Describe in detail

The present invention can implement in many ways, including such as process；Device；System；The combination of material；It is included in computerComputer program on readable storage medium；And/or processor, it is stored in and this processor phase coupling as being configured to executionThe processor of instruction that is on the memorizer closed and/or that be provided by.In this manual, these are implemented or the present invention can takeAny other form be referred to alternatively as technology.It is said that in general, the order of the step of disclosed process is within the scope of the inventionIt is changeable.Except as otherwise noted, the described the assembly such as processor or memorizer that are configured to carry out task can conductsIt is configured to perform the general purpose module of this task in the given time or be made as carrying out the specific assembly of this task temporarilyImplement.As used herein, term " processor " refer to be configured to process one of data (such as computer program instructions) orMultiple devices, circuit and/or process core.

Because network capacity gain is less than meeting the demand that the digital networking increased requires, due at various wireless networks(such as mobile network) upper network congestion increased occurred, a kind of network capacity crisis produces.3G, 4G and otherThe various intelligent telephone equipments that become in advanced radio network to become more and more popular, net book device, tablet computing device and eachThe increasing quantity planting other wireless mobile computing device is facilitating network capacity crisis.Some Virtual network operators refer toGoing out, relatively small number of user on such devices require that serious disproportionate a large amount of network capacitys with it.Such as, AT&T isClosely have been pointed out, its intelligent telephone equipment user (such as, Fructus Mali pumilae of about 3 percentUser) generating operation40 about the percent of the data traffic of business.

Such as, in the wireless network, because Internet resources/capacity requirement raises, management wireless access connection capacity and netIt is important for safeguarding network performance that network accesses connection resource.When offered load increases, if using capacity managementAnd/or network resource management, many network performance measurements advantageously can be safeguarded or improved.Such as, these performance measurementsIncluding network availability；Connect to all of device, user and/or search and can be used in the application of the service on network and passSend the ability of connection；Network insertion trial and success rate；One or more devices, user or the transfer rate of application experience；AllDevice, user and/or the average transmission rate of application experience；The network bit error rate or packet error rate；Ask from network insertionDelivered accesses the time delay connected；The one-way latency of transmission or round-trip delay；The delay timing shake of transmission；One orTime change in the transfer rate of multiple connections；Network is to needing the device of difference Connection Service quality (QoS) class, userOr application delivers the ability of various asked/required QoS grade；Network operation efficiency (such as, run through all devices,User and/or application and the aggregated service handling capacity measured) ability；Network runs through multiple and is respectively provided with identical quality of service classOr the identical device of service program performance parameter, user and/or application and share equably or liberally or distribution performance is surveyedThe ability of amount (such as, performance measurement listed above).

Such as, if (such as, one group of device on a wireless network, such as a given base for one group of user's setStand or base station controller or Microcell or picocell；Or the one group of device etc. on cable modem network) have oneIndividual limited shared amount of bandwidth, and if multiple and/or all devices allow all of application undistinguishable ground access or tasteExamination access network resource or transmission/reception flow, then this network generally can become overload.As a result of which it is, user/deviceCollect or in some cases, most or all of user/device obtains the best network performance.As another example, asFruit forms one or more devices of a device subset on network and connects with allowing multiple and/or all of application undistinguishableEnter or attempt access network resource or transmission/reception flow, then this network can become overload.As a result of which it is, a user/deviceSubset or in some cases, most or all of user/device obtains the best network performance.

Traditionally, mobile device typically has special design, and these designs are optimised thus retain network capacity alsoProtection Internet resources will not overload.Such as, browse the wireless device of the Internet generally use special agreement (such as WAP) andData traffic compression or low resolution technology rather than standard HTTP and the flow used in limited internet apparatus.

But, these are generally implemented for the wireless device implementing special method accessing the Internet and/or other networksThe complicated specification provided by one or more cellular carriers having the network that this device is designed to access it.ThisComplicated specification usually requires that time-consuming design, test and verification process.These procedure division ground have makes those qualifiedAnd be ready to perform the effect that the basis of the device provisioning business of required Specific Design Work narrows, slow down and new equipment is rendered to cityTime on field, increase the expense of exploitation new equipment and reduce the type of supported application.

Device OEM is up-to-date have been createed and is designed to be the most optimised more like standard the Internet device thus protectsStay the wireless device of network capacity and resource.Many wireless service clients intentionally get such device, and these OEMOften want to the time reduced complexity and render on market by such device.Additionally, the newest market demand and newGovernment demand require operator to provide a more open process thus new equipment introduced its network, wherein this process is notNeed all these special design described above and certification.These and other factors various are just promoting lower complexityProperty and the design of time-consuming wireless device and the demand increased of verification process and trend.

This trend has caused many operators to start selling the device being designed to be more like standard the Internet service unit,These devices are connected to the Internet or other data network by operator wireless network.Along with cellular network is to increasingly, there is a kind of growing requirement to allow common interconnection network device and application to obtain in many new equipment, application and market accessWireless network must be accessed without experiencing special design and verification process, so that device and application are for accessing thisIt is efficient for class wireless network and through authorizing.

