Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a communication performance management device and a communication performance management method thereof, and more specifically, to a communication performance management device and a communication performance management method thereof for public residential buildings. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, in public residential buildings such as apartments, telecommunications operators connect network communication lines from outside the building to each household within the building. The network communication line is then distributed to each household that has joined the telecommunications service provided by the operator, so that each household can use the network communication service.

[0003] On the other hand, with the rapid development of network communication technology, digital electronics technology, data compression technology, image processing technology, etc., in addition to electronic devices such as computers, laptops, and smartphones developed for the purpose of network communication, electronic devices such as televisions, refrigerators, and washing machines have also been equipped with IP (Internet Protocol) network communication functions, realizing network communication.

[0004] However, with the increase in electronic devices capable of network communication (hereinafter referred to as "communication devices"), when multiple communication devices are connected to the network in a home at the same time, each communication device can independently perform network communication using a network communication line. However, in this case, since each network communication line has to bear the network communication cost, from the user's perspective, there is an increased burden of communication costs.

[0005] In addition, when multiple communication devices are connected to the network in a home at the same time, the communication of each communication device can be multiplexed using the time division multiplexing (TDM) method to perform network communication. However, in this communication method, when a time delay occurs in any communication device, it may cause traffic jams to other communication devices, thereby reducing communication speed and communication quality.

[0006] This invention is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Its purpose is to provide a communication performance management device and method for public residential buildings with a large number of families, where multiple communication devices in at least one family want to connect to the network at the same time, without having to have multiple network communication lines to accommodate each communication device. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a communication performance management device for managing public residential buildings includes: an identification information storage unit for storing identification information of each household in the public residential building; a basic channel allocation unit for allocating basic communication channels to each household; a communication device determination unit for determining the number of communication devices currently connected to the network; a first household identification unit for identifying that the number of communication devices currently connected to the network in each household is less than or equal to a set minimum number; a second household identification unit for identifying that the number of communication devices currently connected to the network in each household is greater than or equal to a set maximum number; and a device for switching at least one of the basic communication channels allocated to the user identified by the first household identification unit for switching the basic communication channel of the user identified by the second household identification unit.

[0008] The aforementioned communication performance management device may further include: a connection information storage unit for storing the number of communication devices determined by the communication device determination unit, identification information corresponding to each registered household, and connection information for storing connection information of each registered household including current time information; and a communication connection prediction unit for predicting the number of communication devices connected to each registered household based on the connection information of each registered household stored during the setup period. In this case, the basic channel switching unit switches the basic communication channel based on the number of communication devices predicted by the communication connection prediction unit.

[0009] The aforementioned communication performance management device may further include a channel information storage unit, which matches and stores the basic communication channel information allocated to each user with the identification information corresponding to each of the aforementioned user households.

[0010] The aforementioned communication performance management device may further include an SNR measurement unit that measures the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) assigned to each basic communication channel identified by the first home identification unit. In this case, the basic channel switching unit switches the basic communication channel whose SNR is greater than the SNR set by the SNR measurement unit.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the communication performance management apparatus, in a communication performance management method executed by the aforementioned communication performance management apparatus, the method includes the following steps: storing identification information of each subscribed household in a public residential building; allocating a basic communication channel corresponding to each subscribed household; and corresponding to each subscribed household. The method is characterized by the following steps: determining the number of communication devices currently connected to the network; identifying a first subscribed household in each subscribed household where the number of communication devices currently connected to the network is less than or equal to a set minimum number; identifying a second subscribed household in each subscribed household where the number of communication devices currently connected to the network is greater than or equal to a set maximum number; and switching to at least one of the basic communication channels allocated to the identified first subscribed households.

[0012] The present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: According to the present invention, for a public residential building that integrates multiple families, while providing the best communication speed to each family, the communication channels provided to the public residential building are minimized, and the communication channels provided to each family in the public residential building are prevented from being wasted unnecessarily.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to exemplary drawings.

