Network Virtualization Information Concentrator for Resource Allocation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for managing network virtualization in telecommunications networks are inefficient and unresponsive to sudden changes in network usage, particularly in cloud computing environments where virtualization-related information is not adequately analyzed for resource redistribution.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for analyzing virtualization-related information using an information concentrator that collects data from within and external to the network, applies analytical algorithms to detect patterns, and directs network virtualization operations to an orchestrator for resource allocation and management, including plugins for Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) and Tekelec vCloud, to predict and respond to network load and overload conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual resource redistribution is performed through operator interaction with GUI, then network resource management can be performed with simple system architecture, but responsiveness to sudden changes in network usage is poor and operational efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service through automated resource redistribution. The information concentrator automatically collects virtualization-related information, analyzes it using analytical algorithms, and triggers resource redistribution without operator intervention. This eliminates manual GUI interaction while maintaining system manageability through automated decision-making processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by continuously collecting and analyzing virtualization-related information in advance. The information concentrator monitors network conditions proactively, detecting trends and predicting resource needs before sudden changes occur, enabling preemptive resource allocation that responds quickly to network demands.
2Productivity
If virtualization-related information is not adequately analyzed, then system complexity is reduced, but resource allocation efficiency and responsiveness to network changes deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The information concentrator serves as an intermediary between network virtualization operations and the orchestrator. It collects virtualization-related information from various sources, applies analytical algorithms to process the data, and forwards determined information to the orchestrator for resource allocation decisions, enabling efficient resource management without direct complex analysis in the orchestrator.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the resource management function into distinct components: the information concentrator handles data collection and analysis, while the orchestrator handles resource allocation decisions. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall resource allocation efficiency without requiring the entire system to be complex.
3Measurement precision
If analytical algorithms are applied to detect patterns in virtualization information, then prediction accuracy of resource needs is improved, but processing time and computational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The information concentrator performs continuous collection and analysis of virtualization-related information, maintaining an ongoing process rather than periodic batch processing. This continuous action enables real-time detection of network trends and patterns, improving prediction accuracy while distributing computational load over time to avoid processing bottlenecks.
