METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING NETWORK ELEMENTS IN A SATELLITE NAVIGATION DATA DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

摘要

satellite navigation data distribution system (satellite navigation data distribution system) in the network components (network element) the management A method and apparatus for. In one embodiment, the network element includes a processor for processing the satellite navigation data. For example, the network component is a reference station in a satellite navigation data distribution system (reference station), may be a hub (hub), or the server (server). Network element comprises a memory for holding the state variables (status variables) associated with the processing of the satellite navigation data. State variables may be related to the integrity (integrity) of the satellite navigation data. The network components are monitored the states of the state variables to exchange information related to the state of the state variables, and further comprising a management agent (management agent) for communicating with the network management system. In one embodiment, the management agent Simple Network Management Protocol (simple network management protocol; SNMP). Is configured to communicate using the