Furthermore, when describing embodiments of the present invention, detailed descriptions of the specific structure or function of related announcements will be omitted if it is believed that such detailed descriptions would hinder the understanding of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] Furthermore, when describing the components of embodiments of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b) may be used. These terms are merely for distinguishing a component from other components and are not limited to the nature, order, or sequence of the components. If a component is described as "connected," "combined," or "linked" to another component, then the component may be directly connected, combined, or linked to another component, but it should be understood that another component between the component and its other component may also be "connected," "combined," or "linked."

[0032] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram illustrating the concept of a communication performance management device for managing public residential buildings according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the communication performance management device 100 provides network communication services to each household within the public residential building and manages the communication speed and quality of the provided network communication services. In this case, network communication services corresponding to the public residential building can be provided to each communication service provider (e.g., SK Telecom, KT, LGU+, and regional cable broadcasting service providers).

[0033] refer to Figure 1 The communication performance management device 100 is installed corresponding to the public residential building 10. In this case, based on the incoming communication cable 20 leading into the public residential building 10, the communication performance management device 100 installs a communication cable 40 for each participating household 30 that joins the network communication service within the corresponding public residential building 10. Here, the principle of the communication performance management device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is that, regardless of the number of communication devices that each user household wants to use the network communication service, one communication cable 40 is installed for each user household.

[0034] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic representation of the communication performance management device.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the communication performance management device 100 may include an identification information storage unit 102, a basic channel allocation unit 104, a communication device judgment unit 106, a first home identification unit 108, a second home identification unit 110, a basic channel conversion unit 112, a connection information storage unit 114, a communication connection prediction unit 116, a channel information storage unit 118, and an SNR measurement unit 120.

[0036] The identification information storage unit 102 stores the identification information of each household that joins the public residential building 10. Specifically, the identification information storage unit 102 stores the identification information of each household in the public residential building 10 that has joined the communication service corresponding to the communication performance management device 100. At this time, the identification information storage unit 102 can store the household's identification information, such as its phone number, the name of its representative, and its ID number.

[0037] The basic channel allocation unit 104 allocates a basic communication channel in response to each subscribing household. At this time, the basic channel allocation unit 104 sets the communication channel based on specifications such as the material, thickness, and resistance per unit length of the incoming communication cable 20 introduced into the public residential building 10, and can allocate a basic communication channel to each subscribing household based on the number of communication channels set for the incoming communication cable 20.

[0038] Here, the communication cable 20 introduced into the public residential building 10 takes into account the total number of households in the public residential building 10, the number of households currently enrolled in the communication service, the predicted number of households that can be expanded in the future, and the average number of communication devices connected simultaneously per household. It can be configured to provide optimal communication service without wasting costs. For example, if the average number of communication devices connected simultaneously per household is 5, and in a specific public residential building 10 with 50 households, there are currently 20 enrolled households, and if it is predicted that up to 10 more households can be added in the future, then the communication cable 20 introduced into the public residential building 10 can be installed to provide optimal communication service for 30 households.

[0039] At this time, the basic channel allocation unit 104 can set the communication channel of the introduced communication cable 20 based on the specifications of the introduced communication cable 20 and the number of households subscribing to the current communication service in the public residential building 10. In the above example, the basic channel allocation unit 104 targets the 20 households currently subscribed to the communication service, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a total of 100 communication channels can be set on the input communication cable 20.

[0040] Here, the basic channel allocation unit 104 can set a communication channel for the input communication cable 20 based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Furthermore, a communication channel refers to the path through which any communication device can send and receive data without interference from other communication devices.

[0041] Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) uses multiple closely spaced orthogonal subcarrier signals to transmit data in parallel through multiple communication channels. In this case, conventional modulation systems such as Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) or Phase-Shift Keying (PSK) are used to modulate each subcarrier at a low symbol rate while maintaining a similar overall data rate to a conventional single-carrier modulation system of the same bandwidth. OFDM is a known technique; therefore, please refer to the known descriptions for details.

