Abstract
A system and method for recovering from a failure is disclosed. A preferred embodiment comprises downloading a first patch into a base station, installing the first patch, loading the first patch, and validating the first patch. Once the first patch has been validated, a second patch may be downloaded, installed, loaded, and verified. This incremental remediation approach allows for the conservation of resources if the system is non-recoverable, as this will become evident prior to a complete download and install is performed.

8. A method of automatically recovering from a failure, the method comprising:
-
implementing a first patch in a base station, the implementing the first patch comprising; receiving the first patch; validating the first patch; and installing the first patch into a first component of the base station; implementing a second patch in the base station after the implementing the first patch in the base station, the implementing the second patch comprising; receiving the second patch; validating the second patch; and installing the second patch into a second component of the base station different from the first component. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for failure recovery, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first download at a wireless base station; installing the first download into the wireless base station; loading the installed first download into the wireless base station; validating the loading the installed first download; receiving a second download at the wireless base station if the validating the loading the installed first download indicates a successful loading; and installing the second download at the wireless base station. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method of transmitting remediation data, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a first patch from a transmission station, the first patch being a first subset of a series of patches that are related to each other; receiving a request for a second patch to be transmitted at the transmission station; and transmitting the second patch from the transmission station, the second patch being a second subset of the series of patches and also being different from the first patch. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22)

23. A base station comprising:
-
a first implementing unit, the first implementing unit configured to implement a first patch into the base station that has experienced a failure; and a second implementing unit, the second implementing unit configured to implement a second patch into the base station if the first patch is successful, the second patch being different from the first patch. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)

26. A base station comprising:
-
a receiving unit configured to receive a first download at a base station; an installation unit configured to install the first download into the base station; a loading unit configured to load the installed first download into the base station; and a load validation unit configured to validate the load of the installed first download; wherein the receiving unit is also configured to receive a second download at the base station if the load validation unit indicates a successful loading, and wherein the installation unit is also configured to install the second download at the base station. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28)
