Service assurance using real-time monitoring, management and maintenance capabilities is enabled to provide customers and vendors with information related to the state of the service. The service assurance domain implements end-to-end functionality with a level of granularity sufficient to diagnose issues to the device and call/session level.

Systems and methods for real-time service assurance

A system and methods for providing service assurance using real-time monitoring, management and maintenance capabilities to provide customers and vendors with information related to the state of the service. The service assurance domain implements end-to-end functionality with a level of granularity sufficient to diagnose issues to the device and call/session level.

Key performance indicators for self-organizing networks are dynamically updated and/or selected. A method includes evaluating a network condition, ranking key performance indicators (KPIs) based on the network condition resulting in ranking information, and determining weights of executing sets of instructions. The determining is based on the ranking and an association between the executing sets of instructions and the KPIs associated with the ranking information. Another method includes evaluating a network condition, and changing a value of a target of a KPI from a first value to a second value based on a change in the network condition from a first network condition to a second network condition. Another method includes evaluating a network condition, determining weighting factors for respective KPIs, wherein the weighting factors are based on evaluation of the network condition, and generating composite KPI information based, at least, on applying the weighting factors to the respective KPIs.

Facilitating adaptive key performance indicators in self-organizing networks

A system and method for redirecting or duplicating a media flow to one or more alternative media presentation devices and providing updated quality of service parameters to the application server providing the media flow. The user of a mobile communication device can manually initiate the media flow change or the user can configure the media flow change to automatically transfer based on the proximity of the mobile communication device to the alternative media presentation device. If desired, the media flow can be reverted to the mobile communication device. A media flow can also be divided, such as by audio and video to different alternative media presentation devices.