[0042] Furthermore, the basic channel allocation unit 104 sets the number of basic communication channels based on the number of communication channels provided for the incoming communication cable 20 and the number of users 30 in the corresponding public residential building 10, and allocates the basic communication channels corresponding to the set number to each user 30. Here, a basic communication channel refers to the communication channel allocated to each household in the public residential building 10. For example, as described above, if a total of 100 communication channels are provided for the incoming communication cable 20, and the number of users 30 currently subscribed to the communication service in the public residential building 10 is 20, the basic channel allocation unit 104 can allocate 5 basic communication channels to each household. Figure 4 As shown, in each user household 30, five communication devices can simultaneously send and receive data through their respective communication channels without interfering with each other.

[0043] The communication device determination unit 106 determines the number of communication devices currently connected to the network for each participating household. At this time, the communication device determination unit 106 can refer in real time to data packets sent and received from each user household 30, and determine the number of communication devices currently connected to the network for each user household based on the identification information of each communication device included in the referenced data packets. Furthermore, even if there is no current network connection, if the communication device determination unit 106 receives a connection request signal requesting network connection from at least one communication device, it can determine the number of communication devices requesting connection based on the identification information of the communication device contained in the connection request signal.

[0044] The first household identification unit 108 identifies users among the users 30 whose number of communication devices currently connected to the network is less than a set minimum. In this case, the first household identification unit 108 can consider not only the communication devices currently connected to the network, but also the communication devices requesting network access to identify the subscribed households. For example, as described above, when each subscriber is allocated five basic communication channels, the first household identification unit 108 sets three as the minimum and can identify subscribers among the subscribers whose number of communication devices currently using the communication service or requesting network access is less than three.

[0045] The second household identification unit 110 identifies users whose number of communication devices currently connected to the network exceeds a set maximum. In this case, the second household identification unit 110 can consider not only the communication devices currently connected to the network, but also the communication devices requesting network access to identify the subscribed household. For example, as described above, when each subscriber is allocated 5 basic communication channels, the second household identification unit 110 sets 6 as the maximum and can identify subscribers whose number of communication devices currently using the communication service or requesting network connection is 6 or more.

[0046] The basic channel conversion unit 112 converts at least one of the basic communication channels assigned to the user household 30 identified by the first household identification unit 108 into the communication channel of the user household 30 identified by the second household identification unit 110. For example, when the basic channel conversion unit 112 assigns five basic communication channels to each user household as described above, such as... Figure 5 As shown in Figure a, for user households with three or fewer communication devices currently connected to the network or requesting network connection, the first household identification unit 108 will connect two communication channels, such as... Figure 5 As shown in b, the second home identification unit 110 converts six or more user homes 30 that are currently connected to the network or request to connect to the network into a communication channel.

[0047] At this time, the basic channel switching unit 112 can sequentially list the user households 30 identified by the first household identification unit 108 from the user households with the fewest number of communication devices currently connecting to the network or requesting to connect to the network.

[0048] In addition, the basic channel switching unit 112 can sequentially list the user households 30 identified by the second household identification unit 110 from the user households with the largest number of communication devices currently connected to the network or requesting to connect to the network.

[0049] In this case, the basic channel switching unit 112 preferably switches from the basic communication channel of the user with the fewest communication devices currently connected to the network or requesting connection among the users identified by the first home identification unit 108 to the communication channel of the user's home identified by the second home identification unit 110.

[0050] In addition, the basic channel switching unit 112 preferably assigns the communication channel switched by the first family identification unit 108 to the family with the most communication devices currently connected to the network or requesting connection among the user families identified by the second family identification unit 110.

[0051] The connection information storage unit 114 stores the number of communication devices determined by the communication device determination unit 106, the identification information corresponding to each user household 30, and the connection information of each user household including the current time information. That is, the connection information storage unit 114 matches the identification information of each user household 30 with the number of communication devices currently connecting to or requesting to connect to the network corresponding to each user household 30, and the time information of querying the communication devices currently connecting to or requesting to connect to the network, and stores it as the connection information of each user household. At this time, the access information storage unit 114 categorizes and stores the access information of each user household by time period, such as time period of day, day of week, month, season, etc., and calculates the average number of communication devices for each time period, day of week, month, season, etc., based on the access information of each user household stored at a set time interval, such as 1 year.

