An apparatus for use in a communication network comprises a state machine capable of transitioning between a plurality of states. The plurality of states comprises at least two concurrent states. The state machine operates in the at least two concurrent states concurrently. Each of the concurrent states may be associated with a task. At least a portion of the task associated with one of the concurrent states may be performed concurrently with at least a portion of the task associated with another of the concurrent states when the state machine operates in the concurrent states.

A tool is provided for automated SNMP data generation. The tool includes a special header file operable to contain standard header file data and special comment data. The tool also includes an extractor, a MIB generator component, and an OIDInformation file. The extractor component is operable to convert the special header file into a managed object structure description file. The MIB generator component is operable to convert the managed object structure description file into a management information base file. The OIDInformation generator component is operable to convert the managed object structure description file into an OIDInformation file. The OIDInformation file is operable to retain and provide data related to a network resource.

Tool for data generation for simple network management protocol (SNMP)

A system for an in-service software upgrade is disclosed. The system consists of a processor, a first version of a software process, a second version of the software process, and a proxy software process. When executed by the processor, the proxy software process can intercept a message intended for the first version and direct the message to either the first version or the second version based on the status of a transaction associated with the message.

Interception proxy-based approach for in-service software upgrade

A method for providing efficient object-based network management is provided. The method includes receiving a request for a reference to an object that represents at least one managed network element. A determination is made regarding whether the object is currently activated. The object is activated based on the request for a reference to the object when the object is not currently activated.

Method and system for providing efficient object-based network management

A method for segmenting a data set is disclosed. The method consists of setting a maximum walker size and setting a walker size. Then, a first segment of data from the data set is obtained, wherein the first segment of data is the size of the walker. Then, a second segment of data from the data set is obtained, wherein the second segment of data is not greater than the maximum walker size.

An intelligence engine software architecture is disclosed. The architecture consists of a sensor layer, a knowledge processing layer, and an intelligence layer. The sensor layer can receive input data from a plurality of domains and convert the input data into a domain-independent format. The knowledge processing layer can identify a pattern in the domain-independent data and compare the domain-independent data to a previously identified pattern. The intelligence layer can make a prediction based on the comparison of the domain-independent data to the previously identified pattern, the intelligence layer is further operable to issue reports, events, and other information of interest to an operator.

Intelligence engine software architecture

An inventive method and apparatus includes a network of servers for providing information on a push basis to a user or consumer that desires to receive event driven information according to specified conditions. The types of push information include event driven information services as well as very targeted advertisements. An information server receives location information that identifies the specific location or Picocell within which the consumer mobile terminal has traveled. Then, a consumer profile is transmitted to vendors proximate to the mobile terminal location as a part of determining whether to transmit information or advertisements to the consumer. If the consumer profile specifies solicited advertisements only, advertisements may only be sent if they include products or services as identified in the consumer profile information.

Method delivering location-base targeted advertisements to mobile subscribers

There is disclosed a wireless communication system, including a distributed HLR, for tracking the location of mobile terminals moving between zones. There is also disclosed a method for distributing and managing the load created by the HLR functionality among a number of separate processing machines. The method permits dynamic load balancing among the HLRs to more evenly distribute the load.
