Description

[0001] A SYSTEM FOR PERIODICALLY ESTIMATING INTERSECTIONS ON THE ROUTES OF COMMUNICATION SERVICES

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] The present invention relates to a system for detecting Single Points of Failure (SPOF) by performing forward-looking estimation with kilometer information of the routes of services such as calls, short messages and Internet.

[0004] Background of the Invention

[0005] In mobile networks provided by telecommunication infrastructure, all national and international services (call, SMS, Internet) are designed in a redundant structure. If there is a physical commonality in the main and redundant routes of the services, there is a risk of losing the service completely (interruption of calls, inability to receive Internet service) in a single failure. It is necessary to contribute to the formation of a more robust and reliable network by minimizing these risks.

[0006] For this reason, it is understood that there is a need for a system for detecting Single Points of Failure (SPOF) by performing forward-looking estimation with kilometer information of the routes of services such as calls, short messages and Internet.

[0007] The United States patent document no. US11789624B1, an application included in the state of the art, discloses a system which is configured to detect single points of failure on a storage network. In the invention, an apparatus comprises a processing device comprising at least one processor, wherein this processor comprises a processor connected to a memory. The processing device is configured to control delivery of input-output operations from a host device to the first and second storage systems over selected ones of a plurality of paths through a network, to detect a single point of failure condition relating to a given one of the paths to a particular logical storage device in one of the first and second storage systems, and to determine whether or not the particular logical storage device is accessible in another one of the first and second storage systems. The processing device generates different types of notifications depending on whether or not the particular logical storage device is accessible in the other one of the first and second storage systems.

[0008] Summary of the Invention

[0009] An object of the present invention is to realize a system developed with the aim of detecting Single Points of Failure (SPOF) by performing forward-looking estimation with kilometer information of the routes of services such as short messages and Internet.
