Network Performance Monitoring Devices - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17880529 titled 'Network Performance Monitoring Devices
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a communications system that includes user equipment devices, communications satellites, gateways, a satellite communications network, and network performance monitoring devices. The monitoring devices generate signal information for forward link signals received from the satellites and reverse link packets transmitted to the gateways via the satellites. The monitoring devices and gateways also generate signal information for the reverse link packets. The satellite communications network identifies differences between the signal information and predicted signal information for the monitoring devices. When the differences exceed a threshold value, the network generates and transmits error information to diagnose, debug, and/or repair potential errors in the constellation or gateways.
- The communications system includes user equipment devices, communications satellites, gateways, a satellite communications network, and network performance monitoring devices.
- The monitoring devices generate signal information for forward link signals received from the satellites.
- The monitoring devices generate reverse link packets transmitted to the gateways via the satellites.
- The monitoring devices and gateways generate signal information for the reverse link packets.
- The satellite communications network identifies differences between the signal information and predicted signal information for the monitoring devices.
- When the differences exceed a threshold value, the network generates and transmits error information to diagnose, debug, and/or repair potential errors in the constellation or gateways.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Satellite communications systems
- Network performance monitoring and optimization
- Error diagnosis and debugging in satellite networks
Problems solved by this technology:
- Identifying and diagnosing errors in satellite communications systems
- Optimizing network performance and reliability
- Streamlining error detection and repair processes
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability and performance of satellite communications systems
- Efficient error detection and repair processes
- Enhanced network monitoring and optimization capabilities
Original Abstract Submitted
A communications system may include user equipment (UE) devices, communications satellites, gateways, a satellite communications (satcom) network, and network performance monitoring devices. The monitoring devices may generate forward link signal information associated with forward link signals received from the satellites and may generate reverse link packets transmitted to the gateways via the satellites. The monitoring devices and the gateways may generate reverse link signal information associated with the reverse link packets. The satcom network may identify differences between the first and second reverse link signal information or between the forward link signal information and predicted forward link signal information for the monitoring devices. When the differences exceed a threshold value, the satcom network may generate and transmit error information used to diagnose, debug, and/or repair the potential errors in the constellation or gateways.
