Network Controller Dedicated Channel Allocation for Signaling Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing network infrastructure faces challenges in managing resource allocation efficiently, particularly when terminals using instant message-type software intermittently send small amounts of data, leading to excessive network signaling consumption that can interfere with normal network services.
Innovation Solution
A network controller system that allocates air interface dedicated channels and network dedicated channels based on policy database information, allowing terminals to transmit discontinuous and short-length application data without establishing complex connections, thereby reducing signaling and resource usage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If terminals use instant message-type software to maintain connection to server, then connection availability is improved, but network signaling consumption increases excessively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential function of maintaining connection availability by introducing a dedicated channel that remains allocated without requiring continuous signaling exchanges. This separates the connection maintenance function from the data transmission function, allowing terminals to stay connected without sending frequent heartbeat packets or access signaling.
Solution Approach 2:
The dedicated channel serves multiple functions simultaneously: it maintains connection availability, enables data transmission when needed, and eliminates the need for separate signaling procedures. This multi-functional approach resolves the contradiction by making a single resource serve both connection maintenance and data transmission purposes.
2Productivity
If network controller allocates resources for each data transmission, then data transmission capability is improved, but resource allocation overhead increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-allocating dedicated channels to terminals before data transmission is needed. The channel allocation is established in advance based on connection requirements, eliminating the need for repeated resource allocation procedures for each data transmission event. This reduces the allocation overhead while maintaining data transmission capability.
3Productivity
If network controller releases air interface resources after short duration, then resource utilization efficiency is improved, but service quality for intermittent traffic deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics by implementing a dual-mode resource allocation strategy: dedicated channels provide stable allocation for terminals with intermittent traffic needs, while dynamic resource allocation continues to serve terminals with continuous traffic. This dynamic approach allows the system to adapt to different traffic patterns, maintaining service quality for intermittent traffic while preserving overall resource utilization efficiency through flexible reallocation when dedicated channels are not in use.

AI summary
The present invention provides a network controller, a system, and a resource allocation method. The terminal includes: a receiving module, configured to receive a resource configuration request for an air interface dedicated channel sent by a base station, where the resource configuration request includes a resource request type and a base station identifier, and the dedicated channel is used for transmitting application data that is discontinuously transmitted and whose length is less than a preset threshold; an allocation module, configured to: allocate an air interface dedicated channel resource to the base station according to information in a policy database, and send information about the air interface dedicated channel resource to the base station by using a first resource configuration message; and a sending module, configured to: after receiving an acknowledgment message returned by the base station, send information about a network dedicated channel resource to a gateway by using a second resource configuration message. Embodiments of the present invention are used to resolve a problem of managing resource allocation in a network when an application or a terminal may affect a normal service in the network.
