Title:
PARALLEL PROCESSING ARCHITECTURE FOR ALARM MANAGEMENT NETWORK ENTITIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002021260
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
In an Alarm Management System (AMS) a method and a management network entity for forwarding and processing Alarm Information (AI) such as alarm notifications and alarm lists. The management network entity, that may be an Alarm Collector (AC), receives the AI from an upstream network entity such as an Alarm Reporter (AR) or another AC in a Forwarding Process (FP) that relays the AI concomitantly to at least one downstream network entity and to a Verification Process (VP) that synchronizes the internal Alarm List (IAL) of the management network entity. The forwarding of the AI may include filtering the AI based on the preferences of the downstream network entity. The FP and the VP are separated processes, software modules or software applications, that may run in parallel on the same, or on separated processors.
