Patent number: 10142888Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling near real time analysis of data for a wireless communication network using dynamic allocation backend processing resources. The method comprises, at each of a plurality of distributed components of a data processing system, receiving data from at least one network element of the cellular communication network, parsing the received data to extract a subset of the received data, and forwarding the extracted subset of data to the dynamic allocation backend processing resources for analytical processing of the extracted subset of data for the wireless communication network.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2017Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: VIAVI Solutions UK LimitedInventors: Nicholas James Randell, Peter Kenington, Christopher Drawater

Patent number: 9767105Abstract: A method of managing data for at least one wireless communication network and a data management system for implementing such a method are provided. The method comprises determining at least one free space metric for at least one data storage device and comparing the at least one determined free space metric for the at least one data storage device to at least one threshold value. If the at least one determined free space metric for the at least one data storage device exceeds the at least one threshold value, the method further comprises identifying data object groups represented by data objects stored within the at least one data storage device, determining a retention priority value for each identified data object group, determining at least one data object group for which to retire data objects based at least partly on the determined retention priority values, and retiring data objects within the determined at least one data object group from the at least one data storage device.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2013Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Viavi Solutions UK LimitedInventors: Nicholas James Randell, Peter Kenington, Christopher Drawater
