Abstract
Systems and methods for managing network resources are disclosed. One method can comprise receiving first information relating to network traffic parameters and receiving second information relating to one or more contextual events having an effect on the network traffic parameters. The first information and the second information and be correlated. And one or more network resources can be allocated based on the correlation of the first information and the second information.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing devices, first information relating to network traffic parameters associated with a network;
- receiving, by the one or more computing devices, second information relating to one or more contextual events having an effect on the network traffic parameters, wherein the one or more contextual events are external to the network, and wherein the second information comprises an indication of a location of the one or more contextual events;
- correlating, by the one or more computing devices, the first information and the second information;
- and
- allocating one or more network resources based on the correlation of the first information and the second information, wherein the allocating the one or more network resources are associated with the location of the one or more contextual events.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing devices, contextual information relating to events having a current or predicted effect on network traffic associated with a network, wherein the events are external to the network, and wherein the contextual information comprises an indication of a location of the events;
- classifying, by the one or more computing devices, the contextual information based on one or more classification factors;
- generating, by the one or more computing devices, a traffic predictor based on the classified contextual information;
- and
- allocating one or more network resources based at least on the traffic predictor, wherein the allocating the one or more network resources are associated with the location of the events.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing devices, first information from a first source relating to one or more contextual events, wherein the one or more contextual events are external to a network, and wherein the first information comprises an indication of a location of the one or more contextual events;
- receiving, by the one or more computing devices, second information from a second source relating to the one or more contextual events;
- determining, by the one or more computing devices, that the first information has a predictive effect on network traffic;
- determining, based on the first information and the second information, a weight factor associated with the predictive effect;
- and
- allocating, based on at least the weight factor, one or more network resources, wherein the allocating the one or more network resources are associated with one or more of a first location and a second location.
