Knowledge base radio and core network prescriptive root cause analysis

A method, computer program product and system for performing performance and root cause analysis of failures in a telecommunication network are provided. The telecommunication network includes User Equipment (UE) devices, core network and radio access network (RAN). Information related to impacted performance and failures reported in the telecommunication network is received. Telecommunication and transport network elements associated with the reported network performance and failures are identified. Performance and configuration data associated with the identified network elements is analyzed to identify one or more causes of the reported network failures. A root cause analysis of the reported network failures is performed using knowledge and statistical inference models for each of the identified causes to provide at least one recommendation for resolving the reported network failures.
