Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method performed by a processor, the processor is coupled with a non-transitory computer readable medium, the method comprising: determining a probability matrix indicating with respect to each pair of transmitters of a telecommunication system a number indicating a portion of the services provided by a first transmitter of the pair that is hand-offed to a second transmitter of the pair; and with respect to each transmitter, attributing a portion of a number of dropped services by transmitters to the transmitter based on the probability matrix thereby determining an estimated number of dropped services that were caused due to hand-off failures by the transmitter; wherein the number of dropped services to the transmitter is obtainable from a database of the telecommunication system, wherein said attributing a portion of the dropped services is performed by multiplying a vector of number of dropped services for each transmitter by the probability matrix, whereby a resulting vector comprising an attributed number of dropped services for each transmitter is determined
