Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems, devices, and methods for wireless local area network alarm notifications in cellular networks. Various embodiments may include an integration reference point agent in an element manager that receives an alarm notification according to a first format from an access point, converts the alarm notification to a second format, and send the converted alarm notification to an integration reference point manager. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.
Claims27
One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause an element manager to:
- determine a first alarm notification, received from a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP), includes an ifOperStatus object set to indicate that an operational status an interface associated with the WLAN AP is down;
- determine that the first alarm notification does not correspond to an active alarm in an alarm list stored at the element manager;
- and
- generate, based on determination that the first alarm notification includes an ifOperStatus object set to indicate that the operational status is down and determination that the first alarm notification does not correspond to an active alarm, a second alarm notification having a notifyNewAlarm notification type to notify an integration reference point (IRP) manager of a cellular network of a new alarm.
An apparatus comprising:
- receive circuitry to receive, from a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP), an alarm notification according to a first format;
- mapping circuitry, coupled with the receive circuitry, to convert the alarm notification from the first format to a converted alarm notification according to a second format to be used by an integration reference point (IRP) manager to manage aspects of a cellular network, wherein the converted alarm notification is a notifyNewAlarm notification if the alarm notification includes an ifOperStatus object equal to down and the alarm notification does not match with any existing active alarm at the apparatus;
- and
- transmit circuitry, coupled with the mapping circuitry, to transmit the converted alarm notification to the IRP manager.
One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause an element manager to:
- determine a first alarm notification, received from a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP), includes an ifOperStatus object set to indicate that an operational status of an interface associated with the WLAN AP is up;
- determine that the first alarm notification corresponds to an active alarm in an alarm list stored at the element manager;
- and
- generate, based on determination that the first alarm notification includes an ifOperStatus object set to indicate that the operational status is up and determination that the first alarm notification corresponds to an active alarm, a second alarm notification having a notifyClearedAlarm notification type to notify an integration reference point (IRP) manager of a cellular network of a changed alarm.
