Abstract

A method for optimizing communication resource. The method may include substituting, by a processor, previous production line states associated with at least one production line to a default null state; and performing iteratively, by the processor: accessing production line information to obtain current production line state associated with the at least one production line; for each of the at least one production line: determining if previous production line state matches current production line state, for previous production line state not matching current production line state: accessing device information to retrieve IP address list of devices associated with production line, accessing quality of service (QOS) association information to retrieve QoS level for each of the devices, and creating pairings of IP address and QoS level in QoS configuration information for each device of the devices based on the IP address list and the QoS association information.

Dependent claims

A method for optimizing communication resource, the method comprising:

substituting, by a processor, previous production line states associated with at least one production line to a default null state;
and
performing iteratively, by the processor:
accessing production line information to obtain current production line state associated with the at least one production line;
for each of the at least one production line:
determining if previous production line state matches current production line state,
for previous production line state not matching current production line state:
accessing device information to retrieve IP address list of devices associated with production line,
accessing quality of service (Qos) association information to retrieve QoS level for each of the devices, and
creating pairings of IP address and QoS level in QoS configuration information for each device of the devices based on the IP address list and the QoS association information;
for previous production line state of any of the at least one production line not matching associated current production line state:
inputting QoS configuration information into a SO network manager to allocate resources in a 5G communication network by configuring the 5G network based on the QoS configuration information;
substituting the previous production line states with the current production line states;
and
resting by a predetermined period.
