Abstract
Arrangement for optimizing the traffic load in a telecommunication and/or data network comprising a plurality of functionally essentially independent network elements, a plurality of content databases and/or platforms, which can be connected to the network elements, and a network operations control unit which exhibits an evaluation and decision unit for evaluating load messages.
Claims12
An arrangement (1) for optimizing the traffic load in a telecommunication and/or data network (3) comprising a plurality of functionally essentially independent network elements, a plurality of content databases (11) and/or platforms, which can be connected to the network elements (7), and a network operations control unit (5), characterized in that
- at least some of the network elements are associated with traffic load monitoring units (15) and, connected to these, load message transmitting units (17) for transmitting load messages signaling the traffic load of the respective network element to the network operations control unit,
- the network operations control unit (5) has
- a load data receiving unit (23) for receiving the load messages of at least some of the network elements and
- an evaluation and decision unit (25), the input side of which is connected to the load data receiving unit, for evaluating the load messages and for outputting control signals in dependence on the message content to selected content databases or platforms, and
- the content databases (11) and/or platforms are constructed for sending out predetermined contents or other information to telecommunication or data terminals of users, connected to selected network elements, in response to the control signals.
A method for optimizing the traffic load in a telecommunication and/or data network comprising a plurality of functionally essentially independent network elements, a plurality of content databases and/or platforms, which can be connected to the network elements, and a network operations control unit, characterized in that
- the current traffic load is detected at the network elements,
- in response to timer or external trigger signals or the result of a comparison with preprogrammed threshold values, load messages are generated for signaling the traffic load and are sent to the network operations control unit,
- the load messages are received and evaluated at the network operations control unit and
- in dependence on the message content of the evaluated load messages, control signals to selected content databases or platforms for sending out predetermined contents or other information to telecommunication or data terminals of users, connected to selected network elements, are generated.
