Abstract: A mobile wireless communication network monitoring system. The system comprises at least one processor, a non-transitory memory, and an application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor, the application periodically receives data from a plurality of cell sites and, in response to receiving data from one of the cell sites, examines a selection of data items of the data from the one of the cell sites. The application further, in response to one of the selected data items having a trigger value, initiates a real-time command and control process that iteratively pulls data from the cell site associated with the one of the selected data items having the trigger value and presents the data pulled from the cell site in a real-time monitoring window of an operator workstation, whereby an operator exercises timely control of the cell site.

Abstract: A communication network operation center (NOC) network inventory data platform. The platform comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, a data store, and a plurality of applications and logic modules. The logic modules collect data from element management systems associated with network equipment. The applications convert the data to data structures and transcode the data structures in a common data format. The applications store the transcoded data structures in an inventory database. A NOC management application presents a network management view based on the inventory database.

Abstract: A system for validating wireless communication network inventory software. The system comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, and an application stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the application processes a first data set with the first version of the software system to produce an authoritative data store, processes the first data set with a second version of the software system to produce a first trial data store, and processes a second data set with the second version of the software system to produce a second trial data store, wherein the second data set comprises later data than the first data set, and responsive to determining that the first trial data store matches the authoritative data store and determining that the second trial data store does not match the authoritative data store, designates the second data set changed.

Abstract: A method for intelligent reset delay of cell sites in a network is disclosed. The method comprises a network server communicatively coupled to a network detecting a malfunction and malfunction type from an element in a cell site of the network. The malfunction type corresponds with an automatic reset for the element. The network server is determining that the malfunction is chronic, and in response, delaying automatic reset for the element in the cell site. Based on the malfunction, the network server is determining an amount of disruption impact to the cell site that would be triggered by at least pulling diagnostics data from the element. Based on the amount of disruption impact, the network server is pulling diagnostics data from the element prior to reset and remotely initiating reset for the element in the cell site.

Abstract: A cellular communication radio resource adaptor. The adaptor comprises a data store, at least one processor, a non-transitory memory, and an application. The application accesses a network management system (NMS) of an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) identified in an inventory of radio access network (RAN) equipment to read cell site equipment setting information. The application analyzes the cell site setting information and presents a map of an area overlaid with a graphical indication of the cellular communication radio resources owned or leased by a service provider and overlaid with a graphical indication of the cellular coverage areas by each cell site. The service provider may then adapt RAN equipment of the cell sites to efficiently use cellular communication radio resources.