But, common interconnection network device is not saved or saves wireless network access bandwidth.And, along with the shape that forever networksThe appearance of the wide area network of state, result in, to the connection of the Internet, the access being typically assumed to be dirt cheap and has not generally notedThe popular Internet service of such as network busy state and application.Along with more at various wireless networks (such as, mobile wirelessNetwork) on common interconnection network device be supplied to us, a lot of inefficient wireless networks access persistently to be occurred, and this is sometimesNetwork capacity can be reduced to hinder this device (such as, user, device, software requirement) and/or over the wireless network itsHis device and/or this wireless network segment level to the access of service.As discussed above, for wireless network bandwidth, capacity,And the wise use of resource typically results in the more preferably service to all users, but now, device manufacturer and wirelessNetwork Provider (such as, wireless carriers or operators) does not the most provide or implements more intelligent bandwidth and uses skillArt.These factors typically result in the less operator to device design and control, and this causes protects longer-term network capacity and performanceThe threat stayed, because the quantity with the device optimizing less wireless design persistently rises.

There is network performance and user performance factor that many is affected by network efficiency, including such as, overall network is congested；The access network that one or more groups user, device, application, network service source, communication protocol and/or operation system function are experiencedNetwork performance；And/or given user, device, application, network service source, communication protocol and/or operation system function instituteThe performance of experience.Under a relatively low capacity requirement to wireless network, as by one group of device, application, network service source, communicationAgreement, operation system function and/or user or by a single device, application, network service source, communication protocol, operation systemThe network performance that system function and/or user are experienced can the most proportionally be demoted and (such as, network be deliveredAggregate flow can be the most proportional for peak value available network flow), along with from one or more groups user, dressPut, apply, network service source, communication protocol and/or the network insertion of operation system function and/or the progressively increasing of traffic demandAdd.But, owing to Internet resources/network capacity requirements increase (such as, demand more wireless network data flow generally；More device is serviced by network；More user is serviced by network；More application is serviced by network；More netNetwork service source is serviced by network；More operation system function is serviced by network；And/or more difference QoS session byNetwork is serviced), network availability/performance can reduce and/or network can be one or more users, device fully, answerWith, network service source, communication protocol and/or operation system function service, or can not be one or more groups user, device, shouldWith, network service source, communication protocol and/or operation system function service.

Have how about the network capacity requirements increased reduces many examples of network performance, including such as, each deviceThe reduction of the average bandwidth provided is (such as, in a device, application, network service source, communication protocol and/or on the apparatusOne or more users of the operation system function performing/implementing)；The increase of flow delivery latency；Flow delivery latency is shakenIncrease；To one or more devices, user, application, network service source, communication protocol and/or operation system function oneOr the bandwidth of insufficient guaranteed or difference of multiple difference QoS and/or dynamic QoS service (such as described by this)；The delay increased of RSVP service；The delay increased of QoS reservation service；Property with one or more communication protocolsCan problem；Unacceptable delay in Consumer's Experience, and/or led by the network capacity of the network availability reduced and/or reductionCause various other or similar result and device or customer impact.There is the network performance of too much offered load or degradationThe example of network communication protocol of made performance degradation include, such as, Internet protocol (IP), HTML agreement, voice communicationAgreement (including VOIP agreement), live video communication agreement, stream media protocol (such as, audio frequency, video etc.), Game Protocol, VPNAgreement, file download protocol, background service agreement, software upgrading agreement and/or other network communication protocols various.Therefore, protectIt is important for staying/protect network capacity.

Control within a given period by given Internet resources (such as, edge network section, base station, base stationController, MAC resource, picocell, Microcell etc.) quantity of required transaction is also important, so that demand is notSurpass the transactional services ability of these Internet resources.Such as, the Internet resources that should not experience excess transactions demand can include base stationOr base station controller resource, medium education (MAC) resource, flow carry resource, AAA resource, safety or certification resource, returnBelong to agency's (HA) resource, DNS resource, in Network finding as a part of resource, gateway or router resource, data sessionReserved or set up resource (such as, manage, set up, carry out and/or close service conversation, PPP session, communication process, communication stream,QoS flow journey, RAB reserve the Internet resources that resource, tunnel, VPN, APN, special service route etc. are required), bandwidthReserved resource, QoS reservation or resource of coordinating, QoS conveying resource, service charge resource, flow analysis resource, network security moneySource and/or various other or similar Internet resources.In some networks, owing to participating in setting up, service, carry out, safeguard,And/or close one or more nets that the information needed for required network service connects and/or carries out a service activity exchangesNetwork resource or limited trading processing ability or limited flow bandwidth and the various Internet resources that cause become to bear and more comeThe biggest, be stepped up of Internet resources/capacity requirement given measurement the network performance degradation caused can becomeRelatively large.Such as, if needing the equipment setting up a PPP session can only process certain number in each given periodNew PPP session is opened and/or is closed, and if device behavior be so that PPP session is often unlocked and/or closes, thenPPP session transaction rate (such as, open and/or close) can be more than the trade capacity of PPP session management resource.This is sometimes referred to asThere is overfull demand or " the flooding " or " overload " to Internet resources of excess connection, and, in this type of situation, networkResource service transacting demand side can start with one control well mode (such as, Internet resources can with or approximationIt is that these Internet resources continue with transaction with a maximum speed) lag behind, or in some cases, this resource is permissibleOne controls not to be good mode, and (such as, Internet resources may over-burden, so that its processing speed not only fallsAfter amounting to transactions demand, and transaction rate disposal ability also reduces under overload) fall after transactions demand.In PPP meetingWords are set up in resource instances, and the speed of the transaction once asked exceedes resource maximum transaction rate, the device need the most not metAsk and can rise to a point, at this point, one or more devices be attached with network and/or communicate (such as, send/Receive data) time experience postpone.

