Abstract:
A method for ensuring reliability in a network is disclosed, including: distributing, based on service flow, services to multiple home functions entities of the coupled function entity, where the multiple home function entities have identical functional characteristics in the network; taking over, by a first home function entity operating normally, work of a second home function entity to be switched if determining to switch between the multiple home function entities. Through the method, if one or more of the multiple home function entities is in failure, other home function entities may take over work of the function entities in failure, which ensures the continuity of data flows of services and prevents the services from being interrupted, greatly improves reliability and load balancing ability of end-to-end QoS architecture. Furthermore. There is no limitation on network architecture and the method is applicable to networks with any scales.
Abstract:
A method, device and system for managing resources in networks are provided, which relate to the field of data communication. The method includes the following steps. A resource manager (RM) sends a first request message according to a received resource request message, to request an access node (AN) to perform admission control. After receiving an admission control result indicating whether a resource requested by the resource request message is admitted, the RM sends a response message of the resource request message. Therefore, when multicast/unicast connection admission control (CAC) that supports shared bandwidth is realized, flow fusions of user line configuration between the AN and a broadband remote access system (BRAS, and policy distribution between a resource and admission control subsystem (RACS) and the BRAS are guaranteed; and sharing of bandwidth resources is realized to avoid waste of the bandwidth resources.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for providing reliable transmission Quality of Service (QoS) in communication network, in which a QoS connection is established between bearer network resource managers in bearer network control layer, and maintenance management mechanism is well established in terms of the QoS connection. Various QoS resource control messages can be carried through this established QoS connection, so that request of service bandwidth application of the user and the result thereof, as well as the path information allocated by bearer network resource managers can be transferred. The disclosed method is reliable and easy to implement and maintain, with good controlled quality, and can implement resource synchronization between bearer network resource managers. Therefore, implementation of the disclosed method makes it more convenient to manage resources of bearer network uniformly, and provides technical support on guaranteeing transmission reliability of important services.
Abstract:
System and method for resource admission and control is disclosed. The system for resource admission and control includes an interface unit for application function unit configured to receive service request sent from the application function unit; a policy decision function unit configured to identify the type of an access network according to the service request received by the interface unit for the application function unit and select corresponding service logic for resource admission and control according to the identified type of access network. According to the technical solutions, no matter the request for resource is made to a fixed access network defined in TISPAN, or to a wireless access network defined in the 3GPP, the policy decision function unit xPDF may identify the type of the access network and select corresponding service logic to perform resource admission and control. The xPDF conceals the details of the access network from the AF such that the solution for network construction can be simplified and the system maintenance may become simple and convenient.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method for guaranteeing reliability of end-to-end QoS, including: a. detecting and determining whether there is a failure on a Label Switched Path (LSP); if there isn't, returning to the process of detecting; otherwise, determining whether there is a backup LSP for the failed LSP; if there is, an edge router or a transmit router switching service streams and corresponding resources from the failed LSP to the backup LSP based on a certain policy; otherwise, a resource control function (RCF) entity allocating a new LSP according to network topologies for the service streams born on the failed LSP, and switching the service streams from the failed LSP to the newly allocated LSP, and releasing the path resources formerly occupied by the service streams. The method can guarantee service continuity and reliability of QoS in a bearer network.
