摘要:
An active node of a communications network includes a forwarding component for forwarding a packet of an active application, a processor for processing the packet, and a forwarding control component for modifying path data associated with the packet, based on the processing. The forwarding component can forward said packet directly to the network or via the processor. The processing can include executing code contained within the packet, and/or executing code to process application data in the packet. The path data can include the MPLS label stack of the packet and/or MPLS tables of the forwarding component. To allow processing based on multiple labels of a packet, the forwarding component can include a loopback connection between its input and output ports.
摘要:
A network analysis system which obtains parameter data generated by equipment of a telecommunications network. The parameter data represents operational parameters of the network. The system processes the parameter data to generate symptom data from test procedures applied to the parameter data. Fault data is generated, which is representative of faults which may have occurred, on the basis of the symptom data and relationship data representative of the relationship between the symptom data and the faults. The relationship between a symptom and a fault represents the likelihood of the system being caused by the fault. The system also generates occurrence data, which is representative of faults which probably have occurred, on the basis of the fault data.

A cellular telecommunications method for use in a cellular telecommunications network (2) having at least one cluster (4) of adjoining cells (6), the cells being allocated different transmission frequencies, the method including swapping the different frequencies amongst the cells (6). A cellular telecommunications network including at least one cluster (4) having adjoining cells (6) with respective base stations (50), the base stations (50) being allocated different transmission frequencies and having control means for controlling swapping of the different frequencies between the base stations (50).
摘要:
A method and apparatus for inducing a localised optical transmission loss in an optical fiber cable is described, which is particularly well suited for use with optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) equipment to aid in locating faults in an optical fiber cable. A small portion of the optical fiber cable is cooled, such as by immersion in a cryogenic liquid like liquid nitrogen, and fibres in the cooled cable portion exhibit localised optical transmission loss which can be detected as a point loss (26) with the OTDR trace (24). The technique of inducing the point loss in non-invasive, and the localised transmission loss disappears when the cable portion returns to the ambient temperature, without damage to the cable.
摘要:
A training method for a support vector machine, including executing an iterative process on a training set of data to determine parameters defining the machine, the iterative process being executed on the basis of a differentiable form of a primal optimisation problem for the parameters, the problem being defined on the basis of the parameters and the data set.
摘要:
A search engine and system for data, such as Internet web pages, including a query analyser for processing a query to assign respective weights to terms of the query and to generate a query vector including the weights, and an index network responsive to the query vector to output at least one index to data in response to the query. The index network is a self-generating neural network built using training examples derived from a feature extractor. The feature extractor is used during both the search and training phase. A clusterer is used to group search results.
摘要:
A system for use in developing a voice application, including a dialog element selector for defining execution paths of the application by selecting dialog elements and adding the dialog elements to a tree structure, each path through the tree structure representing one of the execution paths, a dialog element generator for generating the dialog elements on the basis of predetermined templates and properties of the dialog elements, the properties received from a user of the system, each of said dialog elements corresponding to at least one voice language template, and a code generator for generating at least one voice language module for the application on the basis of said at least one voice language template and said properties. The voice language templates include VoiceXML elements, and the dialog elements can be regenerated from the voice language module. The voice language module can be used to provide the voice application for an IVR.
摘要:
A network system having a network switch for processing characteristic data associated with a communications call to determine if Intelligent Network (IN) service data is required to establish the call, and a network service data gateway for receiving the characteristic data from the network switch when the service data is required. The gateway is adapted to process at least part of the characteristic data to determine a network location to access in order to obtain the service data, and a communication protocol for connecting to the network location. The gateway is also adapted to receive the service data and pass the service data to the switch to establish the call. The system has a Home IN and Visitor IN architecture.
摘要:
A network fault system (2) for mobile telecommunications network which includes a first interface (8, 14) for accessing first fault data representative of faults reported by users of mobile stations of the network a second interface (12, 14) for accessing second fault data representative of faults in the network determined by a network analysis system (10), and pattern matching means (14, 24) for allocating the first and second fault data to fault patterns representative of faults having at least one common characteristic.
