Wireless Network Alarm De-Duplication by Status and Time
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional alarm monitoring systems in wireless networks face inefficiencies due to the high number of alarms, leading to increased time consumption, labor, and operational costs, with repeated or similar alarms causing further wastage of time and storage, and lacking effective methods to reduce the number of alarms.
Innovation Solution
An alarm monitoring device that de-duplicates alarms by merging second alarm events with first alarm events based on current status and time period differences, and separately inserts alarms not within the predefined time period, reducing the number of alarms to monitor and analyze.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional methods monitor and analyze multiple alarms, then alarm monitoring coverage is improved, but time consumption and labor requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes duplicate alarm events from the alarm stream by comparing alarm parameters and identifying repetitions. This extraction process eliminates redundant alarms while preserving unique alarm events, thereby reducing time consumption without compromising monitoring coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer between alarm generation and alarm analysis that performs de-duplication. This intermediary component filters repeated alarms before they reach the analysis stage, reducing the workload on analysis resources while maintaining complete monitoring coverage
2Productivity
If multiple servers are used to monitor alarms, then monitoring capacity is improved, but operational costs and labor usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the de-duplication function into a single processing unit that operates on the alarm stream. By combining multiple alarm processing capabilities into one integrated system with de-duplication, the patent reduces the number of servers needed while maintaining or improving monitoring capacity through intelligent alarm filtering
3Measurement precision
If all alarms are stored and analyzed, then analysis accuracy is improved, but storage requirements and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only unique alarm events from the complete alarm stream by identifying and removing duplicates based on alarm parameters. This extraction ensures that storage contains only necessary alarm data for accurate analysis, eliminating redundant storage requirements while preserving analysis accuracy

AI summary
Embodiments herein disclose a method and alarm monitoring device (200) for alarm monitoring and de-duplicating alarms in a wireless network (100). The method comprises receiving a first alarm event (404) and second alarm events from a plurality of devices (100A-100N) in the wireless network. The method further comprises de-duplicating the second alarm events by merging the second alarm events with the first alarm event (404) based on a retrieved current status of the first alarm event (404) when the second alarm events are received within a predefined time period. The method further comprises inserting the second alarm events separately in a database based on the retrieved current status of the first alarm event (404) when the second alarm events are not received within the predefined time period.