As another example, in any class of Stochastic accessing RSVP agreement, MAC protocol or bandwidth delivering protocolIn type, in not there is the suitably management that flow accesses reserved and/or transmission and/or the network controlled, owing to network needsAsk increase, in reservation request, flow transmission, application demand, network service source demand, communication protocol requirements and/or operating systemThere may be more conflict between functional requirement, cause and can make user, device, application and/or network service performance degradationThe reduction of network efficiency, so that performance is reduced under acceptable degree.As another example, there is oneQoS service session is reserved in the system of system, and QoS reservation that is unsteered and/or that do not manage asks and/or reserve mandate to leadCause QoS reservation resource and/or QoS service delivery resources and be reduced to the burden of point under required degree to QoS service performanceOverweight situation.As another example, requiring that some least resource for transmitting, reserve or Internet resources being concluded the business are dividedJoin in the network of form, if one or more device, application, network service resource, operation system function and/or communication protocolsDiscuss, for small-sized transmission payload, there is higher Internet resources access attempts, network insertion or message transmission rate (such as, minimumMAC reserve the factor, the minimum safe expense factor, the minimum QoS reservation factor, to setting up minimum time response that base station connects, rightSet up or close/minimum time the response etc. of release from a session), network can become poor efficiency.Even if including access eventsPacket be small-sized, complete the Internet resources needed for this access events generally than the time segment length needed for actual data transferMany periods in be busy with servicing for this access events.

Another example of the device service activity behavior that can affect network performance is device, device subsystem and/or adjustsModulator-demodulator subsystem is from the power down mode power cycle to another or the mode of conversion.Such as, set up from device toWireless base station be substantially connected to a period of time internal consumption base station resource, and in some cases, also can consume other networksResource such as AAA, HLR, HA, gateway, charging and/or charging gateway resource.When modem subsystem (such as, or this deviceSome other parts) from active connection state to power down mode, if device is terminated to the connection of base station, should the most every timeDevice enters power down mode and during with backed off after random power down mode, sometimes measures with the second or the most even at someWith a minute period for measurement, consume Internet resources.Save if such device has a kind of entrance after a short idling cycleThe radical power savings algorithms of electricity condition, then this device behavior can proportionally consume ample resources, so that this network supportThe ability of multiple devices reduces, or makes this network can not support very many similar devices in a network.Another is similar toExample be that once base station connection establishment (such as, sets up a PPP meeting between device and home agent (HA) or other gatewaysWords), then BlueDrama will be set up, if wherein a device presents radical power down mode circulation or continually because of itHis reason terminates data session, and the required Internet resources to open and/or to close this BlueDrama are consumed by unknown.

Another example of the device service activity behavior that can affect network performance be maintain lasting network service shouldWith, this network service generates substantial amounts of network packet.Some application have the lasting signaling belonging to this class.Concrete exampleIncluding device signaling sequence frequently thus update the small routine of desktop PC；Synchronizing user data such as calendar, contact person,Email and/or other information/content；Inspection or more new e-mail or RSS are subscribed to；Access social networking website or workTool；Online text, voice or Video chat instrument；Update real time information；And carry out other behaviors repeated.Can seriously takeThe additional application behavior of Internet resources and capacity includes such as, conference service, video flowing, content update, software upgrading and/Or other or similar application behavior.Such as, even the direct application with this type is not had to interact or be therefrom subject to as userBenefit, this application still can consume important Internet resources at running background continuation potentially.

Such as, it is possible to decrease it is right that the type of capacity and/or the service activity of network resource availability and/or device behavior includesOS and the software upgrading of application, frequently OS and application background network access and signaling, frequently Network finding and/or signaling(such as, EtherType message, ARP message and/or other message communicatings relevant to network insertion), cloud synchronous service, RSSSubscribe to and/or other background information are subscribed to, applied under (such as, web browser) or device behavior report, backstage EmailCarry, content subscription service updates and downloads (such as, music/video download, news subscription etc.), text/voice/video chat visitorFamily end, virus renewal, peer to peer connection working application, network insertion invalid in power cycle frequently or power down mode circulateSequence, a large amount of download or other high bandwidths access and/or constantly and/or continually access network have information littleType transmission or the greedy application program of request.Those of ordinary skill in the art be would is that significantly by other examples various.

So, the highest device transmission bandwidth demand can make network capacity, network performance and/or network resource availabilityDegradation, and that other types are accessed by network resource request, network data or other network interactions cause is lasting or frequentlyFlow can also make network capacity, network performance and/or Internet resources degradation, the total no matter overall data throughput is measuredBandwidth demand is high or low.As such, it is desirable to certain technology retains network capacity, controlled by difference the most in every wayThe network service use activity of these types, depends on that service activity request network insertion and/or request are concluded the business with Internet resourcesType.

