SOFTWARE PLATFORM FOR IMPLEMENTATION AND CONTROL OF SATELLITE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

A software-based technology framework for supervising and supporting a combined wireless and satellite communications network requires a two-way communication capability that is operated by a network manager in a supervising system. In particular, this requires the monitoring of a communication network by the network manager, which receives operational information from operative components in the communications network that is pertinent to state/status, performance, and fault reporting aspects of the components. The operational information is then correlated and analyzed at the network manager to generate support information, which pertains to administration, configuration, provisioning and troubleshooting instructions for operative components of the communication network. The support information is then disseminated by the network manager to the appropriate operative component.
