The collection, processing, analysis and employment of real-time, call traffic event data in a wireless or radio telecommunications network is more effectively achieved by providing a continuous flow of real-time call traffic event data from a network element level or network level switch to an open, external processing platform over a standardized, open event interface. By continuously transferring call traffic event data to an open processing platform for processing, wherein the open processing platform is external to the network element level of network level switch, the central processing unit in the network element level or network level switch is more readily available to handle real-time critical operations. Once processed on the open, external processing platform, the call traffic event data can be used to support various network management functions to improve overall performance of the network.

Method and apparatus for radio network management

A distributed communications network management and control system is disclosed, which includes a real time control system composed of a plurality of control agents. The control agents receive real time performance information associated with the distributed communications network from a plurality of performance agents, analyze the real time performance information, and in due time, output control commands that control the performance of the distributed communications network based on the real time performance data received.

Performance management and control system for a distributed communications network

A telecommunications performance management system for processing, analyzing and abstracting performance data from a traffic machine ( ) in real time using a hierarchial structure of a performance agents ( ) connected to a user interface ( ) to ensure optimum network design and performance. Each agent ( ) transmits performance data to a supra agent ( ) and operates according to a subscription signal and associated delivery deadline received from the supra agent ( ).

Prioritized agent-based hierarchy structure for handling performance metrics data in a telecommunication management system

In a process a management information unit (MI) is produced by creating models of the management interface to be interworked. Each model has objects representing managed resources. Domain knowledge, an interface and a processor create mappings between equivalent parts of the models. The models and mappings from an information conversion function (ICF) which communicates using an internal protocol with a pair of message communication functions. The message communication functions perform format conversions and communicate with the interworked interfaces.