Owing to such device on the way moves between cellular basestation, smart phone and similar device are by carrying outThe inquiry frequently of wireless network is increased the weight of this problem, such as, push email, accesses social networking instrument and/or enterOther activities repeated of row.When data traffic is also when increasing, being estimated by some, signaling traffic exceedes actual movement data streamTen to five 13 the percent of amount.Such as, a Yahoo IM user can send a piece of news, but waits between message subsequentlySeveral seconds.In order to protect battery life, smart phone typically enters idle pulley.When user pushed another message after several secondsTime, device has to be again started up signaling paths, and even when this signal resource is discharged by smart phone, typically networkReact the fastest, behind several seconds and sometimes a few minutes, it is provided that next website is to use resource.As a result of which it is, at thisBase station controller its ample resources of positive expense in example goes trial to process this signaling, and therefore it can not carry out other task such asUse the resource outside allocation for data network, and this type of poor efficiency has increased the weight of data network capacity crisis and in this type of nothingCall drop is there is on gauze network.

What smart phone distributors used a kind of solves this problem and to save the method for battery life on its device be realExecuting quick dormancy characteristic, this quick dormancy characteristic allows mobile device to inquire about radio network controller rapidly thus releasesPut connection, so that it can return idle condition quickly.In other words, this device has relayed following facts: mobile phone entersEnter dormancy, saver resource (such as, signaling channel) rather than Internet resources.But, quick dormancy characteristic can be by onlyContinue to ask network release prematurely or by re-establishing and this network along with the request being back connected to this networkConnect request and increase the weight of this problem.

Virtual network operator has typically attempted to the various method based on pure concentration/core network of use and has managed network appearanceAmount.Such as, some operators have been pointed out, and need the capacity planning process of a robust and enough investments to alleviate this and increaseCapacity crisis.Pure centralized network scheme not from the auxiliary of ageng (or service processor) based on deviceCan have some limitations.Such as, for the application of some devices, OS function or other service use activities, under consuming in the airAfter load (OTA) spectral bandwidth is to open or to start to open a communication jacks, if the somewhere of the network that this activity is behind base stationBlocked, although the most not allowed data transmission, network capacity or the resource of appreciable consumption still can be there is.It addition,If service use activity is set up network and connected thus to transmit in data be invasive reattempting to, and network continues to permitPermitted this connection establishment OTA part but in a network somewhere block this connection, then a large amount of capacity can be represented this class behavior by manyDevice consumption, even if not allowing any useful service.Therefore, some are for protecting the embodiment of network capacity to includeSources controlling network service use activity at demand device.Further, in some embodiments, service use withA kind of mode is controlled, and which postpones, stops or reduces service use activity and reattempts to the frequency being connected to network.

In some cases, when service use activity is controlled by center network apparatus, blocks, throttles and/or is delayed, produceGive birth to pure centralized network for protecting the additional defect of the scheme of network capacity, and do not have any mechanism or support to be linked toDevice users interface (UI) thus notify that what this user there occurs and why it occurs.This may result in user gloomyThe carrier customer satisfaction experienced and be lowered.Therefore, in some embodiments, it is provided that UI based on device thus beUser provides about why a service use activity is controlled, blocks, throttles and/or the most controlled realityTime or close to real time information, thus protect network capacity.In some embodiments, it is provided that a kind of UI, this UI inform about useWhen family exists for protecting the purpose of network capacity to arrange, control, rewrite or revise service and uses the option controlled.?In some embodiments, the input of this type of user preference is also corresponding with the change of service use charging.In some embodiments,Led to by a UI owing to the Service controll saving capacity of user changes this type of change in service uses charging causedKnow that sequence communicates with this user.In some embodiments, when the service classified for difference user's notification strategyWhen using activity that user may be caused to check the service program upper limit (such as, the counting SC service ceiling of total data byte), it is used for protectingThe technology of network capacity uses user's warning.

What is desired is that intelligent network monitoring thus wireless network (such as, Radio Access Network and/or core net is providedNetwork) real-time traffic monitoring network service use (such as, packet level/layer, network stack application interface level/layer and/or applicationLevel/layer) and effectively manage Web vector graphic with protection network capacity (such as, when still keeping acceptable Consumer's Experience).MakeBy device assistant service (DAS) technology, and use in some cases network assistance/network technology is supplied to dressPut, Virtual network operator/provider network service uses monitoring to be provided thus more deep geographical solution what device, what useFamily and what application and when and where network congestion problem occurs, enable an operator to when necessary to some regions intelligenceGround increases additional resource and (such as, data traffic is unloaded in Microcell or Wi-Fi hotspot and increases more network moneySource), thus differentially control network service and use and/or differentially network service based on such as network busy state madeWith charging, to protect network capacity.

