Latest Patents
Brehm's latest patents include a "System and method for monitoring service quality in a communications network." This invention discloses a system and method for generating service quality statistics for a communications network. Network monitors capture messages in a communications network, such as an SS7 network, and correlate related messages into records. The records are filtered using a call detail record profile to create call detail records, which are provided to a statistics server. The statistics server generates certain statistics for the message records and stores the statistics in a database. A report application recalls the statistics from the database and presents them in a user-configured reporting format. The reports indicate the statistical performance of network providers for selected called or calling telephone numbers or for selected services.
Another patent by Brehm is also titled "System and method for monitoring service quality in a communications network." This invention focuses on monitoring service quality using Call Detail Records (CDR) in a communications network, such as a Signaling System No. 7 (SS7) network. Network monitors capture substantially all signaling units in the SS7 network, generating a complete record for all calls, transactions, and other communications over the network. Users can configure CDR profiles to filter the records, and a CDR application parses out signaling unit components selected by the user. The selected message components are formatted into a CDR record, which is sent to an external system that generates statistics for the message records and stores them in a database. The reports generated indicate the statistical performance of network providers for selected called or calling telephone numbers or for selected services. The CDRs and statistics are available to users either in real-time or in response to a query of historical CDR data.
