A METHOD OF PROVIDING FAULT MANAGEMENT IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AND A PROXY SWITCH

Abstract A proxy switch, communication methods, and communication logic for use in a mobile network are described. A proxy switch is deployed between a base station subsytern and a mobile station center, A PSN and a BSN are provided for communication with the MSC, and another PSN/BSN pair are provided for communication with the BS. Logic detects whether a received message is a change over order message (COO) from one of the MSC and BS, indicating a break in a first signaling link between the proxy switch and the one of the MSC and BS containing the BSN maintained by the switch for commumication with the one of the MSC and BS. Fault emulation logic forces a break in a second signaling link between the proxy switch and the other of the MSC and BS, wherein the second signaling link is configured to correspond to the first signalig link, and generates and sends a new COO message to the other of the MSC and BS.