The intelligent network monitoring of the wireless network of network capacity is protected to wrap for effectively managing network service useInclude and provide device assistant service (DAS) to protect network capacity according to various embodiments described here.Such as, for effectivelyManagement network service uses thus protects the intelligent network monitoring of the wireless network of network capacity can include differentially controlling in the airDownloaded software updates and/or only carries out software upgrading by wired connection.As another example, for effectively managing network clothesMake sure with thus protect the intelligent network monitoring of the wireless network of network capacity can include differentially controlling to require important networkResource or the various application of network capacity.As another example, protect network for effectively managing network service useThe intelligent network monitoring of the wireless network of capacity can include the management caused by the off-position of the repetition in modemNetwork insertion connection request, its reconnect that may result in resource-intensive and/or re-authentication process.As another example,Protect the intelligent network monitoring of the wireless network of network capacity can include for protecting for effectively managing network service useHold the technology of PPP session persistence, thus avoid for re-establish PPP session and the needs of consumption of network resources (such as, unless shouldImply that average turn-on time is sufficiently long for there being PPP session to be broken with behavior analysis, and be not resulted in overall networkResource limit).

It is used for setting up on network that one single-ended or (one or more) end-to-end guaranteed service etc. unlike traditionalThe QoS technology of level is such, disclosed herein for protecting the enforcement of the technical assistance of the network capacity service on network, thusAssist to control some difference serviced (such as, to reduce network congestion, network capacity requirements, network money with protection network capacitySource demand；And/or increase network availability).As the most disclosed herein, disclosed herein for protecting the technology of network capacityAid in the enforcement of service on network, thus assist to control some difference serviced can also pass through with protection network capacityNetwork capacity/level of availability required for maintenance assists QoS to implement, thus assists the delivery of some QoS grade/class.ExampleAs, disclosed herein assist some is serviced for protecting the multiple service of technology polymerizable of network capacity and/or deviceDifference control, to protect network capacity.As another example, disclosed herein for protecting the technology of network capacity to use(such as, dynamically distribute/classify in providing dynamic QoS classification and reassignment/reclassification is (based on various standards, event and/or surveyAmount) network service use activity to various QoS grade/classes, as described in this) thus assistance difference control that some is servicedSystem, to protect network capacity.

In some embodiments, QoS session refers to that, for given device, the QoS flowing through QoS channel or QoS link makesThe flow of energy.This QoS flow amount supports QoS service activity.In some embodiments, QoS service activity include having one toRequested, the configuration determining QoS grade or the device service preferably serviced use.In some embodiments, device QoS livesDynamic is the one or more combination in the following: application, destination, source, socket (such as, IP address, agreement and/orPort), socket addresses (such as, port numbers), URL or other similar service identifiers, service provider, network type,Discharge pattern, content type, procotol, conversation type, QoS identification symbol, temporal information, network capacity (such as, network busyState), user's service program mandate or continue, roaming/local network state and/or other be as the described herein similar toStandard/measurement.Such as, QoS session the QoS service activity supported can include VOIP flow, streaming media video flow, at net(multimedia conferencing connected such as network (such as, shares demonstration, figure for the difference access bandwidth of network peak hours/period, real-time, interactive flowPicture, video, voice and/or other this type of application/service)), as possible transmit mutual (such as internet browsing), the clothes of time-sensitiveBusiness (as email message theme delivers), approximate real time interactive service (if SMS or propelling movement are with talk), backstage download service(such as email download and alternative document transmission (such as, FTP)) and/or true backstage download service are (such as software upgrading (exampleAs, the OS updated including content/signature or application software update and/or anti-malware updates)).

In some embodiments, various QoS grade or class are supported.Such as, conversation class can provide real-time traffic, and this is real-timeFlow the most very delay-sensitive, but tolerable error code or packet loss.Typically, conversation class for ip voice (VOIP) andVideophone, wherein the user of this type of service is benefited from the short delay feature of this conversation class.Streaming Media class is similar with conversation class,Except Streaming Media quasi-representative more than conversation class tolerance postpone.Streaming Media class is being generally user when the one end connected(such as, human user) and the other end be machine/computer (such as, streaming media content is applied, as video flowing (asFilm or other video contents)) time use.Interactive class is typically for allowing when requiring the rational low-response time to postponeThe flow of change (such as, web page browsing or other application, wherein can not use channel in long period, but when user pleaseDuring the page/the data looked for novelty, response time should be the lowest.).Background class is generally used for the service of lowest priority to be madeWith (such as, be typically used in the Email with or without download/adnexa, application software update, O/S software update and/Or other similar applications/functions).In some embodiments, various QoS classes or service can be used for conversation class.Real at someExecuting in scheme, various QoS classes or service can be additionally used in Streaming Media class.In some embodiments, various QoS classes or service also may be usedFor interactive class, but typically it is not useable for background class.As being to those of ordinary skill in the art now it will be evident that baseLower or higher granularity can be had in service use/channel requirements and/or other classes various of the network architecture.

In some embodiments, QoS link or QoS channel support a QoS session.In some embodiments, QoSLink or QoS channel support multiple QoS sessions.In some embodiments, it is provided that QoS link configuration thus be one giveQoS session or one group of QoS session QoS flow amount grade is set.

In some embodiments, QoS channel is single-ended QoS channel or end-to-end QoS channel.Such as, if QoSChannel is end-to-end, then each QoS for QoS channel enables link, and QoS channel configuration is complete in the way of a kind of coordinationBecome.If QoS channel is single-ended, then network element and/or device participate in a configuration held of QoS channel as much as possible, willThe other end of channel is left in QoS configuration for, as the device processing flow and/or the responsibility of network element of the QoS channel other end.OneIn a little embodiments, single-ended QoS channel is included in another single-ended QoS channel of the other end.In some embodiments,Only one end has the enforcement of single-ended QoS channel, and the other end of this channel is to transmit the grade of service as possible, and such as, it canUse and than the other end, flux capacity or quality had the place of tightened up restriction in one end of QoS channel and (such as, haveThe VOIP audio call that the QoS of one end enables on 3G wireless network, itself and the cable modem of the underloading at the other endNetwork equipment is compared has relatively stringent bandwidth, and the cable modem network equipment of the underloading of the other end can need not beQoS enables, thus obtains enough voice qualities).

