Abstract

This chapter is interested in discussing and reporting how one can be benefited by using Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery techniques in achieving an acceptable level of quality of service of telecommunication systems. The quality of service is defined as the metrics which is predicated by using the data mining techniques, decision tree, association rules and neural networks. Digital telecommunication networks are highly complex systems and thus their planning, management and optimization are challenging tasks. The user expectations constitute the Quality of Service (QoS). To gain a competitive edge on other operators, the operating personnel have to measure the network in terms of QoS. In current times, there are three data mining methods applied to actual GSM network performance measurements, in which the methods were chosen to help the operating staff to find the essential information in network quality performance measurements. The results of Pekko (2004) show that the analyst can make good use of Rough Sets and Classification and Regression Trees (CART), because their information can be expressed in plain language rules that preserve the variable names of the original measurement. In addition, the CART and the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) provide effective visual means for interpreting the data set.
