Abstract:
A method for optimizing retrieval of node data from network nodes is disclosed. The method comprises obtaining, by a network server via a network, a node data set comprising node data from a plurality of middleware sources, where each of the plurality of middleware sources provides node data about the same network node. The network server is determining a fault in the node data received from one of the plurality of middleware sources, and identifying the middleware source associated with the fault. In response to determining the fault and middleware source, the network server is bypassing the middleware source associated with the fault and retrieving raw node data directly from an element management system associated with the network node.
Abstract:
A system for managing a cellular wireless communication network in near real time is disclosed. The system comprises a data store storing performance metrics in near real time and segmented according to base transceiver stations and record time. The system also comprises a computer and an application that receives a selection of a geographic area and a time period and identifies a predetermined quantity of base transceiver stations nearest the geographic area. The application also retrieves metrics associated with each of the identified base transceiver during the time period from the data store and retrieves the metrics most recently recorded for each identified base transceiver station. The application analyzes the metrics associated with each base transceiver station and compares the metrics associated with each base transceiver station with the most recently recorded metrics in order to identify that a value of a metric of a base transceiver station is outside a range.
Abstract:
A packet network troubleshooting system. The system comprises a processor, a memory, and a search tool stored in the memory. When executed by the processor, the search tool searches system log, router command, maintenance, alarm, and trouble ticket data stores based on a search request and presents the results in chronological order. The search tool determines search keys for each of the data stores based on the search request.
