A system for managing network alarms generated by element manager modules responsive to corresponding faults/malfunctioning affecting network nodes or links of a telecommunication network is provided. The system may include an alarm management platform for gathering network alarms and generating a first set of network alarms comprising at least a subset of the gathered network alarms; a network operator unit arranging the network alarms into a network alarm table, and managing the faults/malfunctioning affecting the network nodes or links corresponding to the network alarms; an alarm prediction module receiving from the alarm management platform an alarm duration prediction request about a predicted duration of a selected network alarm and alarm data regarding the selected network alarm and generating an alarm duration prediction about the predicted duration by processing alarm data regarding the selected network alarm through a first machine learning algorithm trained with alarm data regarding past network alarms.

A method and system for providing a wireless communication network for a smart device are provided, the device including wireless communication circuitry, the method including: analyzing information regarding a plurality of hotspots in a geographic area in which the device is deployed, each hotspot being configured to establish a wireless communication within a predetermined range; estimating, based on the analyzing, an extent of coverage provided by the plurality; checking, based on the estimating, whether at least one hotspot is able to provide the communication to the device, and if so, configuring the hotspot to provide the communication, otherwise modifying an operating behavior of a selected hotspot in order to provide the communication, the modifying including selecting the hotspot from the plurality, sending a request for modifying an operating behavior of the selected hotspot to provide the communication, and verifying that the operating behavior has been modified.

Methods and systems for opportunistically connecting devices to a communication network

A wireless network includes permanently powered routing nodes and intermittently operating routing nodes. A polling procedure is used for transferring routing and data information packets from a permanently powered routing node to an intermittently operating routing node. In particular, when the permanently powered routing node has to transmit an information packet to the intermittently operating routing node, it stores the information packet in a memory; it waits until the intermittently operating routing node is able to receive information packets; and then it transmits the information packet to the intermittently operating routing node, and when the intermittently operating routing node has to transmit an information packet to the permanently powered routing node, it transmits immediately the information packet to the permanently powered routing node.

A system includes a plurality of networked nodes spatially distributed within a monitored area and adapted to interact with a mobile entity entering and moving through the area, the plurality of nodes including at least one area entrance node adapted to detect the mobile entity upon entering the monitored area, and a transaction node for accomplishing a transaction with the mobile entity; a transaction processing center in communication relationship with the nodes for processing data required for the transaction and for providing the data to the transaction node. A node selection unit is adapted to dynamically select the transaction node among the plurality of nodes based on an estimation of the speed of movement of the mobile entity.

Sensor network including spatially distributed sensor nodes in an area for detection of mobile entities in the area

A source node estimates not only the schedule time offset of the destination node but also the clock drift of the destination node. In this way, the source node may choose very accurately the transmission start time of an information packet to this destination node so that typically only one very short preamble needs to be transmitted. The estimation of time offset and clock drift between two nodes is achieved through tone or more previous transmissions between these two nodes, in particular, information relating to these parameters is transmitted from the destination node to the source node in reply to a preamble transmitted by the source node to the destination node.
