Method for managing a resource calendar, comprises choice of time intervals and duration and memorization in the form of a tree structure with different level nodes indicating varying time spans

摘要

The resource calendar is represented by interconnected nodes (Nij) at various levels (L1,L2,L3,L4) each node at a higher level being connected to two nodes at a lower level. Each node at the lowest level corresponds to the chosen basic time unit (T1-T8) here 15 minutes and nodes at the lowest level may be nominated to reserve a basic time unit or blocks of basic time units may be reserved by nominating nodes at higher levels. Independent claims are also included for the following : 1) Equipment to operate the calendar including a memory and processing means 2) A management terminal for a Network Management System 3) The use of the method for managing a communications system resource calendar
