Application-Aware Network Resource Allocation for Lower Power Use
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In SA networking, network resources are established at maximum rates, leading to resource waste and increased power consumption due to mismatch between required and allocated network resources for applications.
Innovation Solution
A resource allocation method that determines network resources based on application data flow characteristics and adjusts resources using fault-tolerance rates to match application needs, reducing waste and power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If network resources are established at maximum rates in SA networking, then network resource allocation capacity is improved, but resource waste and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic resource allocation by establishing multiple network resource pools with different network slice types, where resources are dynamically assigned based on application requirements rather than statically allocated at maximum rates. The system adjusts resource allocation in real-time according to actual network conditions and application needs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes resource allocation parameters by introducing fault-tolerance rate as a key parameter. Different applications are allocated resources based on their specific fault-tolerance requirements, allowing the system to optimize the balance between resource allocation and power consumption by adjusting allocation parameters rather than using fixed maximum rates.
2Adaptability or versatility
If network resources are established at maximum rates, then resource allocation flexibility is improved, but resource mismatch with application requirements worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating different network resource pools with different network slice types tailored to specific application requirements. Each resource pool has customized characteristics (bandwidth, latency, reliability) matched to the specific needs of applications such as enhanced mobile broadband, ultra-reliable low-latency communication, or massive machine type communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts resource allocation based on real-time assessment of application requirements and actual network conditions. The network device monitors application performance and adjusts resource allocation dynamically, ensuring both flexibility and precision in matching resources to requirements.
3Manufacturing precision
If fault-tolerance rate is used to adjust resource allocation, then resource allocation precision is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces fault-tolerance rate as a key parameter for resource allocation, allowing precise control over resource distribution. By using this parameter, the system can accurately match resources to application requirements while maintaining a manageable allocation mechanism through standardized parameter-based control.

AI summary
A resource allocation method can be applied to a terminal, and include: determining an application currently running on the terminal and determining network resources required by the application; requesting and acquiring resources allocated by a network side according to the network resources required by the application. By applying to the network device according to the network resources required by the application, waste of resources and power consumption can be reduced.
