Method of controlling a network element to aggregate alarms and faults of a communications network

TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed method and system of controlling a communications network having a plurality of spans of interconnected network elements some of which include a network element processor distributes network topology information to respective span databases; stores original fault objects in the respective span database; advertises fault objects to other network element processors in a local span when the original fault affects network elements other than the network element in which the fault occurred.
Patent

Method and system for processing alarm objects in a communications network

TL;DR: In this article, a distributed method and system of controlling a communications network having a plurality of spans of interconnected network elements some of which include a network element processor distributes network topology information to respective span databases; stores original fault objects in the respective span database; advertises fault objects to other network element processors in a local span when the original fault affects network elements other than the network element in which the fault occurred.
Patent

Distributed intelligence wavelength division multiplexed network

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a distributed intelligence fiber-optic communication network in which node control processors associated with each network element periodically transmit identification and status information to the other NCPs in the network.
Patent

Span management system for wavelength division multiplexed network

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an optical network management system in which each network element exchanges identification and status information for performing various monitoring and control functions in the optical network, where a first network element coupled to the optical communication path includes a first processor and a first optical component.
Patent

Communications network and method performing distributed processing of fault and alarm objects

TL;DR: In this article, a distributed method and system of controlling a communications network having spans of interconnected network elements that distribute network topology information to respective span databases, advertise fault objects to other network elements in a local span when the original fault affects network elements, and perform distributed processing of the advertised fault and alarm objects with the other network element and the respective span database.
