with a
5 sector of the set of sectors;
a calculating unit (212) configured to calculate a difference in the
current height of each of the first antenna and the second antenna associated
with the sector;
the calculating unit (212) configured to compare the calculated
10 difference with a pre-defined height threshold; and
a detecting unit (214) configured to detect one or more anomalies
corresponding to the sector based on the comparison.
9. The system (108) as claimed in claim 8, wherein the receiving unit (208) is
15 configured to:
receive the one or more parameter values corresponding to the one or more
antennas from the database at a pre-defined time interval.
10. The system (108) as claimed in claim 8, wherein the first antenna and the
20 second antenna are adjacent antennas serving the sector.
11. The system (108) as claimed in claim 8, wherein each of the one or more
antennas is configured to operate at a pre-defined frequency band and a pre-defined
technology.
25
12. The system (108) as claimed in claim 8, wherein the one or more anomalies are
detected upon determining the difference in the current height of each of the first
antenna and the second antenna to be above the pre-defined height threshold.
47
13. The system (108) as claimed in claim 8, wherein:
the detecting unit (214) configured to flag the sector upon detecting the one or
more anomalies corresponding to the sector; and
5 a notifying unit (216) configured to notify a user by sending an alert
corresponding to the one or more anomalies in response to the flag.
14. The system (108) as claimed in claim 8, wherein:
the detecting unit (214) configured to generate a report based on the one or
10 more anomalies detected corresponding to the sector, wherein the report comprises
information associated with the sector and the one or more anomalies detected
corresponding to the sector; and
