Dynamic QoS Tagging for Network Resource Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing QoS tagging techniques are static and inflexible, leading to inefficient resource utilization, degradation of service quality, and failure to adapt to varying traffic patterns and congestion in communication networks.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic QoS tagging system that uses a network monitor component to determine network performance levels associated with different QoS tags by sending test messages and analyzing responses, allowing for automatic adjustment of QoS tag assignments to optimize resource utilization and ensure service quality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If static QoS tagging techniques are used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to varying network conditions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic QoS tagging by continuously monitoring network performance metrics (latency, packet loss, jitter) and automatically adjusting QoS tag assignments in real-time based on current network conditions, transforming the static tagging system into a dynamic one that adapts to varying traffic patterns and congestion levels
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs feedback mechanisms by monitoring network performance indicators and using this information to dynamically adjust QoS tag assignments, creating a closed-loop control system that continuously optimizes resource allocation based on actual network conditions
2Productivity
If static QoS tagging is used, then ease of operation is improved, but resource utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The QoS tagging system performs self-optimization by automatically monitoring network conditions and adjusting tag assignments without manual intervention, enabling the system to self-manage resource allocation and improve utilization efficiency while maintaining operational simplicity
3Reliability
If dynamic QoS tagging adjustment is implemented, then service quality is improved, but measurement and detection difficulty increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining performance thresholds and QoS tag mappings, allowing it to automatically adjust tags when monitored metrics cross these thresholds, thereby maintaining service quality while simplifying the measurement process through rule-based decision-making

AI summary
Enhanced tag management of QoS tags associated with services can be performed. Network monitor component (NMC) can send test signals to network equipment to trigger sending of test messages and test response messages associated with tags between network equipment. NMC can receive performance indicator information from network equipment based on network responses associated with tags to test messages. NMC can analyze the performance indicator information, service specifications associated with services, original QoS tag information, and current QoS tag information to determine which services are or can be satisfied at which tags, and determine whether adjustments to assignments of tags are to be performed. Based on analysis results, NMC can promote a service from its original tag to a higher tag, demote a service from a higher tag to its original tag, and/or temporarily ban a service from being promoted from its original tags to a higher tag.
