METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR VISUALIZATION OF ALARMS IN A NETWORKFIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of wireless communication networks such as fifth generation (5G), or sixth generation (6G) networks. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for implementation of visualization of alarm(s) for different scenarios in a wireless communication network.BACKGROUND

[0002] The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art.

[0003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. The third generation (3G) technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users.

[0004] Furthermore, the wireless communication technology has enabled the network service providers to cater millions of users simultaneously, but the need of providing efficient services to such users has also led to various challenges for the network service providers. For instance, to provide the users seamless services, the network service providers need to continuously monitor the functioning of the network nodes to detect abnormal functioning at such nodes.

[0005] Also, in telecommunication network systems, an Element Management System, referred as EMS is the vendor equipment which collects the data like Performance Data, Alert Messages like Alarms and Parameter related information, etc. from all network nodes parented to it. Every EMS has a defined capacity not only on the hardware front but also depends upon the capacity to handle the number of nodes on the software angle. Hence, for the large-scale network having millions of nodes there will be multitudes of EMS at National level installed across various geographies. In the absence of centralized platform of automation to monitor the alarms in the real time is humanly impossible and there may be a need to deploy huge manpower.

[0006] Further, over the period of time various solutions have been developed to improve the performance of the wireless communication networks and to monitor the alarms generated by various network nodes. However, there are certain challenges with existing solutions. For instance, in the existing systems there is an absence of a centralized platform of automation to monitor the alarms in a wireless communication network and the existing solutions also failed to provide an implementation of visualization of such alarms for different scenarios in the wireless communication network, wherein such limitation of the existing solutions the present disclosure aims to overcome.OBJECTS OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0050] As portable electronic devices and wireless technologies continue to improve and grow in popularity, the advancing wireless technologies for data transfer are also expected to evolve and replace the older generations of technologies. In the field of wireless data communications, the dynamic advancement of various generations of cellular technology are also seen. The development, in this respect, has been incremental in the order of second generation (2G), third generation (3G), fourth generation (4G), and now fifth generation (5G), and more such generations are expected to continue in the forthcoming time.

[0051] Radio Access Technology (RAT) refers to the technology used by mobile devices / user equipment (UE) to connect to a cellular network. It refers to the specific protocol and standards that govern the way devices communicate with base stations, which are responsible for providingthe wireless connection. Further, each RAT has its own set of protocols and standards for communication, which define the frequency bands, modulation techniques, and other parameters used for transmitting and receiving data. Examples of RATs include GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System), LTE (Long-Term Evolution), and 5G. The choice of RAT depends on a variety of factors, including the network infrastructure, the available spectrum, and the mobile device's / device's capabilities. Mobile devices often support multiple RATs, allowing them to connect to different types of networks and provide optimal performance based on the available network resources.

[0052] As discussed in the background section, the current known solutions have several shortcomings. The present disclosure aims to overcome the above-mentioned and other existing problems in this field of technology by providing methods and systems for implementation of visualization of alarms for different scenarios. Mainly, according to the present disclosure vendor EMSs (Element Management Systems) are connected to Centralized Automation Platform via NBI interface, i.e., North Bound Interface. The north bound interface refers to the interface or connection between the element management system and a system as disclosed in the present disclosure which enables transfer of the data between the two. Alarms are raised by the network nodes as and when it encounters the abnormal functioning in certain scenario and such alarms are collected in the form of messages by the Element Management System to which the nodes are parented. The Centralized Automation Platform collects all the alarm related messages which are streamed from different EMS and further these alarms are processed in a near real time and various attributes are added to these alarms like Outage Alarm, Performance Degradation alarm for the quick visibility for both, Network Operations Centre and Field Staff to take corrective action to resolve the issues, thereby improving the Network uptime and hence the customer experience.

[0053] This feature also enables not only the field staff and network operation center (NOC) operation team to have a quick visibility of the outage site but also customer care agent for dealing with the customer complaints and update the customer accordingly.

[0054] Furthermore, it is pertinent to note that the solution as disclosed in the present disclosure is not limited to the Radio network, the implementation can be adopted with zero development efforts to any technology 5G, 6G, etc, any Domain, viz., Transport, Core, Backhaul IP equipment’s like Routers, FTTX (Fiber to Home / Curb / Building), etc and also vendor agnostic.