In some embodiments, QoS request (such as, QoS channel request or QoS service request) is to configure for QoSThe request of event, so that one or more QoS service activity can have QoS channel.In some embodiments, QoS canWith property assessment include determining these links in possible QoS channel one or more be whether available (such as, based onNetwork capacity and transmission quality), thus the necessary grade of the QoS channel configuration QoS by being asked.In some embodiments,QoS request is initiated by device, user, application and/or network element/function, as this similarly described in.

In some embodiments, before configuration QoS channel or link (or before response or meeting QoS request), carry outQoS availability assessment with determine whether there is available enough communication channel resources thus must for QoS channel or link configurationThe QoS grade of palpus.In some embodiments, one or more necessary by this channel of this QoS availability assessmentQoS link evaluation can QoS capacity and determine.Such as, available QoS link capacity can be for one or more device flowsPath, device, core network link and/or IPX network link for access network device element links and be estimated.If QoS assessment shows that necessary channel capacity and quality are for the QoS needed for one or more required QoS service activitiesGrade is available, then can authorize QoS channel request or QoS service request.In some embodiments, it is provided that QoS linkOr QoS channel reservation process is with QoS capacity reserved before link or channel configuration and quality, thus ensure available QoS resourceNot allocated between QoS availability assessment and QoS channel configuration.

In some embodiments, after QoS authorizes assessment, QoS availability assessment is carried out.Which prevent when device or useThe operation of nonessential network element when family does not have a QoS of grade needed for enough users plan to exist thus receive, althoughIt is available.This can be as the important screening function on the device carried out in service processor, or by centralized networkFunction is carried out, such as service controller (such as or interchangeably, home agent；Attaching position register (HLR)；Authentication, authorize,And charging (AAA) servers/gateways/function；Base station；In gateway, "Policy and Charging Rules Function (PCRF) one or otherNetwork element/function).In some embodiments, have evaluated QoS availability, and QoS need not be carried out and authorize assessment or right receivingBefore QoS authorizes the response of assessment.

In some embodiments, QoS channel is configured to create QoS channel thus supports QoS session (such as, QoS clothesBusiness activity).In some embodiments, QoS channel configuration includes distribution, route and/or otherwise causes QoS sessionFlow thus flow through the one or more QoS links at the QoS channel distributed.

In some embodiments, device assistant service flow-control and QoS are easily and directly applied to believe into QoSThe problem of road configuration management QoS device link.Therefore, in some embodiments, it is provided that service provider is to assist configurationThe device part of QoS channel.In some embodiments, service processor is by placing higher at higher QoS grade flowThe priority of grade and configure the device link portions of QoS channel.In some embodiments, QoS is implemented by multiple methodPriority, is routed in the first priority in downstream and/or upstream flowrate queue including by the QoS flow amount of higher priority.In some embodiments, by first ensureing bit rate flow with the transmission of higher available section flow rate；Second with the joint controlledFlow rate transmission difference QoS flow amount；3rd transmits flow as possible with the relatively low institute's throttle rate controlled；If when/bandwidth is notThe QoS flow amount of greater degree is taken, and the 4th and/or directly carry out with the relatively low throttle rate controlled transmission background trafficUpstream flowrate is queued up.Such as, can be by by queues traffic and delay or stop having of the QoS priority to lower grade to be returnedTCP acknowledgment operate downstream flow, and for the QoS priority of higher level directly by flow and TCP acknowledgment.So,The device link portions of QoS channel puts available bandwidth at any time according to device, by for queuing priority allocation strategy,It is configured for the delay of device assignment of traffic, throttle rate and TCP acknowledgment return rate.In some embodiments, various devices clothesBusiness processor flow control capability indicates according to one group of network strategy (in some embodiments, plans plan including a userSlightly set), adjust or partly adjust QoS.

In some embodiments, device service processor sets up multiple QoS channel, the most often through device flow pathIndividual QoS channel has flow control policy as the described herein, and each QoS channel strategy group creates different QoS classes.OneIn a little embodiments, use this many QoS channel method, by routing traffic to that there is suitable QoS plan for this QoS activityThe suitable QoS channel that slightly arranges and provide the QoS of the service activity given for.Various technology can be used to provideThe suitably route of QoS channel.Such as, can pass through to use the common of the flow set for association moving phase with all QoS serviceFlow of services control strategy collection and this route is provided, these QoS service action needs or request by common flow of services controlThe QoS that system strategy agent provides.The application of flow of services control strategy collection can be in secondary described strategy enforcement by multiple useThe mode of the embodiment that agency and policy control are acted on behalf of and described is implemented.In this type of embodiment, decrease QoS channelThe problem being assigned to multiple QoS service activity, thus each application service flow control policy in these QoS service activitiesPredetermined set, wherein each predetermined set of flow of services control strategy represents different QoS classes.Subsequently, device can baseIn utilizable flow capacity and quality, to the total polymerization traffic demand of each QoS flow amount class and determine compared with other class of traffic,In utilizable flow capacity and the quality of a given grade, each class of traffic is how configuration difference bit rate and flow massPolicing rule, for the total QoS of all traffic managements.

