Telephony Traffic Control Module for Network Congestion Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Network congestion in telephony systems often results in queueing delay, packet loss, and blocking of new connections due to excessive data, leading to reduced network throughput, and existing solutions fail to effectively address these issues.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that intercept and analyze telephony connection requests to determine whether they should be forwarded, using a traffic control module to identify and manage requests from autodialers, invalid numbers, and other sources of congestion, by accessing do-not-call lists and determining routing information, thereby reducing network congestion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If connection requests are forwarded to intended recipients, then network throughput is maintained, but network congestion increases due to excessive data from autodialers and invalid numbers
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of connection requests by examining calling patterns, recipient validity, and do-not-call list matches before forwarding requests to recipients. This advance filtering prevents excessive data from autodialers and invalid numbers from entering the network, reducing congestion while maintaining throughput for legitimate calls
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary analysis layer between connection request sources and the telephony network. This intermediary component evaluates requests against multiple criteria (autodialer detection, recipient validation, do-not-call lists) and selectively forwards only appropriate requests, thereby reducing network congestion without blocking legitimate traffic
2Use of energy by moving object
If all connection requests are processed, then network resource utilization is maximized, but queueing delay increases due to excessive data volume
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary filtering of connection requests before they enter the network queue by detecting autodialer patterns, validating recipient numbers, and checking do-not-call lists. This advance processing reduces the volume of requests that would otherwise contribute to queueing delay while maintaining efficient utilization of network resources for legitimate calls
3Object-affected harmful factors
If connection requests from autodialers and invalid numbers are blocked, then network congestion is reduced, but legitimate connection requests may be incorrectly filtered
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses multiple detection parameters and thresholds to distinguish legitimate calls from autodialer traffic, including calling pattern analysis, recipient validation, and do-not-call list matching. By adjusting and optimizing these parameters, the system reduces network congestion while minimizing false positives that would block legitimate connections
Data Source
AI summary
A system, method and non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when read by a processor perform receiving a telephony connection request at a location in a telephony network, the location separated from the intended recipient of the telephony connection request by a target telephony network, determining addressing information regarding the intended recipient, the addressing information including at least routing information or a phone number, accessing a do-not-call list, the do-not-call-list including one or more telephony recipients and recipient addressing information for each telephony recipient, the recipient addressing information including at least routing information or a phone number, and determining whether the target addressing information matches any recipient addressing information.
