Self-Organizing Network Mechanism for Energy Saving During an Outage
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, by a self-organizing network (SON), information indicating that access network equipment is experiencing a power outage;
in response to receiving the information, determining, by the SON, at least one of a time since the power outage, a present configuration of the access network equipment, a characteristic of the access network equipment, or a value of a performance indicator associated with the access network equipment;
generating, by the SON, an updated configuration of the access network equipment based at least in part on the at least one of the time since the power outage, the present configuration of the access network equipment, the characteristic of the access network equipment, or the value of the performance indicator; and
providing, by the SON, the updated configuration to the access network equipment.

Abstract
Described herein is a self-organizing network (SON) configured to receive information indicating that access network equipment is experiencing a power outage. In response, the SON determines at least one of a time since the power outage, a present configuration of the access network equipment, a characteristic of the access network equipment, or a value of a performance indicator associated with the access network equipment. The SON then generates an updated configuration of the access network equipment based at least in part on the at least one of the time since the power outage, the present configuration of the access network equipment, the characteristic of the access network equipment, or the value of the performance indicator. Further, the SON then provides the updated configuration to the access network equipment.

12. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having stored thereon programming instructions configured to program one or more computing devices of a SON to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving information indicating that access network equipment is experiencing a power outage; in response to receiving the information, determining at least one of a time since the power outage, a present configuration of the access network equipment, a characteristic of the access network equipment, or a value of a performance indicator associated with the access network equipment; generating an updated configuration of the access network equipment based at least in part on the at least one of the time since the power outage, the present configuration of the access network equipment, the characteristic of the access network equipment, or the value of the performance indicator; and providing the updated configuration to the access network equipment. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A SON comprising:
-
one or more processors; and one or more SON tools configured to be operated by the one or more processors to perform operations including; receiving information indicating that access network equipment is experiencing a power outage; in response to receiving the information, determining at least one of a time since the power outage, a present configuration of the access network equipment, a characteristic of the access network equipment, or a value of a performance indicator associated with the access network equipment; and generating an updated configuration of the access network equipment based at least in part on the at least one of the time since the power outage, the present configuration of the access network equipment, the characteristic of the access network equipment, or the value of the performance indicator; providing the updated configuration to the access network equipment; and periodically repeating the determining, the generating, and the providing while progressively applying changes to the configuration of the access network equipment which degrade service capabilities of access network equipment and save power of access network equipment. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