Based on the aggregate demand to each flow QoS class, and flux capacity and credit rating that this device be can use, clothesBusiness processor can be that each QoS class adjusts total Available Bit Rate or the percentage ratio of utilizable flow capacity.Such as, some embodiment partyIn case, it may be determined that real-time, interactive flow-control class (is such as serviced, such as VOIP, urgency communication service or high-performance competition in real-timeGame) aggregate demand, and the QoS routing function (such as, QoS router agency/function) on device can be first from available streamThe fixed bit rate flux capacity that amount capacity distribution is enough services to meet these, the QoS clothes of this QoS class of the most each needsBusiness activity is assigned to this QoS channel.Due to more this class of traffic of QoS service Operations Requirements, from available apparatus capacityThe capacity being assigned to QoS channel adds, and when less this class of traffic of QoS service action need, this QoS channelCapacity is released.No longer have in the event of the active volume ensureing bit rate QoS grade at device, then will not be to extraNeed, require or ask the QoS service activity of this QoS grade to provide this QoS grade, and alternatively, will be configured with relativelyLow QoS grade maybe will be not allowed to be connected to access network.In some embodiments, can have possible QoS service to liveHierarchical structure between Dong, if so that no longer there is active volume in a given service QoS grade, then forThe active volume of this QoS class is provided to need the service activity of the QoS from up to lowest priority, until available QoSClass capacity is consumed, and to obtain service one or more the lowest on priority list with this QoS class subsequentlyQoS service activity is hit to be fallen relatively low QoS class or is denied access.In some embodiments, once meet for fullThe desired volume of fixed rate traffic demand time full, then divide remaining according to priority policy between other QoS channel classesDevice active volume, wherein this priority policy is relative priority based on each service class, the phase of each QoS service activityTo the combination of priority or the priority of each QoS service class and each QoS service activity.Such as, these relative priorityStrategy can be based on service program selection, type of device, user identity, user's group, setting position, plant network connection, network classType, temporal information, network busy state and/or other standards/measurement, different from device to device.

Nonvolatile memory 2616 is typically disk, CD or the another form of memorizer for big data quantity.Some of these data often write memorizer by direct memory access process the software of computer 2602 term of execution2612.Those of ordinary skill in the art will would readily appreciate that term " machine-readable medium " or " computer-readable medium " includeAny kind of storage arrangement, this storage arrangement is that processor 2608 can be accessed by and also include the load of encoded data signalRipple.

Computer system 2600 is to have an example of the possible computer system of the many of different framework.Such as, basePersonal computer in Intel (Intel) microprocessor often has multiple bus, these buses one of them can be oneBar is for the I/O bus of ancillary equipment, and is that the bus that processor 2608 is directly connected to memorizer 2612 (is generally claimedMake memory bus).These buses are by carrying out the bridge assembly of any required conversion due to different bus protocols evenIt is connected together.

Network computer is another type of computer system, and it may be incorporated in this teaching provided and uses.NetworkComputer does not the most include hard disk or other mass storages, and executable program is loaded into from a network connection and depositsReservoir 2612 is for being performed by processor 2608.Network television system known in the art is also considered as a department of computer scienceSystem, but it can lack some of feature shown in fig. 26, such as some input or output device.One typical computerSystem will generally include at least one processor, memorizer and memorizer be connected to a bus of processor.

It addition, computer system 2600 is by operating system software control, this operating system software includes a file managementSystem, such as hard disk operation system, this document management system is a part for operating system software.There is its file pipe being associatedOne example of the operating system software of reason systems soft ware is known as covering the Microsoft in city from Washington state Randt'sMicrosoft operation system family, and the file management system being associated.There is its file management being associatedAnother example of the operating system software of systems soft ware is (SuSE) Linux OS and the file management system being associated thereof.Literary compositionPart management system is typically stored in nonvolatile memory 2616, and causes processor 2608 needed for performing operating systemVarious actions, with input and output data and store data in memory, be included on nonvolatile memory 2616Storage file.

Figure 27 depicts the figure of system 2700 example for applying specific difference Network access control.At Figure 27Example in, system 2700 includes that network service consumption applies 2702, network service to use analysis engine 2704,Individual application behavioral data stores 2706, network service and uses 7708, application traffic priorization engine of classification engine2710, a network service uses 2714, one, control strategy data 2712, difference Network access control engine of storage to answerWith 2716, application traffic rewrite engine 2718 of flow buffering and a network interface 2720.System 2700 is intended to representOne concrete enforcement of the technology being previously described herein as, for illustration purposes.These technology may be used on one can, there is the motivation for these devices to control network service in application known or easily (wired or wireless) deviceUse.

