摘要： In a telecommunications network, to provide both statistical reporting functions and reporting on a call by call detail basis, a "TRAFFICVIEW" Server (TVS) system is incorporated with a MCI Traffic Statistics (MTS) system. The TVS is responsive to instructions provided by subscribers so that reports may be provided on a given time period, at a given frequency and in a particular format, as instructed by the subscribers. Standard reports are delivered via E-Mail, fax or hard copy. A subscriber may obtain a static view of the traffic for a special service call number by communicating with the TVS. Moreover, a remote subscriber may download from the TVS a data file which contains raw call details and statistics that he can import to his own reports. Alternatively, a remote subscriber may link up with a real time statistics (RTS) system so that he can monitor the operation of the network, as it relates to calls directed to the subscriber's special service call numbers, in real time. Different types of call detail reports may be generated from the TVS.

摘要： A system and method for providing different levels of mobile communication service for a mobile station within a communication system service area. A plurality of base transceiver stations (BTSs) are coupled to a common database. Each BTS has a cellular service area for communicating with the mobile station, a unique identification, and is located with respect to other base transceiver stations for defining a plurality of overlapping cellular service areas which collectively define the service area of the communication system. The common database has a memory for storing data related to a home geographical location associated with the mobile station, and the identity of the BTSs having service areas overlapping the home geographical location. The geometric shapes of the service areas overlapping the home geographical location of the mobile station define a home calling area. A first level of service is provided to the mobile station when the mobile station is inside the home calling area, and a second level of service when the mobile station is outside of the home calling area. The second level of service may be defined by the identities of additional BTSs for providing a third level of service beyond the service areas of these additional BTSs.

摘要： A method and related system dynamically determines the location of a network outage in a telecommunications network. A plurality of alarm generating network equipments are located at spaced sites along the network. Alarms are generated upon the detection of problems with a signal passing through continuous signal trunks connected between the alarm generating network equipments. The alarm data from the alarm generating network equipments is connected at a single point. Network topology data is stored in a database, defining the relative locations of the alarm generating network equipments in the network and their respectively connected trunks. The alarmed equipment ports are correlated with respective connected alarmed trunks from data obtained in the database as well as collected alarm data. The alarmed trunks are analyzed for identifying the corresponding minimum number of alarm generating network equipments that exist between the alarmed trunks thereby defining effected inter-equipment trunks. The alarmed trunks passing through a particular inter-equipment trunk are analyzed. The analysis then establishes a minimum common span of all alarmed trunks that pass through the inter-equipment trunk, and along which the outage occurs.

摘要： The Flexible Enhanced Signaling Subsystem (FESS) performs table-driven processing of incoming and outgoing messages and also handles multiple message types and trunk groups. A message received by the FESS is first processed by an incoming signaling module which performs all necessary transformations to the message to enable the existing switch processing to handle any incoming message. The incoming signaling module, being table-driven, can be easily modified to handle any new message types which may be created. The message is then processed by an intermediate signaling module which includes the existing call processing, The intermediate signaling module may pass through messages, or it may generate new messages. In either case, an outgoing signaling module performs all necessary transformations to messages output from the intermediate signaling module to enable the outgoing trunk, downline switch or downline network to handle the message properly.

摘要： A method and apparatus for emulating a digital cross-connect (DXC) network fully tests a telecommunication network monitoring and control system (MCS). The communication and behavior of a digital cross-connect switching network are emulated in the presence and absence of selected network configurations, failures, and/or normalizations. A communication module communicates with the MCS through emulator control links using a communications protocol substantially identical to a communications protocol used in the emulated digital cross-connect network. A configuration database stores configuration data representing the current behavior of the DXC nodes. A topology database stores topology data representative of the topology of the emulated DXC network. An emulator message generator generates messages emulating communications from DXC nodes to the MCS. An emulator link selector further selects an enabled emulator control link depending upon whether respective emulated network control links are enabled. Intelligent emulator responses are generated and sent based on the current configuration and/or topology data which take into account any selected user-input to emulate solicited and unsolicited responses by actual digital cross-connect network nodes to MCS commands and audits. Simulated multi-tasking and dynamic user-interface control options are included. Finally, different types of digital cross-connect switching networks and systems are emulated to test an MCS including: DXC 3/3, DXC 3/1, and/or DXC 1/0 networks.

