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 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 method of managing a mobile communication radio access network (RAN). The method comprises reading information about network equipment from a network equipment inventory data store by an application executing on a computer system and, based on the information about network equipment read from the network equipment inventory data store, determining a backhaul network topology by the application, wherein a plurality of donor enhanced node B (eNB) devices provide backhaul communication coupling to one or more local exchange carrier (LEC) to a plurality of eNB devices. The method further comprises analyzing a performance history of the network equipment by the application based on the backhaul network topology and adapting a build-out of new equipment being added to extend the network equipment based on the analyzing of the performance history.

Abstract: A component aware maintenance alarm monitoring system for one or more cellular sites is disclosed. The system comprises an alarm database, an integrated inventory database, a maintenance activity, and a monitoring server comprising a monitoring application. The monitoring application receives alarms during a maintenance period. The maintenance period is associated with maintenance of one or more radio access network (RAN) components at a cellular site. The monitoring application evaluates the alarms based on accessing RAN component alarm information from the alarm database, RAN component inventory information from the integrated inventory database, and maintenance information from the maintenance activity database. During the maintenance period, the monitoring application selectively suppresses a subset of the alarms and takes a different action on at least one alarm not included in the subset based on the evaluation of the alarms.

Abstract: A method for dynamically creating and routing custom network records with a server system on a service provider network before session timeout is disclosed according to an embodiment. The server system assembles a custom mapping from a mapping data store, determines that a request corresponds with a quantity of event instances in a network record that exceeds a calculated threshold, and creates the custom mapping within each event instance of a network record while the network record is stored in a records data store. The method includes the server system generating the hierarchy within the custom mapping created at each event instance of the network record, initiating a plurality of threads, and determining, using the plurality of threads, a plurality of event instances based on the request and hierarchy generated. A plurality of custom network records are generated in a staging table stored outside of the records data store.

Abstract: A system for managing application service requests. The system processes requests using a first processor, stores a record of the requests in memory using a second processor, and counts the total number of requests received over a time interval using the second processor. If the total number of requests are less than a first threshold, the stored records are dropped. Otherwise, the stored records are analyzed to determine if requests from a single source Internet protocol address exceed a second threshold. If the number of requests from a single source Internet protocol address exceeds the second threshold, the subject Internet protocol address is blacklisted to a firewall through which the service requests pass before reaching the first processor. The requests are visible to the second processor before they are processed by the firewall.
Abstract translation: 用于管理应用程序服务请求的系统。 该系统使用第一处理器处理请求，使用第二处理器将请求的记录存储在存储器中，并且使用第二处理器对在一段时间间隔内接收到的请求的总数进行计数。 如果请求的总数小于第一个阈值，则删除存储的记录。 否则，分析存储的记录以确定来自单个源Internet协议地址的请求是否超过第二阈值。 如果来自单个源互联网协议地址的请求数量超过第二个阈值，则主机Internet协议地址被列入服务请求在到达第一处理器之前通过的防火墙。 在由防火墙处理之前，第二个处理器可以看到这些请求。

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 method of managing a wireless communication network. The method comprises collecting network performance data from enhanced node Bs (eNBs) by an application executing on a computer system and collecting user equipment (UE) performance data from UEs, where the UE performance data comprises self-location information at the time of a wireless coverage outage experienced by the UEs. The method further comprises, for each eNB, analyzing by the application network performance data associated with the eNB and UE performance data of wireless coverage outages experienced by UEs determined based on their self-location information to have been proximate to the eNB when its wireless coverage outage was experienced, and, based on the analysis of network performance data in combination with UE performance data, taking action to manage the wireless communication network.

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.