In the example of Figure 27, network service consumption application 2702 is the application being implemented on device.A phaseIn the use hoped, this application is the software application being at least partially stored in the memorizer on wireless device, although kernelGrade instruction can be embodied as firmware or even hardware.According to the known use of those terms, this application is referred to alternatively as " RUN "On device or be just " to be performed " by device.Known wireless media has more bandwidth and limits, and this is why wireless deviceIt is a use expected, although this technology can may be used on non-wireless means in some sight.

In the example of Figure 27, network service uses analysis engine 2704 to be connected to network service consumption application 2702.NetNetwork service uses analysis engine 2704 to analyze the flow from network service consumption application 2702, and is stored by related dataIn application behavioral data storage 2706.Data can include all flows sent by application, or the subset of flow (such as, hasCertain QoS classification or priority, high resource consumption that the frequent transmission come with self-application causes, be sent to one especiallyDestination etc.).Data may also include the flow received for application.Application behavioral data storage 2706 can be alternativeGround or be otherwise embodied as the storage of traffic sources/destination data, if difference Access Control be source based on flow and/orDestination, it can be valuable.Application behavioral data storage 2706 includes data structure (such as, the note representing dataRecord), these data use to be implemented specific granularity and organizes.Such as, data-interface can represent frame (L2), packet (L3) orMessage.(it may be noted that be commonly used term " packet " data acquisition system that refers to not be restricted to L3.Granularity needed for) is desirableCertainly use where analysis engine 2704 is in network service.The data structure whether elapsed time and change and (such as, change and oneThe data that individual record is associated), due to record aging and replace or be maintained historical data be also implement specific.

In the example of Figure 27, network service uses classification engine 2708 to be connected to network service and uses analysis engine 2704And application behavioral data storage 2706.Network service uses classification engine 2708 classified and stored to store at application behavioral dataFlow in 2706, based on such as network type, temporal information, connection charge, whether local or roaming, network busy state,Whether QoS and special service use activity be on the mutual foreground of user or on the mutual backstage of user or from network serviceUse other features analyzed or obtained by other means.Classifying rules can include such as checking in the following one orMultinomial generation within one specific period the most: user is mutual with this device, user hands over this service use activityMutually, user has picked up this device, use activity UI content is in the foreground of this device UI, this service use activity is broadcast in serviceBefore a certain amount of data have been transmitted in playback frequency or video information, this service use activity, service use activity is in or be not in oneIn platform or background service list.Defining the rule which service use activity classification is such as background service use activity can beThat user selects, service provider is arranged or by some other applicable means.

Advantageously, network service uses analysis engine 2704 can check a special service use activity, and networkService uses classification engine 2708 to can determine that whether this particularly service use activity meets and one or more this particularly takenMake sure with the set that campaign definitions is the such as classifying rules of background service use activity.

In the example of Figure 27, application traffic priorization engine 2710 uses and is stored in network service use control strategy numberAccording to the strategy in storage 2712 determine for and/or from flow suitably preferential of network service consumption application 2702Change.Priorization can make system 2700 trim network service can consume the amount of network resources that application 2702 consumes, or Internet resourcesConsumption rate.This control strategy can need should be for the network resource consumption that throttles, the use etc. of forbidding some Internet resources applied.

Advantageously, application traffic priorization engine 2710 can determine that a special service with a special featureUse activity, as used activity as background service.This can include checking whether to meet a condition.

In the example of Figure 27, difference Network access control engine 2714 is connected to application traffic priorization engine 2710 HeNetwork service uses in control strategy data storage 2712.Difference Network access control engine 2714 causes network service consumption to answerQueue up in application traffic caching 2716 with 2702 flows.If (need not throttling to follow control strategy, certain flow is notNeed except typically caching Anywhere, as in output buffer.) application traffic caching 2716 is intended to represent a realityExecute at output buffer or the caching on the top of other standards buffer storage, and made by difference Network access control engine 2714It is used for assisting to control " rogue " apply, have the application of Deviant Behavior or must otherwise be controlled to meet control planApplication slightly.

Advantageously, when meeting a condition (as when servicing use activity and being a background activity), difference network connectsEnter to control engine and can limit particularly service movable network insertion on probation.

In the example of Figure 27, application traffic rewrite engine 2718 be connected to difference Network access control engine 2714 andApplication traffic caching 2716.Application traffic rewrite engine 2718 enables user or device to run counter to control strategy.This type of is run counter to canPointed out by the notice such as encouraging indulgence or expense.

In an illustrative example, the chat to the application of a running background of device 2700 clog needle, this application is justAttempt annunciator or user behavior.Application traffic priorization engine 2710 determines that this chat has zero priority, so thatStop the network service consumption application 2702 any resource of consumption.One can be sent by application traffic rewrite engine 2718 to user to lead toKnowing, its control strategy forbids applying consumption of network resources, but if the user desired that the resource by being consumed is paid, they are optionalSelect and run counter to control strategy.If the user desired that for resource pay, can by network interface 2720 from application traffic caching 2716 withCertain speed transmitted traffic, or application traffic caching 2716 transmission may not be used.

As another illustrative example, application traffic can be identified as software upgrading by device 2700.Difference network insertionControl engine 2714 to can determine that and can receive software upgrading (may even sort out slower than minimum QoS) with throttle rate.ShouldCan be from user with flow rewrite engine 2718, from user preference, service provider arranges or renewal can be a special application(or being all application) is ignored the analog of control strategy and is received an instruction.
