Client Terminal Standby Policy Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for managing client terminal standby in telecommunications networks fail to optimize energy savings without degrading the quality of service, particularly in complex networks with varying service availability and diverse transmission technologies.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method that determines a standby policy based on the client terminal's type and configuration, monitors traffic states on both client and access network interfaces, and optimally decides when to put the interfaces on standby, ensuring consistent information sources and minimizing service impact.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If the client terminal is put on standby to save energy, then energy consumption is reduced, but the quality of service may be degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different standby policies to different interfaces of the client terminal based on their specific characteristics and service requirements. The system evaluates each interface individually (client interface vs access network interface) and applies standby only where appropriate, rather than a uniform approach to all interfaces, thus optimizing energy savings while maintaining service quality where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The standby policy is dynamically adjusted based on real-time traffic state monitoring. The system continuously monitors traffic on both interfaces and adapts the standby state accordingly - entering standby when traffic is low and exiting when traffic increases, making the energy consumption and service quality trade-off dynamic rather than static.
2Use of energy by moving object
If the client terminal enters standby state, then energy savings are achieved, but detection of malfunction becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary monitoring mechanism that operates during standby state. The system monitors traffic states on both interfaces even when in standby, acting as an intermediary between the standby state and malfunction detection requirements, allowing detection of anomalies without fully exiting the energy-saving state.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback through continuous monitoring of traffic states on both client and access network interfaces. This feedback mechanism allows the system to detect malfunctions by identifying abnormal traffic patterns or states, enabling reliable detection while maintaining the energy benefits of standby operation.
3Device complexity
If standby policy is applied without considering service availability, then energy optimization is simplified, but quality of experience is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies differentiated standby policies based on service availability characteristics. High availability services receive different treatment (less aggressive standby) compared to services with limited availability, ensuring that quality of experience is maintained for critical services while allowing energy savings on less critical ones.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the standby policy parameters based on service availability classification. By categorizing services into different availability levels and adjusting standby behavior accordingly, the system optimizes energy consumption without degrading the quality of experience for high-availability services.

AI summary
The invention pertains to a processing of data for the management of the placement on standby of a client terminal connected to an operator terminal of an access network, the method comprising, in said client terminal, the following steps: a) determining a policy for placing the client terminal on standby as a function of a type of said client terminal, of a predefined configuration of said client terminal, and/or of services configured for said client terminal, b) monitoring a client interface of said client terminal, disposed between said client terminal and a part of a local network situated downstream of said client terminal, so as to determine a state of traffic on said client interface, and, as a function of the state of traffic and of said policy for placing on standby, ordering said client interface to be placed on standby, then, when the client interface is on standby, c) monitoring an access network interface of said client terminal, disposed between said client terminal and said operator terminal, so as to determine a state of traffic on said access network interface, and, as a function of the state of traffic and of said policy for placing on standby, sending said operator terminal a request to place said access network interface on standby.
