MANAGING NETWORK EVENT DATA IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

Managing network event data in a telecommunications network A method (200) is disclosed for managing network event data in a telecommunications network, wherein a network event is associated with a plurality of network event data fields, and wherein the telecommunications network comprises a data storage facility for network event data, the data storage facility comprising a plurality of storage functions. The method comprises obtaining queries submitted to the data storage facility (210) and, for a network event data field, determining a frequency with which data in the network event data field is required in order to respond to the obtained queries (220) and using a trained machine learning model to map the determined frequency to a value of a selection parameter for the network event data field (230). The method further comprises performing at least one of (240) storing data in the network event data field in a storage function in the data storage facility, migrating data in the network event data field between storage functions in the data storage facility or deleting data in the network event data field from a storage function in the data storage facility in accordance with the value of the selection parameter. Also disclosed are a method (400) of training a machine learning model and apparatus and a computer program product for carrying out methods for managing network event data and training a machine learning model.
