Radio Resource Optimization via Heartbeat Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current radio resource management in GPRS and 3G networks leads to low utilization of air interface bandwidth and time when internet applications run in the background, resulting in unnecessary consumption of radio resources due to fixed and pre-allocated resource slices and bandwidth.
Innovation Solution
A radio resource optimizing method that performs deep packet inspection to identify protocol types and heartbeats in network data, dynamically adjusts radio resource allocation parameters based on heartbeat interval periods and bandwidth requirements, and sends these parameters to radio base stations for optimized resource allocation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If fixed time slice and bandwidth are pre-allocated for background applications, then service continuity is maintained, but radio resource utilization rate decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic radio resource allocation by adjusting time slices and bandwidth based on actual application needs. The system transitions from fixed pre-allocation to dynamic allocation where resources are adjusted according to heartbeat detection results, application states, and network conditions, thereby improving resource utilization while maintaining service continuity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes resource allocation parameters (time slice duration, bandwidth) based on detected heartbeat intervals and application requirements. By modifying these parameters dynamically rather than using fixed values, the system optimizes resource utilization while ensuring background applications maintain necessary connectivity.
2Measurement precision
If deep packet inspection is performed to identify heartbeats, then radio resource allocation accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential heartbeat detection functionality from complex packet inspection systems. By focusing specifically on identifying heartbeat patterns in background applications rather than performing full deep packet inspection of all traffic, the system achieves accurate heartbeat detection with reduced complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses simplified packet inspection rules and patterns that replicate the effectiveness of deep inspection for heartbeat detection without implementing the full complexity of DPI. By copying only the necessary detection logic for heartbeat identification, the system achieves measurement precision with lower device complexity.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention provide a radio resource optimizing method, apparatus, and system. The method includes: performing DPI on received network data, so as to identify a protocol type of the network data; if the network data is a first kind of data stream, identifying a heartbeat in the first kind of data stream, and obtaining heartbeat information of the heartbeat; when the heartbeat interval period of the heartbeat information is greater than a radio resource pre-allocated time slice, determining a radio resource bandwidth allocation parameter according to the heartbeat bandwidth requirement of the heartbeat information; and sending a radio resource allocation parameter including the radio resource bandwidth allocation parameter. In this way, the radio resource allocation parameter is dynamically set when an application runs in the background, thereby improving the utilization rate of an air interface bandwidth and time of a radio base station.
