Solution Approach 1:

The network optimization device continuously collects network performance parameters and uses this feedback to dynamically adjust optimization policies. The system monitors network conditions in real-time and automatically updates policies based on current performance data, enabling adaptation to changing network conditions without manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms static manual policy configuration into a dynamic automated system. The network optimization algorithm continuously processes updated network performance parameters and adjusts policies in real-time, making the system adaptable to dynamic network conditions rather than relying on fixed manually-configured policies.

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network optimization device extracts only the necessary performance parameters from the network links that are relevant to the target service flow. Instead of collecting and processing all possible network data, the system identifies and processes only the critical parameters needed for accurate policy determination, reducing data volume while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by focusing data collection and processing on specific network links that are directly relevant to the target service flow. The system processes performance parameters locally for only those links that impact the service flow, rather than uniformly processing data from the entire network, thereby reducing overall processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A method for determining a network optimization policy, an apparatus, and a system are provided. A network optimization device can process a performance parameter of a network and a service requirement of a target service flow by using a network optimization algorithm, to obtain a target network optimization policy, and can apply the target network optimization policy to the target service flow, to enable transmission performance of the target service flow to satisfy the service requirement.
