Intellegent voice network monitoring using echo cancellation statistics
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for intelligent network monitoring in a telecommunications network, comprising:
- generating line echo cancellation (LEC) data from a line echo canceller on said network;
analyzing said line echo cancellation data using line echo cancellation rules for said network;
correlating said line echo cancellation data with voice quality data from a plurality of network elements; and
providing a voice quality assessment of said network.

Abstract
Monitoring voice quality passively using line echo cancellation data across a telecommunications network and reporting monitoring data to a central network management system. Network is monitored for potential voice quality issues for pro-active isolation of problems prior to customer complaints about the problems. Line echo cancellation related and non-related data for IP and other networks is gathered and correlated together to provide voice quality assessments of network performance.

5. A method of monitoring a voice over packet network, comprising:
-
determining, with a fuzzy inference system, line echo cancellation performance of a plurality of network elements;
generating fuzzy line echo cancellation (LEC) data assessments of said network elements;
analyzing said fuzzy assessments using a set of LEC rules for said network; and
analyzing said fuzzy assessments to determine an aspect of said LEC performance of said network. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
