Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROACTIVE INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT IN A TELECOMMUNICATION NETWORK FIELD OF INVENTION The present invention relates generally to the field of wireless communication systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods and systems for proactive interference management in a telecommunication network. BACKGROUND The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the invention. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present invention. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present invention, and not as admissions of prior art. Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second-generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. Third generation (3G) technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth-generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth-generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users. Despite the significant advancements in 5G technology, operators and service providers still face challenges in its implementation. One notable issue is tropospheric interference, which continues to pose a significant obstacle. The tropospheric interference is a major critical area for all operators as it gives major impact during the weather changes due to the tropospheric duct and that too for a very long distance up to 1000km. The tropospheric interference occurs when a Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) signal passes through troposphere which is a closest atmosphere to the Earth’s surface. Also, the troposphere may cause a delay in the GNSS signal, that results in atiming error. Further, this type of interference is particularly prevalent in regions with high humidity, such as near coastlines, and especially during adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain or snow. There was a need in the state of the art to predict the tropospheric interference so that measures can be taken to rectify issues caused by such interference. Over the period of time, various solutions have been developed to improve the performance of communication devices and to perform interference management in telecommunication network. However, there are certain challenges with existing solutions. The existing solutions for interference predictions in a network, in near real time lacks the precision, moreover the existing solutions fails to optimize a network performance as the existing solutions fails to provide a robust reliable communication infrastructure that can meet the evolving demands of modem telecommunications hence there is a scope of further advancement. Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art to perform proactive interference management in telecommunication network. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION Some of the objects of the present invention, which at least one embodiment disclosed herein satisfies are listed herein below. It is an object of the present invention to provide a system and a method for proactive interference management in telecommunication network. It is another object of the present invention to provide a solution that helps to reduce the impact of interference well in advance causing no impact of interference on network in near real time as well as customer experience. It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a solution to perform predictive approach which gives the prediction of cells which has a high probability of becoming an aggressor cell and causing interference.
