  • Method and apparatus of implementing an internet protocol signaling concentrator
    Patent number: 8750093
    Abstract: Communication between base station controllers and a mobile switching center may be provided by a consolidating device that operates between the BSCs and the MSCs. One example method of operation may include initiating an active process on an active network device and a standby process on a redundant network device configured as a backup to the active network device. Other operations may include receiving a data message from at least one base station controller on the active network device, and detecting a communication failure by at least one of the active process and the standby process, in response to the received data message. Other operations may include automatically configuring the redundant network device to become the active network device.
