Abstract
The present disclosure is related to Multi-Access Management Services (MAMS), which is a programmable framework that provides mechanisms for the flexible selection of network paths in a multi-access (MX) communication environment, based on an application's needs. Generic Multi-Access (GMA) functions are also integrated into the MAMS framework. The present disclosure discusses dynamic traffic splitting and one-way delay measurement techniques. Other implementations may be disclosed and/or claimed.
Claims20
A first multi-access (MX) compute node operating in an MX communication environment, comprising:
- memory circuitry to store instructions;
- and
- processor circuitry connected to the memory circuitry, wherein the processor circuitry is to execute the instructions to:
- determine a first one-way delay (OWD) of a first link between the first MX compute node and a second MX compute node;
- determine a second OWD of a second link between the first MX compute node and the second MX compute node;
- and
- adjust a traffic splitting ratio when the first OWD is greater than the second OWD and a delay threshold or when the first OWD is greater than or equal to a previously measured first OWD of the first link.
A non-transitory computer readable medium (NTCRM) comprising instructions for measuring one-way delay (OWD) for a first access network connection (ANC) of a set of ANCs in a multi-access (MX) network including multiple access networks, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors of a compute node is to cause the compute node to:
- perform respective OWD measurements of the first ANC during corresponding intervals of a set of intervals, wherein the set of intervals take place during a measurement cycle;
- and
- determine the OWD of the first ANC when the respective OWD measurements converge.