[0052] The communication connection prediction unit 116 predicts the number of communication devices connected to each user household 30 based on the connection information stored during the setup period. At this time, the communication connection prediction unit 116 can predict the number of communication devices that each user household will connect to in the future based on the connection information of each user household stored in the connection information storage unit 114, such as the average number of communication devices for time periods, days, weeks, months, and seasons. Furthermore, the communication connection prediction unit 116 can predict the number of communication devices that each user household will connect to in the future more specifically by combining the average number of each communication device, such as the time period, day, week, month, and season stored for each user within the set time interval. For example, the communication connection prediction unit 116 can predict the number of communication devices connected from now until the next time period based on the average number of communication devices for each user's time period stored within a one-year time interval. Additionally, the communication connection prediction unit 116 can predict the number of communication devices connected for a specific time period tomorrow by combining the average number of each communication device for each user household's time period, day, week, month, and season stored within a one-year time interval.

[0053] In this scenario, the basic channel switching unit 112 switches the basic communication channel based on the number of communication devices predicted by the communication connection prediction unit 116. At this time, the basic channel switching unit 112 categorizes the average number of communication devices for each user household (time period, day, week, month, season, etc.) calculated by the connection information storage unit 114, according to the order from the shortest time interval to the longest time interval. Furthermore, the average number of communication devices for each time interval can be categorized from the smallest to the largest average number of communication devices. Additionally, the basic channel switching unit 112 may prioritize switching the basic communication channel for subscriber households whose predicted number of communication devices in the shortest time interval among those identified by the first household identification unit 108 is less than or equal to the current number of communication devices. For example, the basic channel switching unit 112 may prioritize switching the basic communication channel for subscriber households whose predetermined number of communication channels identified by the first household identification unit 108 is less than or equal to the number of communication devices currently connected to the network or requesting connection.

[0054] The channel information storage unit 118 matches and stores the information of the basic communication channel allocated to each user household 30 with the identification information corresponding to each user household 30. At this time, the basic channel allocation unit 104 allocates identification information in response to each communication channel set in the input communication cable 20, and the channel information storage unit 118 can match and store the identification information of the basic communication channel allocated to each user 30 with the identification information of each user 30. Thus, when the basic channel switching unit 112 switches the basic communication channel of one subscriber household to the communication channel of another subscriber household, the channel information storage unit 118 can clearly manage which subscriber household the initially allocated basic communication channel for each subscriber household is switched from and which subscriber household the newly switched communication channel is switched from.

[0055] SNR measurement unit 120 measures the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each basic communication channel assigned to each subscribed household identified by first household identification unit 108. In this case, basic channel switching unit 112 can switch basic communication channels with a SNR set by SNR measurement unit 120 to a value above the set value. At this time, basic channel switching unit 112 preferably switches sequentially from the communication channel with the highest SNR, i.e., the communication channel with the lowest noise, to the communication channels of other subscribed households.

[0056] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication performance management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The communication performance management method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be... Figure 2 The communication performance management device 100 shown is executed.

[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The communication performance management device 100 stores the identification information S101 of each household that has joined the communication service within the public residential building 10. That is, the communication performance management device 100 stores the identification information of each household that has joined the communication service within the public residential building 10. At this time, the communication performance management device 100 can store the household number, the name of the joining representative, and the ID card number of each household in the public residential building 10 as the identification information of the household.

[0058] The communication performance management device 100 responds to each subscribing household by allocating a basic communication channel S103. At this time, the communication performance management device 100 sets the communication channel based on specifications such as the material, thickness, and resistance per unit length of the incoming communication cable 20 introduced into the public residential building 10, and can allocate a basic communication channel to each subscribing household based on the number of communication channels set for the incoming communication cable 20.

