  • Telecommunications network management method and system
    Patent number: 6349334
    Abstract: The invention relates to a management method and a management system for managing a telecommunications network. The system comprises a database including information about the managed network, said information being in the form of objects that relate to the network elements to be managed and in the form of references between the different objects, said references indicating the dependencies between the objects. To provide a rapidly operating system in which arbitrary circular dependencies between the objects can easily be coped with to decide when an object can be unlocked to allow any part of the system to change said object, an auxiliary data structure that has no cyclic dependencies between its objects is added to the system and this auxiliary data structure is utilized to decide when an object can be unlocked.

  • Telecommunications network management system
    Patent number: 6222827
    Abstract: A system for managing a telecommunications network comprises a core part storing all objects used by the system as master copies, and at least one peripheral part containing applications stored in the user workstation, through which applications the services of the system are offered to the user, each peripheral part having separately stored copies of objects used by the applications of the peripheral part concerned. The actions made by an application and the changes resulting from said actions are recorded, and an indication of the actions is transmitted from the application to the core part. When the network to be managed sends an indication of a change, the indication is transmitted to those applications that have copies of the objects to which the change relates.

  • Telecommunications network management system
    Patent number: 6070188
    Abstract: In a system for managing a telecommunications network the transmission network to be managed is connected to the management system by means of interface processes in such a way that devices used in the network are classified into different device categories (MD, SXC, SDH), the system comprising for each device category an interface process (IPI-IP3) which converts a device belonging to the concerned device category so that it appears, as viewed from the direction of the management system, as a generic basic device corresponding to a device represented by corresponding objects within the management system.
