Abstract
A more efficient wireless network can utilize network elements, a service controller, and agents associated with the network elements. Each network element can publish state information and resource information so that other network elements and the service controller can readily identify which network element has available resources. Therefore, each network element can be a resource consumer and a resource provider. Additionally, the network elements can register with the service controller and/or allow agents to act on their behalf in order to generate a more efficient network.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless network device comprising a processor, state data related to a state of a first network element;
- registering, by the wireless network device, the state data resulting in registration of the first network element;
- in response to the registering, generating, by the wireless network device, policy data associated with a policy related to access of a resource of the first network element;
- and
- in response to a request for the resource by a second network element, sending, by the wireless network device, the state data to the second network element in accordance with the policy.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- sending registration request data related to a first request to register to first state data associated with a first network element;
- in response to the sending the registration request data, receiving an update related to a change of the first state data;
- in response to the receiving, sending second request data related to a second request for a first resource of the first network element;
- and
- in response to the sending the second request data, receiving the first resource.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- registering a network element with a service controller, wherein the registering comprises:
- sending, to the service controller, state data associated with a state of the network element;
- sending, to the service controller, agent identification data related to a state management agent;
- and
- sending, to the service controller, description data associated with a description of the state of the network element;
- and
- in response to the registering, receiving an indication that the network element has been determined to have registered with the service controller.
