Multi- Vendor Network Monitoring in Telecom Indoor Sites and Call Quality from End-User Perspective

摘要

A novel approach to manage the call and bandwidth quality by associating the alarm monitoring system with the call quality from end-user perspective is proposed. The approach will make the system more robust by proposing the penalty model. In contrast to the computer networks, where the network resources are used to share the data, the telecom network especially the IBS (Indoor Building Solutions) sites that we are going embark upon are of multiple vendors supporting DAS(distributed antenna system) to enhance the coverage of indoor buildings such as Malls, Hospitals etc. The system developed for the monitoring of these resources is through SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) which is supported by almost all the network equipment vendors. In this paper, we present the novel approach of dealing with multi vendor equipment alarm monitoring and the challenges in dealing with these systems. Finally, we will compare the call quality from end-user perspective pertaining to the IBS cells using QMetern^®nand propose the penalty model to address the quality issues.
