First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for monitoring faults in one or more network zones, the method comprising:
- determining, by at least one processor of a remote device, an expected communication rate for a network zone, wherein determining the expected communication rate comprises;
for each mobile device disposed in the network zone;
determining whether the mobile device is in an active state or an inactive state;
in response to determining that the mobile device is in an active state, setting a device expected communication rate for the mobile device to a first rate; and
in response to determining that the mobile device is in an inactive state, setting the device expected communication rate for the mobile device to one of at least one lower rate that is lower than the first rate; and
determining the expected communication rate for the network zone based on the device expected communication rate determined for each mobile device disposed in the network zone; and
determining, by the at least one processor of the remote device, whether the network zone is experiencing a fault, where the determining comprises;
comparing for a first time frame an actual communication rate for the network zone, reflecting communications from each mobile device disposed in the network zone, to said expected communication rate; and
indicating the fault in the network zone when said actual communication rate is not equal to said expected communication rate within said first time frame.