[0059] Here, the communication cable 20 introduced into the public residential building 10 takes into account the total number of households in the public residential building 10, the number of households currently enrolled in the communication service, the predicted number of households that can be expanded in the future, and the average number of communication devices connected simultaneously per household. It can be configured to provide optimal communication service without wasting costs. For example, if the average number of communication devices connected simultaneously per household is 5, and in a specific public residential building 10 with 50 households, there are currently 20 enrolled households, and if it is predicted that up to 10 more households can be added in the future, then the communication cable 20 introduced into the public residential building 10 can be installed to provide optimal communication service for 30 households.

[0060] At this time, the communication performance management device 100 can set the communication channels of the incoming communication cable 20 based on the specifications of the incoming communication cable 20 and the user households currently participating in the communication service in the public residential building 10. In the above example, the communication performance management device 100 can set a total of 100 communication channels for the incoming communication cable 20, targeting the 20 households currently participating in the communication service.

[0061] Here, the communication performance management device 100 can set up a communication channel for the incoming communication cable 20 based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). Furthermore, a communication channel refers to the path through which any communication device can send and receive data without interference from other communication devices.

[0062] Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) uses multiple closely spaced orthogonal subcarrier signals to transmit data in parallel through multiple communication channels. In this case, conventional modulation systems such as Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) or Phase-Shift Keying (PSK) are used to modulate each subcarrier at a low symbol rate while maintaining a similar overall data rate to a conventional single-carrier modulation system of the same bandwidth. OFDM is a known technique; therefore, please refer to the known descriptions for details.

[0063] Furthermore, the communication performance management device 100 sets the number of basic communication channels based on the number of communication channels provided for the introduced communication cable 20 and the number of users 30 in the corresponding public residential building 10, and allocates the basic communication channels corresponding to the set number to each user 30. Here, a basic communication channel refers to the communication channel allocated to each household within the public residential building 10. For example, as described above, a total of 100 communication channels are provided for the introduced communication cable 20, and when the number of users 30 currently enrolled in the communication service in the public residential building 10 is 20, the communication performance management device 100 can allocate 5 basic communication channels to each household. Thus, in each user household 30, five communication devices can simultaneously send and receive data through their respective communication channels without interfering with each other.

[0064] The communication performance management device 100 can match and store information corresponding to the basic communication channel allocated to each user household 30 with identification information corresponding to each user household 30. At this time, the communication performance management device 100 provides identification information in response to each communication channel set in the input communication cable 20, and can match and store the identification information of the basic communication channel allocated to each user 30 with the identification information of each user 30.

[0065] In response to each subscribing household, the communication performance management device 100 determines the number of communication devices currently connected to the network (S105). At this time, the communication performance management device 100 can refer in real-time or during each setting cycle to data packets sent and received from each user household 30, and determine the number of communication devices currently connected to the network for each user household based on the identification information of each communication device included in the referenced data packets. Furthermore, even if not currently connected to the network, if a connection request signal requesting network connection is received from at least one communication device, the communication performance management device 100 can determine the number of communication devices requesting connection based on the identification information of the communication device contained in the connection request signal.

[0066] The communication performance management device 100 stores access information S107 for each user, including the number of determined communication devices, identification information corresponding to each user 30, and current time information. Specifically, the communication performance management device 100 matches the identification information of each user household 30 with the number of communication devices currently connecting to or requesting network connection for each user household 30, and the time information for querying the currently connecting or requesting network connection devices, and stores this as connection information for each user household. At this time, the communication performance management device 100 categorizes and stores the connection information for each user household by time period, day, month, quarter, etc., and calculates the average number of communication devices for each user household by time period, week, month, quarter, etc., based on the connection information stored for each user household within a set time interval, such as one year.

[0067] In each user household 30, the communication performance management device 100 identifies users whose number of currently connected communication devices is less than a set minimum as the first user. At this time, the communication performance management device 100 can consider not only currently connected communication devices but also communication devices requesting network access to identify the first user. For example, when five basic communication channels are allocated to each user household as described above, the communication performance management device 100 sets three as the minimum and can identify users in each user household whose number of currently using communication services or requesting network connection is less than three as the first user.

