Dynamic Resource Configuration for Network Equipment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional resource configuration methods in packet domain switching rely on static, manually updated tables, leading to inefficient resource allocation and increased server processing capacity waste due to the need for multiple lookups when resources are not immediately available.
Innovation Solution
A dynamic resource configuration method where network equipment automatically updates resource registration information on a server, allowing for real-time updates and reduced lookups, enabling quick and effective resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a static resource configuration table is used, then the system structure is simple, but the resource allocation speed is slow and the server processing capacity is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static resource configuration table into a dynamic structure that automatically updates in real-time. Network equipment actively reports their resource status to the server, which maintains an updated resource configuration table. This dynamic approach eliminates the need for manual table resets and enables fast resource allocation by searching the most current data, directly resolving the contradiction between allocation speed and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service through automatic resource status reporting. Network equipment autonomously notifies the server of their resource availability without requiring manual intervention. The server automatically maintains the resource configuration table by receiving updates from network equipment, eliminating the need for manual table resets and reducing server processing overhead while maintaining accurate, up-to-date resource information.
2Loss of time
If manual table reset is required, then the configuration is stable, but the resource registration information cannot be updated in time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes continuous resource status reporting where network equipment actively notify the server of their resource availability in real-time. This continuous update mechanism ensures that resource registration information is always current without requiring periodic manual table resets, eliminating time loss and maintaining operational convenience through automated persistence.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback loop where network equipment report their resource status to the server, which then uses this information for resource allocation decisions. This feedback mechanism ensures real-time updates of resource registration information without requiring manual intervention, directly addressing the contradiction between update timeliness and operational convenience.
3Reliability
If the server searches all communication switching points sequentially, then the resource allocation is thorough, but the processing capacity is greatly wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having network equipment proactively report their resource status to the server before resource allocation is needed. The server maintains a pre-updated resource configuration table with the most current information from all network equipment. When resource allocation is required, the server can quickly search this pre-prepared data structure, eliminating the need for sequential searching of all communication switching points and significantly reducing server processing capacity requirements while maintaining allocation completeness.

AI summary
A resource configuration method, a server, a network equipment, and a network system are provided. The resource configuration method includes performing a resource configuration on a network equipment according to a resource requirement of the network equipment and updated resource configuration information. The resource configuration information includes resource registration information reported by each of network equipments in a network. By implementing the present invention, the number of lookups for the resources is reduced and the process thereof is shortened, thereby achieving an effective resource allocation. In the case that an update frequency is fast enough, a search for resources is realized by one lookup. With such dynamic resource configuration information, the resource allocation is performed quickly and the waste of processing capacity of the server is avoided effectively.
