Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traffic management, and specifically relates to a traffic monitoring and regulation system for a SIM card shared traffic pool. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the rapid development of the Internet of Things has enabled a large number of devices to connect to the network through SIM cards. To save data traffic, most Internet of Things devices access the data network by sharing a traffic pool. However, during the operation of the shared traffic pool, various problems and risks may be faced.

[0003] Firstly, the risk of traffic overrun is a significant challenge. Once the usage of the shared traffic pool exceeds the total capacity, the data services of all participating SIM cards will be shut down, which causes the devices to malfunction and affects business operations. Secondly, traffic management becomes complex. When sharing traffic among multiple devices, abnormal usage devices may cause the entire traffic pool to be shut down due to overage in a short period of time. How to reasonably allocate and monitor traffic usage will become a daunting task. In addition, the risk of operator system upgrade may also affect the management of the traffic pool. During the operator system upgrade and maintenance window period, no operations can be performed on the SIM cards, which will affect the real-time status management of the SIM cards. Finally, the low utilization rate of the shared traffic pool is also a potential problem. The remaining traffic in the traffic pool fails to be fully utilized before expiration, resulting in waste of resources. Therefore, a reasonable traffic management and monitoring mechanism is particularly important. The present invention proposes a traffic monitoring and regulation system for a SIM card shared traffic pool to ensure the efficient operation of the shared traffic pool. Summary of the Invention

[0011] As a further description of the solution of the present invention, the working process of the traffic monitoring module includes:

[0012] Regularly obtain the quasi-real-time usage of each SIM card every 300 seconds, and calculate the total usage p of the traffic pool through the formula p f = f1 + f2 + … + f i + … + f n Aggregate and calculate to obtain the total usage p of the traffic pool f ;

[0013] where n is the number of SIM cards activated in the traffic pool, and f i is the real-time usage of the i-th SIM card, and i belongs to n.

[0014] As a further description of the solution of the present invention, the working process of the data analysis module includes:

[0015] Divide the traffic usage requirements of the shared traffic pool into stages according to the monthly date;

[0016] According to the data of the traffic usage of the i-th SIM card changing with time, obtain the function f i (t) of the traffic usage of the i-th SIM card changing with time in each stage;

[0017] Substitute the function f i (t) of the traffic usage of the i-th SIM card changing with time in each stage into the formula Calculate to obtain the function p f (t) of the traffic usage of the traffic pool changing with time;

[0018] According to the function f i (t) of the traffic usage of the i-th SIM card changing with time in each stage, construct a calculation model for the traffic usage risk coefficient of the traffic pool, and the expression is:

[0019]

[0020] In the formula, m is the current stage, p fj (t) is the function of the actual traffic usage of the traffic pool changing with time in the j-th stage, p fj0 (t) is the function of the standard traffic usage of the traffic pool changing with time set in the j-th stage, α j is the weight coefficient corresponding to the j-th stage, where j belongs to m, ΔSP T is the set state reference value, and ρ is the real-time traffic usage risk coefficient of the traffic pool.

[0025] Compare the total traffic usage of the traffic pool in the current stage with the set standard usage range;

[0026] If the total traffic usage of the traffic pool is less than or within the set standard usage range, it means that the traffic usage is normal;

[0027] If the total traffic usage of the traffic pool is greater than the set standard usage range, it means that there is a risk in traffic usage.
