Patent ID: 8660026

Claim:
A method, comprising: monitoring, by a processor, network performance measurements of long term evolution mobility elements to determine a quality control indicator of each of a plurality of long term evolution interfaces of the long term evolution mobility elements and to determine key performance indicators for the long term evolution mobility elements; monitoring, by the processor, a class type and a bandwidth type of each of the long term evolution interfaces to determine a class of service of each of the long term evolution interfaces; detecting, by the processor, an impairment state based upon the key performance indicators; determining, by the processor, that the impairment state is due to a class of service and a quality of service mismatch when determining a quality control indicator of one of the long term evolution interfaces does not match a required quality of service for the class of service of the one long term evolution interface, wherein the required quality of service for the class of service is determined from a predefined table for mobility signaling traffic that maps the class of service to the required quality of service, wherein the class of service is a function of: a retainability measure, and an availability measure of a network; and reconfiguring, by the processor, the quality of service of the one long term evolution interface when the impairment state is due to the class of service and the quality of service mismatch.
