  • Patent number: 8205244
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for generating, managing, and displaying alarms associated with monitoring a wireless network. Advantageously, the present disclosure provides one alarm per security event, and the ability to see an event in context over time and aggregate information. This results in a significant reduction in alarm volume for wireless monitoring which increases manageability and reduces storage requirements. Further, this provides better security by avoiding the “needle in the haystack” problem where you see few actionable alarms rather than being flooded by multiple copies of the same event over time. Finally, the present disclosure provides improved system scalability with large deployments by managing alarms through lesser alarm volume, and through visual representation.

  • Publication number: 20110314512
    Abstract: A method for security and monitoring within a worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) network includes monitoring, by one or more sensors, communications activity on one or more channels; analyzing, by either one or more sensors directly or a server provided with reports of the monitored communication activity for detection of one or more system incidents; and triggering, in response to detection of one or more incidents, an incident notification.
