  • Patent number: 9351231
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture to determine connectivity are disclosed. An example method includes identifying a radio network controller serving a NodeB, identifying a first connection between the NodeB and an integrated access device, identifying a virtual circuit communicatively coupling the integrated access device and a mobile service node, identifying a second connection between the integrated access device and network termination equipment, identifying a third connection between the network termination equipment and an Ethernet aggregation node, identifying, with the processor, that a pathway between the radio network controller and the NodeB includes the first, second, and third connections, and storing the pathway between the radio network controller and the NodeB.

  • Patent number: 9204360
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture to determine connectivity are disclosed. An example method includes identifying, with a processor, a radio network controller serving a NodeB based on a configuration of the NodeB; identifying, with the processor, a set of intermediate nodes forming a pathway between the radio network controller and the NodeB; and storing the pathway between the radio network controller and the NodeB based on the radio network controller and the intermediate nodes.

  • Patent number: 8873946
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed that allows for the monitoring, analyzing and reporting on performance, availability and quality of optical network paths. The correlation of PM parameter metrics to client connections, coupled with threshold-based alarm generation provides a proactive and predictive management, reporting and analyzing of the health and effectiveness of individual path connections to alert Operational Support (OS) staff and/or customers to signal degradation and impending Network Element (NE) failures. The system and method performs in real-time processing intervals required for alarm surveillance in a telecommunications network.

  • Patent number: 7991872
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described that vertically integrate telecommunications network management across multiple transport domains and network layers to support E2E network management. Embodiments vertically integrate telecommunications network management across multiple transport layers such as physical layers (optical), data link layers (Ethernet), and upper layers (VLAN), and establish an inventory database for the plurality of transport layers in a network management OSS to integrate and correlate network alarms and other business applications. Embodiments provide a single platform for an E2E network management solution across and for multiple transport domains.
