DE4142615A1 - Operating control installation for telecommunications network - uses control data for network subscribers held in plan data list during modification of network for subsequent transfer to actual data list - Google Patents

Abstract

Stored subscriber data are used for controlling the information traffic in a telecommunications network. The control data are stored in actual data lists arranged in type according to given criteria. Each actual data list is associated with a similar plan data list in which the actual data to remain unaltered are held during modification of the telecommunications network. The same control data in all lists are associated with the same key, allowing transfer of data between the plan data list and the actual data list. When no plan data are stored under a given key, the corresponding actual data in each actual data list are erased. ADVANTAGE - Simplified control data updating upon modification of network.

Description

The invention relates to an operating control device according to the Preamble of claim 1.

In telecommunication networks with many subscribers there are often Network changes made by the operations control facility of the Telecommunications network in the control of message traffic must be taken into account and therefore changes within the Control data of the operational control device require. For example, new subscribers can be set up or previously Align existing participants. There are different ones Types of participants, e.g. B. directly connected to the network and via PBXs connected subscribers or subscribers with different priorities, so a change in one There is a change in the type of participant.

Changes in the control data of the operational control device should be done as soon as possible after implementing the network change can be made. There should be several different ones Changes to control data resulting from a single network change must be assigned to be fully effective at the same time if possible.

The object of the invention is therefore an operating control device of the type mentioned in such a way that a simultaneous enforcement of those caused by individual network changes Changes in the control data is achieved in a simple manner.

This object is achieved by the specified in claim 1 Features solved.

The creation of the individual containing control data Plan data lists assigned to actual data lists with the corresponding Network changes to be made and the subsequent, quasi simultaneous takeover of all in the planning data lists made changes in the respectively assigned Actual data lists enables changes to the control data and their Check outside of network operation. Interference from incorrect or incomplete input of control data almost impossible. Effects of changes on the Operation of the network can already be based on the planning data be determined and taken into account. Tools for data entry can be used without risk of causing malfunctions will. The number of types of participants in which the participants can be divided is unlimited.

The data transfer is extremely effective because each data record is used for Implementation of all changes and for error detection only once must be read and evaluated. Reading in further data External mass storage is possible during the data transfer.

The operation control device according to the invention is now so far this is necessary to understand the invention, based on a Described embodiment.

The above-mentioned and alignment of subscriber lines in a telephone network. In There are three different types of telephone network Subscriber lines. Each connection must correspond to its Connection type for the control of the message traffic are taken into account differently.

The network's operational control facility therefore contains control-relevant actual data of all participants in three different lists, each assigned to a participant type is and only data from participants of this type of participant contains.

A plan data list of the same type is created for each actual data list set up. If there are no changes in the telephone network, so correspond to those in the actual data list for each participant control data stored in the assigned Planning data list saved planning data. Key for the data of the individual participant is the participant number. This may only be in one of the three actual data lists and only in one of the three Planning data lists only appear once.

The subscriber numbers are sorted in size in all lists. Table 1 schematically shows the arrangement of (simplicity for the sake of being represented as two-digit numbers) subscriber numbers in three actual and three plan data lists. The list ends are with END featured.  

Table 1

Changes to be made in the network are first made in the planning data. So z. B. one for a participant stored data record can be changed, the participant number in the relevant planning data list remains unchanged. But it can also deleted a participant number from a plan data list or into a other plan data list can be transferred or it can - for example at Setting up a new subscriber line - a new one Participant number with an assigned data record in a Planning data list can be registered.

From time to time or immediately after one or more changes in the planning data lists, a comparison is made between those under the individual subscriber numbers in the actual data lists and each assigned planning data lists and depending on the an adjustment of the actual data to the respective comparison result Planning data.

To find actual and plan data belonging to a subscriber number, the subscriber numbers stored in the lists are displayed in lines cross-checked one after the other and it is in each Comparison line the smallest common key (KGS), i.e. the  lowest participant number determined. In the table above are the subscriber numbers forming the current comparison line with marked with an arrow, the smallest participant number, here the No. 10, is additionally marked with (KGS).

Since the number 10 in both the actual data and the planning data in is entered in the list for participant type 3, a Difference between actual and plan data only in the stored records exist. As a subsequent action thus a comparison of the two data sets and, if necessary, an adjustment of the Actual data must be made.

It has proven to be advantageous for a cross-comparison action to be carried out in each case (e.g. here a data record comparison) Assign action patterns, in the form of a matrix with two here Rows and three columns can be represented.

This matrix is obtained by looking at the 6 positions on the comparison line in two mutually arranged matrix rows with 3 elements each divides. The action pattern arises when the element positions, that have a smallest common key, a 1, to all other positions a zero is written.

To the different action patterns by an individual The matrix elements are able to describe numerical values additionally with different values, e.g. B. Powers of the number 2 weighted and the weighted matrix elements added. The in the above Example contained action patterns would then be the matrix

| 0 0 1 |

| 0 0 1 |

correspond. If the positions of the 1st line were weighted with 2 ⁰ , 2 ¹ , 2 ² , the positions of the 2nd line with 2 ³ , 2 ⁴ , 2 ⁵ and the subsequent summation of the matrix elements, the numerical value describing the action pattern would be 4 + 32 = 36 ring. The action would then be assigned to this numerical value: comparison of the actual and plan data records of subscriber number 10 and adaptation of the actual data to the plan data.

The next comparison line to be treated is determined by: the smallest so far in the comparison line discussed previously shared key by the next following in their lists Key replaced in the o.b. So table the arrows in the lists Actual data, participant type 3 and plan data, participant type 3 by one Position can be moved down. You get one Comparison line in which the smallest common key is the Participant number is 12. Actual and plan data for the participant number 12 are in the lists for the type of participant 1. An on or Alignment or a change in the participant type is therefore not pending. The pattern of action corresponding to the present case

| 1 0 0 |

| 1 0 0 |

has the numerical value 9 and solves a comparison of how the action pattern 36 described above Actual and plan data records and, if necessary, an adjustment of the actual data for the Participant number 12 off.

Moving the arrows into the smallest common key 12 lists containing one place leads to the next Comparison line, which is the smallest common key Participant number 13 contains. This participant number occurs at the Actual data in the list for participant type 2, in the planning data in the List for participant type 1. That belonging to this configuration Action pattern with the numerical value 10 must therefore be changed  Participant type from the existing participant type 2 to the participant type 1 effect. In this case, the planning data in the list for Participant type 1 in the actual data list for participant type 1 transferred, the actual data in the list for participant type 2 deleted. A comparison of the data records can also follow.

If the described method is continued, a next one is carried out Comparison line reached, in which the smallest key (14) only in a plan data list occurs. That means that for the corresponding actual participants do not yet have any actual data, this one Participants therefore only by creating an actual data record must be set up. The latter is supported by the action pattern the value 16 causes.

Would a smallest common key only with the actual data found, this would mean that the participant has to be aligned, the actual data should therefore be deleted.

Other configurations, e.g. B. two smallest common keys in Actual data lists or in plan data lists represent error cases corresponding action patterns must trigger error handling.

In addition to the o.b. Action patterns there is a similar end pattern, which is also evaluated and which shows when all Participant numbers of all lists have been processed.

The end pattern matrix contains each corresponding to a list Position 1 as soon as the end position is reached in this list, d. H. the arrow contained in the table in the respective lists "END" points. The other positions have the value zero. The end of the processing process is reached when the end pattern matrix is on all positions have the value 1, which is a numerical value of 63 corresponds.  

Of course, instead of the smallest common key also the greatest common key occur, so the lists of large to smaller keys are processed.
