  • Method and system for provisioning facility-based displays in support of repairing outside network facilities
    Patent number: 7852780
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for providing facility-based aerial displays to field personnel in support of repairing outside network facilities. The invention relates to a method and system for displaying a series of selected frames to generate a display of surroundings within the vicinity of a cable break. Frames are selected and manipulated in accordance with a significance level which accepts or rejects the frame and in accordance with a set of display parameters selected by a dispatcher. The aerial display is compiled and displayed to support the assessment of the surroundings to be encountered by a repair crew.

  • SONET network outage impact measurement
    Patent number: 7848244
    Abstract: In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a method and apparatus is presented for determining minutes of outage. Information associated with a facility hierarchy is acquired. In one embodiment, the facility hierarchy is a SONET facility hierarchy. Outage is determined for each level in the hierarchy and a correlation is performed on the outages associated with each level in the hierarchy.

  • SONET outage impact measurement technique
    Patent number: 7440694
    Abstract: An accurate method of reporting “minutes of outage” for a SONET facility applies a set of business rules and hierarchical definitions to delete certain minutes that would otherwise be counted as “outages”. In particular, any outage minutes reported for a network element taken out of service for “planned maintenance” activities are removed prior to performing the final count. Additionally, outage minutes for a “lower level” element (such as, for example an OC1 element) that overlap in time with outage minutes reported for a “high level” element are likewise removed before the count is performed. The elimination of these non-service impacting outage minutes thus results in a more accurate reporting of the actual service impact of the counted outage minutes.