[0068] Furthermore, in each user household, the communication performance management device 100 identifies users whose number of currently connected communication devices exceeds a set maximum as second users (S109). At this time, the communication performance management device 100 can consider not only currently connected communication devices but also communication devices requesting connection to the current network to identify second users. For example, when five basic communication channels are allocated to each user household as described above, the communication performance management device 100 sets six as the maximum value, and users in each user household with six or more communication devices currently using the communication service or requesting network connection are identified as second users.

[0069] The communication performance management device 100 predicts the number of communication devices connected to each of the 30 member households based on the connection information stored within a set period (S111). At this time, the communication performance management device 100 can predict the number of communication devices that each member household will connect to in the future, based on the average number of communication devices for time periods, days, weeks, months, and seasons, etc., according to the stored connection information for each member household. Furthermore, the communication performance management device 100 can predict the number of communication devices that each member household will connect to in the future more specifically by combining the average number of communication devices for each user household, such as the time periods, days, weeks, months, and seasons stored by each user within a set time interval. For example, the communication performance management device 100 can predict the number of communication devices connected from now until the next time period based on the average number of communication devices for each user's time periods stored within a one-year time interval. Additionally, the communication performance management device 100 can predict the number of communication devices connected for a specific time period tomorrow by combining the average number of communication devices for each member household's time periods, days, weeks, months, and seasons stored within a one-year time interval.

[0070] The communication performance management device 100 converts at least one of the basic communication channels assigned to the household 30 identified as the first user to the communication channel of the household 30 identified as the second user. For example, as described above, when allocating five basic communication channels to each household, the communication performance management device 100 can convert two communication channels for the first household with three or fewer communication devices currently connected to the network or requesting network connection, and convert communication channels for the second household with six or more communication devices currently connected to the network or requesting network connection.

[0071] For users 30 identified as the first user household, the communication performance management device 100 can sequentially list them from the users with the fewest communication devices currently connected to or requesting to connect to the network.

[0072] In addition, the communication performance management device 100 can sequentially list the households 30 identified as second users from the user households with the largest number of communication devices currently connected to the network or requesting to connect to the network.

[0073] At this time, the communication performance management device 100 can switch to the basic communication channel of the user in the household identified as the first user, who has the fewest communication devices currently accessing the network or requesting access, and the communication channel of the household identified as the second user.

[0074] In addition, the communication performance management device 100 can also assign the communication channel switched in the first joining family from the joining family that is identified as the second joining family and has the largest number of communication devices currently connecting to the network or requesting connection.

[0075] Furthermore, the communication performance management device 100 can switch basic communication channels based on the predicted number of communication devices. In this case, the communication performance management device 100 categorizes the calculated average number of communication devices for each user household (time period, day, week, month, season, etc.) in order from the shortest to the longest time interval, with the average number of communication devices for each time interval ordered from the smallest to the largest. Additionally, the communication performance management device 100 can prioritize switching the basic communication channel corresponding to user households whose predicted number of communication devices in the shortest time interval is less than or equal to the current number of communication devices in the household identified as the first user. For example, the communication performance management device 100 can prioritize switching the basic communication channel for user households identified as the first user whose predicted number of communication channels for the time period one hour from now is equal to the number of communication devices currently connecting to the network or requesting connection.

[0076] Additionally, the communication performance management device 100 can measure the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each basic communication channel assigned to the identified first user household. In this case, the communication performance management device 100 can switch to basic communication channels with an SNR higher than a set value. Preferably, the communication performance management device 100 will switch sequentially to other communication channels joining the household, starting with the communication channel with the highest SNR (i.e., the communication channel with the lowest noise).

[0077] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but this is merely an example, and anyone skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent implementations can be made therefrom. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is to be determined not only by the scope of the following patent claims, but also by equivalent scopes of protection.
