Abstract
Network downtime determination and reporting technologies are disclosed. An example method for determining downtime associated with a communications network includes detecting an event that triggers update of a downtime accumulation estimate associated with the communications network, and determining real-time status of a subset of cell sites that is potentially affected by the event. The example method also includes updating the downtime accumulation estimate based on the real-time status of the subset, and comparing the updated downtime accumulation estimate with one or more criteria for reporting the same.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for determining downtime associated with a communications network including a plurality of cell sites, the method comprising:
- detecting an event that triggers update of a downtime accumulation estimate associated with the communications network;
- determining real-time status of a subset of the plurality of cell sites that is potentially affected by the event;
- updating the downtime accumulation estimate based, at least in part, on the real-time status of the subset;
- comparing the updated downtime accumulation estimate with one or more reporting criteria;
- and
- responsive to a positive result from the comparing, transmitting the updated downtime accumulation estimate to a remote system.
A network downtime determination system, comprising:
- at least one memory that stores computer executable instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the computer executable instructions to cause actions to be performed, the actions including:
- detecting an event that triggers update of a downtime accumulation estimate associated with a communications network including a plurality of cell sites;
- determining real-time status of a subset of the plurality of cell sites that is potentially affected by the event;
- updating the downtime accumulation estimate based, at least in part, on the real-time status of the subset;
- comparing the updated downtime accumulation estimate with one or more reporting criteria;
- and
- responsive to a positive result from the comparing, transmitting the updated downtime accumulation estimate to a remote system.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing contents that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform actions comprising:
- detecting an event that triggers update of a downtime accumulation estimate associated with a communications network including a plurality of cell sites;
- determining real-time status of a subset of the plurality of cell sites that is potentially affected by the event;
- updating the downtime accumulation estimate based, at least in part, on the real-time status of the subset;
- comparing the updated downtime accumulation estimate with one or more reporting criteria;
- and
- responsive to a positive result from the comparing, causing transmitting of the updated downtime accumulation estimate to a remote system.
