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: Systems and methods discussed herein are associated with network data element maintenance, including determining access times for the collection of network element data, as well as delivering and analyzing real-time data to detect and avoid collisions between parties who desire to access network elements. The systems and methods used herein may also determine the most effective command to execute in response to different faults on network elements in order to automatically resolve faults in a more efficient manner.
