20080313317 | Network Management Using Peer-to-Peer Protocol - A method operates a network management system comprising nodes which are used as manager and/or agent nodes. At least one node communicates with at least one other node using a peer-to-peer protocol. A network management system and a node in a management network system are used to carry out said method. | 12-18-2008 |
20090046599 | INTEGRATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND METHOD FOR INTEGRATING A NETWORK NODE INTO A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - Exemplary embodiments of integration apparatus, communication network and method for integrating a network node into a communication network can be provided. For example, an integration apparatus for integrating a network node into a communication network may include a monitoring device, a policy device, an identifying manager device, a linking manager device, a commissioning manager device. The monitoring device can be configured to detect activating of the network node within the communication network. The identifying manager device can be configured to identify the activated network node. Furthermore, the identifying manager device may be further configured to receive a policy from the policy device. Such exemplary policy may be configured to facilitate an integration of the identified network node into the communication network. The linking manager device can be configured to establish a link between the network node and at least the integration apparatus. Further, the commissioning manager device can be configured to use the link to configure the network node in accordance with the policy. | 02-19-2009 |
20100046379 | OPERATING NETWORK ENTITIES IN A COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - Network entities in a communications system include one hierarchical level of a management network of the communications system, where fault and/or performance management related data is sent. A first network entity sends such data to at least one second network entity after the at least one second network entity is determined based on a configuration management relationship with the first network entity. | 02-25-2010 |
20100103823 | Operating network entities in a communications system comprising a management network with agent and management levels - The present invention relates to operating of network entities in a communications system, wherein said communications system comprises a management network with agent and management levels, wherein a fault and/or performance management related data provided or occurring in an agent level is correlated and/or analyzed in said agent level with further fault and/or performance management related data provided or occurring in said agent level by use of configuration management relationships in said agent level, and wherein an information derived from the correlation is transmitted to at least one management level of said management network of said communications network being responsible for management of the corresponding agent level. | 04-29-2010 |
20100142403 | DISCOVERY AND CONFIGURATION METHOD FOR A NETWORK NODE - A method for discovering neighboring network nodes by a network node connected to a configuration server, wherein said configuration servers compares geographical coordinates of the network node with geographical coordinates of other network nodes stored in a data base and transmits a set of identifiers of matching neighboring network nodes to said network node. | 06-10-2010 |
20130028139 | ESTABLISHING CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN A RELAY NODE AND A CONFIGURATION ENTITY - A method of establishing connectivity between a relay node and an OAM entity in a communications network, the method comprising the steps of: establishing a connection between the relay node and a user plane of the communications network; addressing communications to the OAM entity defined as residing in an OAM subnet via a gateway in the user plane; and routing the communications from the user plane to the OAM subnet. | 01-31-2013 |
20130035033 | Relay Nodes - A method of establishing a relay connection between a relay node and a neighbouring base station includes the steps of: changing the mode of operation of a base station so that it is capable of operating as a relay node; and establishing an in-band wireless backhaul relay link between the base station operating as a relay node and the neighbouring base station. | 02-07-2013 |
20140040450 | COORDINATION IN SELF-ORGANIZING NETWORKS - To decide, whether or not a SON function instance is allowed to execute, a priority, an impact time and an impact area for the SON function instance is determined, and priorities of other SON function instances scheduled to be run during the impact time of the requesting SON function instance and having an overlapping impact area are compared to the priority of the requesting SON function instance. | 02-06-2014 |
20140342721 | MANAGING A NETWORK ELEMENT - A method for managing a network element involves receiving via a first interface field data from a communication network. The field data is compared with available network status data such, that a difference between network status data and field data can be determined. A configuration data is generated such that the configuration data are adapted to align the network status data and the field data. Then, a corresponding network element for receiving the configuration data is determined and the configuration data is distributed via a first interface to a corresponding network element. | 11-20-2014 |
