Abstract

The disclosed system (100) and method (1200) for data visualization and management in a telecommunication network is disclosed. The system incorporates one or more processors that receive user inputs for identifying network nodes. A unified user interface (UI) (102) is employed to present a spider view menu with multiple segments corresponding to pre-processed data categories, including alarms (104), key performance indicators (KPIs) (106), properties (108), capacity (110), and configuration (112). The data is sourced from a database (103) linked to the processors (105). The UI (102) is designed to offer one-click access to detailed data, eliminating the need for multiple logins. It also features real-time updates and displays information, color-coded for distinction, enabling interactive engagement with the data. The processors are adept at synchronizing the management of diverse network node types, hardware vendors, and server systems, streamlining network operations and oversight.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VISUALIZING KEY METRICS OF WIRELESS NODES RESERVATION OF RIGHTS [0001] A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material which is subject to intellectual property rights such as, but are not limited to, copyright, design, trademark, Integrated Circuit (IC) layout design, and/or trade dress protection, belonging to Jio Platforms Limited (JPL) or its affiliates (herein after referred as owner). The owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent files or records, but otherwise reserves all rights whatsoever. All rights to such intellectual property are fully reserved by the owner. TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present disclosure relates to wireless cellular communications, and specifically to a system and a method to use a spider view menu to provide data visualization for information related to wireless cellular network nodes of a cellular network. DEFINITION [0003] As used in the present disclosure, the following terms are generally intended to have the meaning as set forth below, except to the extent that the context in which they are used to indicate otherwise. [0004] The expression ‘spider view menu’ used hereinafter in the specification refers to a type of web site or application design that makes use of web scraping technology to extract data from other websites and display it on the user's homepage or within the application itself. The spider view menu allows users to view relevant and up-to-date information from a variety of sources in one place. [0005] These definitions are in addition to those expressed in the art. BACKGROUND [0006] The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art. [0007] Currently, network operators face a challenge when it comes to obtaining a comprehensive overview of their site's performance and related information. There is no single, unified platform that allows them to access all the relevant data and properties related to their site in one place. Instead, the network operators are forced to log in to multiple tools, dashboards, and databases, fetch reports, and perform manual analysis. The present approach is cumbersome, time-consuming, and frustrating, as it requires users to have specific logins for each tool they use. As a result, network operators are often unable to obtain a complete picture of their site and may miss important information or insights that could help them optimize their site's performance and improve its user experience. [0008] Patent US11178559B2 describes a method for determining a status (up or down) of a cellular node. This is done by using a discovery mechanism that identifies whether there is a connection available between the node, an intermediate server, and an operational support system (OSS). The solution provided by US 11178559B2 is limited to checking whether the node is in service or not. [0009] There is, therefore, a need in the art to provide an improved mechanism for maintaining the site information at a centralized data source for easy and quick availability. OBJECTS OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE [0010] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a system and a method to use a spider view menu to provide data visualization for information related to wireless cellular network nodes of a cellular network. [0011] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a User Interface (UI) for showing specific information about the node with a single click. [0012] It is an object of the present disclosure to eliminate a user's requirement to navigate multiple Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) and perform multiple logins to access and view relevant metrics information from multiple vendors. [0013] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide an easy identification of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) performance checks using a KPI comparison. [0014] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide maximum observability of the site using the pre-processed data. [0015] It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a comprehensive 360- degree view encompassing fault status (up/down), performance KPIs, node properties, capacity information, and configuration. The disclosed interface enables complete end-to-end observability for any cellular nodes. SUMMARY [0016] The present disclosure discloses a method for visualizing and managing data associated with network nodes in a telecommunication network. The method includes storing, in a database, pre-processed data corresponding to a plurality
