Telecom Management System Big Data Integration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current management systems for telecommunication networks struggle to incorporate and process big data effectively, as they are not designed to handle all possible managed objects and cannot anticipate outcomes, leading to inefficiencies in infrastructure management and traffic routing optimization.
Innovation Solution
A method and system where a management system receives and updates managed objects with aggregated data from a big-data system via an API, allowing external data to be used for managing infrastructure, and adapting control protocols like OSPF weights based on external data sources, such as weather or event data, to optimize traffic routing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a management system incorporates all possible big data from external sources, then the completeness and accuracy of infrastructure management data is improved, but the system complexity and data processing burden increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the management system into two independent parts: a big-data system that collects and processes external data, and a management system that uses aggregated data for decision-making. This segmentation allows the management system to access comprehensive information without bearing the complexity of raw data processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary aggregation layer that translates diverse external data into standardized managed objects. This intermediary component handles data normalization and integration, shielding the management system from data source complexity while maintaining data completeness.
2Measurement precision
If a management system processes all raw big data directly, then the accuracy of management decisions is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary data aggregation and processing in the big-data system before data reaches the management system. Managed objects are pre-computed and prepared in advance, allowing the management system to make accurate decisions using ready-to-use aggregated data without time-consuming processing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the management system model anticipates all possible managed objects at design time, then the system can handle all infrastructure components, but the model becomes obsolete as infrastructure evolves rapidly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the management system model from a static, pre-defined structure to a dynamic system that automatically adapts to new infrastructure components. The big-data system continuously discovers and aggregates new data sources into managed objects, allowing the model to evolve with the infrastructure without requiring redesign.
4Ease of manufacture
If a typical performance-by-design management system is used, then the system structure is simple and maintainable, but the system cannot handle big data volumes without performance degradation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges a traditional management system with a separate big-data system, combining the simplicity and maintainability of performance-by-design systems with the high processing capacity of big-data infrastructure. The two systems work together through standardized interfaces, maintaining ease of operation while handling large data volumes.
