A method for managing alarms in a network includes identifying a first set of alarms based on data in a knowledge base, determining at least one attribute for each alarm in the first set of alarms, generating a model based on the at least one attribute, and applying the model to manage alarms in the network. The at least one attribute includes at least one of a persistence time for one or more alarms in the first set of alarms, an alarm group derived from the first set of alarms, and predictions for alarms in the first set of alarms. The model may be adaptively updated to track changing network conditions relating to the alarms.

Management and control for IP and fixed networking

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for the generation and adaptation of network baselines are provided. One method may include generating predicted values for one or more network metrics over a future time period, generating a baseline for the network metric(s) using the predicted values and/or historic data, evaluating the network metric(s) to detect changes in network conditions using at least one time series analysis technique, and adapting the baseline to the detected changes in network conditions using historic data, machine learning and/or a time series analysis technique.

Methods and systems for generation and adaptation of network baselines

A dynamic reliability and security capability is provided. The dynamic reliability and security capability may be configured to support use of a dynamic reliability profile (DRP) that specifies the reliability parameters of a customer both as function of time and as a function of the requirements of the application or service of the customer. The reliability parameters may specify reliability requirements and/or goals of the customer, thereby providing a time varying requirements/goals profile. The dynamic reliability and security capability may be configured to dynamically configure the cloud resources to provide the required reliability as specified by the DRP. The RSG capability may be configured to subsequently monitor and meter the behavior to assure that the specified reliability is in fact being delivered, which may include use of self-healing capabilities to provide service assurance.

Providing dynamic reliability and security in communications environments

The invention includes a method and apparatus for reconfiguring a first base station element to attempt to serve at least a portion of the plurality of wireless terminals served by a second base station element in response to detection of a failure condition at a second base station element that was serving the plurality of wireless terminals prior to the occurrence of the failure condition.
