  • This invention relates to a telecommunications network comprising a plurality of exchanges, a set of routes for carrying telecommunications traffic between said exchanges, and a traffic management system.
  • An international telecommunications network for a particular country may comprise a set of international exchanges connected both to a national network of trunk exchanges and to international exchanges located in other countries.
  • An international telecommunications network may be provided with a traffic management centre where network management personnel receive data on traffic passing between the network and networks in other countries. The data includes traffic alarms and the network management personnel respond to these by selecting appropriate remedies with the aim of increasing the volume and proportion of successful traffic.
  • Available remedies include expansive and restrictive controls. Expansive controls spread traffic from congested to less congested areas, whereas restrictive controls are used to limit access to the network by traffic with a low chance of successful completion. The task of selecting appropriate remedies in response to traffic alarms is laborious.

For reasons of simplicity, only one trunk exchange, namely trunk exchange 20, is shown in the present example.
  • the trunk exchange 20 is connected to international exchanges 11 to 13, respectively, by traffic routes Rl to R3.
  • the international exchanges 11 to 15 and the trunk exchange 20 are digital exchanges and, by way of example, may be System X exchanges manufactured by GEC Plessey Telecommunications or AXE10 exchanges manufactured by Ericsson Telecommunications.
  • Each of the international exchanges 11 to 15 is connected to a number of international exchanges located in foreign countries by routes. From each foreign exchange, traffic may be transmitted to a large number of destination exchanges.
  • Figure 1 shows how traffic may be transmitted from international exchange 12 to a destination exchange 22.
  • International exchange 12 is connected by three routes R4, R5, R6, respectively, to three foreign international exchanges 24, 25 and 26. From the exchange 24, traffic may be transmitted through exchanges 27 and 28 to destination exchange 22. From exchange 25, traffic may be transmitted through exchange 29 to the destination exchange 22, and from exchange 26 traffic may be transmitted through exchanges 30 and 31 to the destination exchange 22. Other routes may exist between exchanges 24, 25, 26, and the destination exchange 22.
  • each of the international exchanges 11 to 15 is provided with a route table for each of the destination exchanges which may be connected to it.
  • Each route table lists the order in which routes should be tried in attempting to make a connection. For example, for outgoing calls from international exchange 10 to destination exchange 22, the order of routes in the route table is R4, R5, R6.
  • the international exchange will initially try route R4 when attempting to make a connection to destination exchange 22. If this is unsuccessful, it will try R5 and, if this too is unsuccessful, it will then try R6.
  • International exchange 12 has no control over routes which are followed beyond exchanges 24, 25 and 26 and this is indicated by the dashed lines in Figure 1. Route tables may be altered by changing the order of the routes, omitting routes or inserting alternative routes.

If the exchange 12 is not able to connect the call on route R4, it will then try routes R5 and R6. If the attempts on all three routes are unsuccessful, the call will fail. Percentage overflow is the ratio of failed attempts to connect calls to destination numbers accessed by destination exchange 22 to the total number of attempts expressed as a percentage.

The traffic demand is specified by volume of traffic and average call duration. Under normal circumstances, actual traffic demand for calls from one location to another will match the profile prepared from historical data.

Abstract

Un réseau international de télécommunications comprend un ensemble de centraux téléphoniques internationaux situés dans un pays en particulier, cet ensemble servant à relier le réseau national de télécommunications de ce pays aux réseaux situés dans d'autres pays. Le réseau international comprend un système de gestion du trafic sous la forme d'un système expert doté d'un ensemble de sources de connaissances (42 à 52). Un dispositif d'identification (45) identifie les alarmes se rapportant au trafic, et un dispositif d'affectation de priorités (46) range les alarmes par ordre de priorité. Un dispositif de diagnostic (47) diagnostique la cause ou les causes des alarmes en proposant des causes possibles à ces alarmes, et en étudiant ces causes en fonction des données du trafic et du réseau. Un dispositif de résolution (48) propose des remèdes aux causes des alarmes en raisonnant sur chaque cause en fonction des données sur le trafic liées à cette cause, puis en raisonnant sur chaque remède en fonction de données sur le trafic dans le voisinage du remède afin de déterminer un facteur de mérite pour ce remède; ensuite, ce dispositif range les remèdes par ordre de mérite. Ces remèdes peuvent être mis en oeuvre automatiquement ou résulter de la commande émise par un opérateur.