摘要： A system and method for restoration of a disrupted telecommunications path between a source node and a destination node via at least one tandem node. The operation of the present invention proceeds in five phases: notification, broadcast, path trace-out, confirmation and cleanup. In the notification phase, the path's source and destination nodes are notified of the disruption. In the broadcast phase, the network is flooded with PACK messages to locate restoration paths; selective rebroadcasting of the PACK messages limits the volume of restoration message traffic. In the path trace-out phase, bandwidth is conservatively reserved along the restoration paths indicated by the PACK messages. In the confirmation phase, restoration paths are built up step-wise along the traced-out paths, thereby restoring the disrupted path between the source and destination nodes. In the clean-up phase, all of the network resources that were allocated to restoration of the disrupted path, and that are no longer needed, are released.

摘要： A system and method for evaluating video fidelity by calculating information frame rate. A time mechanism is sampled to obtain a time video signal. A visual excitation device is also sampled to obtain an information video signal. The time video signal is superimposed over the information video signal to produce a combined video signal. The combined video signal is transmitted over a system under test (SUT). The signal that exits the SUT is called a processed video signal. The processed video signal is analyzed to determined the information frame rate of the SUT.

摘要： A system for analyzing communication network events on a historical basis based on records received from the network. A data processing system is connected via a first communications co-processor to a node of the network, permitting access to the node processor event log. In response to an inquiry sent from the data processing system, the events are collected as they are reported to the node processor. A record of the events is made in a table corresponding to the particular type of event received. The records in all tables may be sorted based on dates supplied by a system operator. The sorted records comprise a report identifying particular network elements which constituted an event during the reporting period.

摘要： The hierarchical data distribution system (HDDS) includes a top level master database system, bottom level client servers, each with its own database copy, and at least one intermediate database level. HDDS is an event driven pusher type system. The entry of update data into the system invokes the distribution process. First, the master database system is updated. Then, the master database system updates several database systems at the first intermediate database level. Each database system at the first intermediate database level then updates several database systems at the next lower database level. This may be a lower level intermediate level or it may be client servers. This process continues until the lowest level database systems, the client servers, have been updated. The distribution process performs any necessary reformatting, data assembly and data view processing before transmitting the update data. Each higher level database system must update fewer lower level servers and overall update performance is improved. If communications to a destination server are not functional, the distribution system detects this immediately because it is unable to establish communications with the destination server. Transitional inconsistency is reduced because the distribution process is invoked for all destination servers at the same time. System resources are not wasted because communications are only established when there is data to be updated.

摘要翻译： 分级数据分发系统（HDDS）包括顶级主数据库系统，底层客户端服务器，每个都具有自己的数据库副本，以及至少一个中间数据库级别。 HDDS是一种事件驱动型推杆式系统。 将更新数据输入到系统中调用分发过程。 首先，更新主数据库系统。 然后，主数据库系统在第一个中间数据库级别更新多个数据库系统。 第一个中间数据库级别的每个数据库系统都会更新下一个较低数据库级别的多个数据库系统。 这可能是较低级别的中间级别，也可能是客户端服务器。 此过程一直持续到最低级数据库系统（客户端服务器）已更新。 在发送更新数据之前，分发过程执行任何必要的重新格式化，数据组合和数据视图处理。 每个更高级别的数据库系统必须更新较低级别的服务器，并且整体更新性能得到改善。 如果与目的地服务器的通信不起作用，则由于无法与目标服务器建立通信，所以分发系统会立即检测到这一点。 因为同时为所有目标服务器调用分发过程，所以过渡性不一致会减少。 系统资源不会浪费，因为只有当有更新数据时才建立通信。
