The present invention relates to a method and a system for distributing database changes in telecommunications networks. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and a softswitch for distributing subscriber database changes to other network elements of a next generation telecommunications network. In accordance with the inventive method, data-base changes are distributed in a telecommunications network, by detecting a database change in a first network element (110) and determining at least one second network element (120) storing a copy of the database portion that has changed. Then, using the TCAP over SCTP protocol, a message is communicated from the first network element (110) to the at least one second network element (120), the message comprising information that a database change has occurred and instructions as to how to update the corresponding database portion. This message is processed by the at least one second network element (120), which then updates the affected database portion of based on the information contained in the message.

The present invention discloses a communication system having backup function for several series communication devices. The apparatus comprises at least a line adapter unit having multipath inputs and multipath outputs. The series communication devices are cascaded by the line adapter unit. The port connected to the line adapter unit on the main controlling module of the communication devices is open, and the port connected to the line adapter unit on the spare controlling module is closed. The present invention also discloses two methods for carrying out the function of switching of the aforementioned communication system. By switching the communication device interfaced with the line adapter unit, the communication devices which are cascaded with said communication device does not need to switch.

The invention relates to a data transmission device having a number of N uplink interfaces (E1, UP) that can be directed via a processing line (A, B) provided with a data processing component (T, LIC) to a starting element (F). The invention is characterized in that a first processing line (A) and a second processing line (B) are provided, each comprising two separate processing rows (A1, A2, B1, B2) for N/2 data lines each. A first half (1 to 8) of the N uplink interfaces (E1, UP) is connected to the first processing line (A) and the second half (9 to 16) of the N uplink interfaces (E1, UP) is connected to the second processing line (B). Every processing line (A, B) comprises a circuit arrangement (8A, 8B) that connects the N/2 data lines connected to the processing line (A or B) to the respective other processing line (B or A) to one of the processing rows (A1, A2, B1, B2) available there. The circuit arrangements (8A, 8B) are controlled in such a manner that one of the two processing lines (A or B) is active and the respective other processing line is switched to a standby mode so that the data traffic waiting at the N uplink interfaces (E1, UP) can be handled via one of the two processing lines (A or B).

A working call controller 11 (12) changes its operating mode to a standby mode when it is not carrying out call processing at system switching for management, and to a transient working mode when it is carrying out call processing at system switching for the management to continue the call processing. A standby call controller 12 (11) changes its operating mode to a working mode when the other call controller 11 (12) enters the standby mode, and to a transient working mode when the other call controller 11 (12) enters the transient working mode. One of the call controllers 11 and 12 in the transient working mode, receiving the call control signal of a new call, carries out the call processing of the new call exclusively.

A telecommunications system and method is disclosed in which a high-availability intelligent node maintains the synchronization of data between various nodes by utilizing both an index manager to administer and manage indices associated with the location of stored data and a data transfer function (DTF) to manage persistent dynamic data updates between nodes. For data updates, a DTF batch transfer function, receives, from the index manager, the data update information and stores the entry in a buffer, which is then forwarded to a DTF batch transfer function residing on another (standby) node. The DTF batch transfer function residing on the non-master node receives the message buffer from the master DTF batch transfer function and stores the values in the indexed memory location specified for that entry. In addition, at startup or reinitialization of the nodes, a DTF bulk transfer function on both the master and standby nodes can be used to achieve synchronization of data.

A method of provisioning databases in a telecommunications system includes storing data for a telephony service in a plurality of redundant database nodes. An operation to be performed in the redundant database nodes is received and broadcast to the redundant database nodes for execution. Responses are received from the redundant database nodes. Each response includes an identification of the redundant database node transmitting the response and a result of executing the operation in the redundant database node. The results of the responses are automatically stored. In response to an event, the stored results are automatically queried to determine a status of the operation. The status of the operation is automatically reported.

A redundancy switch (44) provides interfacing of network signals to spare network processors (46) in the event of a failure of a main network processor (42). A redundancy switch (44) allows for monitoring and diagnostic operations to be performed on network electrical signals without interrupting traffic flow on inbound and outbound paths. A redundancy switch (44) performs a loopback diagnostic by routing signals from transmitter portions of the spare network processors (46) to selected receiver portions. The redundancy switch (44) includes a receiver interface unit (90) and a transmitter interface unit (92) capable of routing inbound and outbound customer signals to and from the spare processors (46) for monitoring, diagnostic, and sparing purposes.

Multiprozessor-Zentralsteuereinheit eines Vermittlungssystemes mit einem Hauptspeicher(CMY) mit in Normalbetriebszeiten - abgesehen von einem evtl. tolerierten gewissen Schlupf - in sich mikrosynchron parallel betriebenen Speicherblockpaaren(MB3a/MB3b). An ein zentrales Bussystem (B:CMY0,B:CMY1) ist der Hauptspeicher(CMY) zusammen mit den, jeweils Vermittlungsaufträge bearbeitenden zentralen Prozessoren(BP, CP .... IOC.....) angeschlossen. Die in den Speicherblöcken jedes Speicherblockpaares(z.B. MB3a/MB3b) parallel gespeicherten Informationen sind EDC-gesichert. Die Prozessoren haben auf Speicherblockpaare(z.B. MB3a/ MB3b) Zugriff. Nach einem Mehrfachfehler in einem, genannt zweiten, Speicherblock(z.B. MB3b) eines Speicherblockpaares(MB3a/MB3b) wird durch eine automatische Speicherkonfiguration der zweite Speicherblock(MB3b) vom Bussystem(B:CMY0/B:CMY1) abgetrennt. Dann führt alleine der erste Speicherblock(MB3a) den Lese- und/oder Schreibbetrieb durch, während nach und nach die in dem zweiten Speicherblock(MB3b) gespeicherten Informationen durch Lesen aus dem ersten Speicherblock(MB3a) und Schreiben in den zweiten Speicherblock(MB3b) korrigiert werden, aber während eines gleichzeitigen Schreibbetriebes des ersten Speicherblockes (MB3a) die einzuschreibende Information sofort unter derselben Adresse auch in den zweiten Speicherblock (MB3b) geschrieben wird. Zur automatischen Speicherkonfiguration ist ein speichereigenes, - ebenfalls abgesehen von einem evtl. tolerierten gewissen Schlupf - mikrosynchron parallel betriebenes Speicherkonfigurations-Prozessorpaar(SpP0/SpP1), dessen Betrieb EDC- oder Paritiybit-überprüft wird, direkt statt über das zentrale Bussystem(B:CMY0 /B:CMY1) an den Hauptspeicher(CMY) angeschlossen.
摘要:
In a telecommunication system with a number of units (Ula-Una, U1b-Unb) for control purposes and also for subscriber facilities, each such unit is duplicated, as is the system controller (SCa, Scb). There are two local area networks (1,3) each of which interconnects one system controller and one unit of each pair of units. When one network is to be isolated, e.g. for servicing or when a fault occurs. its controller detects that condition, and isolates that network by relay circuitry in the termination (T2,T3) of the bus. Another version of the system uses local area networks of the closed ring type. In certain cases the units, etc., may be triplicated.
