Heartbeat-free method and device for long-term online service

Abstract

The invention discloses a heartbeat-free method and device for long-term online service. The method comprises the following steps: determining, by a firewall/NAT (Network Address Translation) equipment, that a terminal initiates TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connection with a server, and recording mapping relation of an IP (Internet Protocol) address as well as a port and a destination IP address as well as a port connected by the TCP; determining, by the firewall/NAT equipment, that the service corresponding to the TCP connection is heartbeat-free long-term online service, marking the mapping relation to be a long-term hold state; receiving, by the firewall/NAT equipment, a state migration request transmitted when the terminal migrates in a service state, and transmitting to the server. By applying the scheme, the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced, the occupation of a wireless channel resource and the consumption of processing resources of the equipment are reduced and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a heartbeat-free method and device for long-time online services. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, for long-time online services such as instant messaging, periodic heartbeat messages are used between the terminal and the server to achieve the following two purposes: [0003] 1) It is used for the server to sense the user's online status and provide optimized services; [0004] 2) Refresh the tunnel timer of the firewall / Network Address Translation (NAT, Network Address Translation) device, maintain the connectivity of the transport layer, etc. [0005] However, the above method has certain problems in practical application, such as: [0006] 1) The periodic heartbeat will cause the dormant terminal to wake up periodically, thereby increasing the power consumption of the terminal; [0007] 2) After the terminal establishes a wireless connection with the net...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] 1) The periodic heartbeat will cause the dormant terminal to wake up periodically, thereby increasing the power consumption of the terminal;

[0007] 2) After the terminal establishes a wireless connection with the network side to send heartbeat information, the network side will set an idle timer. After the timer expires (several seconds to tens of seconds), the established wireless connection will be removed, and the heartbeat cycle is generally several minutes. , each heartbeat in the idle state will lead to the establishment and teardown of wireless connections, resulting in the occupation of a large number of wireless channel resources and the consumption of a large number of device processing resources, etc.
