Fault notification extension in support of BSS 2G siemens

Fault management system has critical responsibility in telecommunication networks to guarantee the networks reliability. One of important functions of fault management is fault notification. In this paper, fault notification extension for BSS 2G Siemens is proposed. Application to process and send the BSS 2G alarms automatically to sites engineers in form of Short Message Service (SMS) is designed and developed. Report status of the notification is accomplished with time-stamp and interval period. The experimental results showed that the notification extension for the BSS 2G alarm is received successfully by site engineers. Transmission time and response time of the notification is faster up to three times than using operator's phone call.
