Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATING DEPLOYMENT OF A NETWORK FIELD OF DISCLOSURE [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relates to field of telecommunication radio network deployment. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for automating deployment of a network. BACKGROUND [0002] 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. [0003] 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. The 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. [0004] In the deployment of a wireless communication network, multiple stake holders are involved at every stage of different milestones and in performing various tasks. This mechanism creates communication gap between various stake holders when manual communication is used for assignment of tasks to perform the respective task execution. It is also difficult to monitor the tracking of deployment status of each radio product in a network, various tasks execution within SLA, and assignment of task to respective stakeholder etc. [0005] Further, over the period of time, various solutions have been developed to improve the deployment of wireless communication networks. However, there are certain challenges with existing solutions. For instance, the existing solutions are generic and fail to monitor accurately all tasks and milestones of various stake holders during the deployment of the wireless communication network, and also the existing solutions do not provide an automation plan for deployment of an entire radio product network or wireless communication network. [0006] Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art for providing automation plan to build process for radio product network deployment, which the present disclosure aims to address. SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE [0007] This section is provided to introduce certain aspects of the present disclosure in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description. This summary is not intended to identify the key features or the scope of the claimed subject matter. [0008] An aspect of the present disclosure may relate to a method for automating deployment of a network. The method includes identifying, by an identification unit, a set of requirement parameters from a stored collection of digital survey forms data. Next, the method includes identifying, by the identification unit, a set of entities and a set of deployment stages required for the network deployment, based on the identified set of requirement parameters. Next, the method includes generating, by a processing unit, one or more sets of execution tasks, wherein each of the execution task from the one or more sets of execution tasks has a pre-defined service level agreement (SLA) and wherein a first set of execution tasks from the one or more sets of execution tasks is associated with a first deployment stage from the set of deployment stages. The method then, includes assigning, by the processing unit, the first set of execution tasks, to the one or more entities from the set of entities. Next, the method includes updating, by the processing unit, a status for each execution task from the first set of execution tasks, with a state associated with each of the execution task. Thereafter, the method includes sending, by a transceiver unit, an auto escalation notification to a target entity from the set of entities in an event the pre-defined SLA is breached for at least one execution task from the first set of execution tasks. [0009] In an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure, the method further describes, that the network is a 5G radio product network. [0010] In an exemplary aspect
