Abstract
A more efficient network can be achieved by using a cost-benefit analysis determined by mobile device, wireless network, and server device functionality. The cost-benefit analysis can be used to determine whether SPTCP or MPTCP or any combination of the two is used. The mobile device can generate the cost-benefit analysis based on known and unknown device and network metrics and send the cost-benefit analysis to the server device. The server device can then comply with the cost-benefit analysis and then send requested web site data via SPTCP and/or MPTCP in accordance with the cost-benefit analysis.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a network device comprising a processor, web site request data related to a request for a web site made by a mobile device;
- receiving, by the network device, preference data associated with sending web site data related to the web site request data via a Wi-Fi connection of the network device or via a cellular network connection of the network device, wherein the preference data comprises size data related to a number of bytes that are deliverable via the Wi-Fi connection of the mobile device and the cellular network connection of the mobile device;
- receiving, by the network device, resource data associated with the sending of the web site data via the Wi-Fi connection of the network device or via the cellular network connection of the network device;
- and
- in response to a condition associated with the size data being determined to have been satisfied, sending, by the network device, the web site data.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- receiving web site request data, related to a request for a web site made by a mobile device, via a Wi-Fi connection of the mobile device;
- receiving preference data, associated with transmitting web site data related to the web site request data, via the Wi-Fi connection of the mobile device, wherein the preference data comprises limit data related to a limit of a number of bytes that are deliverable via the Wi-Fi connection of the mobile device and a cellular connection of the mobile device;
- and
- based on a result of analyzing the limit data and resource data associated with transmitting the web site data to the mobile device, performing the transmitting of the web site data to the mobile device.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- obtaining web site request data, related to a request for a web site made by a mobile device, via a Wi-Fi connection of the mobile device;
- receiving preference data, associated with sending web site data related to the web site request data, via the Wi-Fi connection of the mobile device, wherein the preference data comprises:
- benefit data related to a number of bytes that are deliverable via the Wi-Fi connection of the mobile device and a cellular connection of the mobile device,
- a first power associated with the mobile device, and
- limit data related to a limit of a transmission size of the web site;
- generating resource data associated with the sending of the web site data to the mobile device;
- and
- in response to a condition associated the limit of the transmission size being determined to have been satisfied, sending first web site data of the web site data.
