Spectrum-Aware Cross-Layer Optimization - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17574023 titled 'Spectrum-Aware Cross-Layer Optimization

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for allocating network resources to signals transmitted over a network. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The invention calculates the transport capacity of a sublink in a network based on the spectral efficiency of at least one subpath within that sublink.
  • The transport capacity represents the amount of data that can be transmitted over the sublink.
  • The sublink is then allocated to one or more signals based on the calculated transport capacity.
  • This allocation ensures efficient utilization of network resources and optimizes the transmission of signals.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Telecommunication networks: This technology can be applied to allocate network resources in telecommunication networks, such as cellular networks or fiber-optic networks.
  • Internet service providers: ISPs can use this technology to allocate resources to different signals transmitted over their networks, ensuring fair and efficient distribution of bandwidth.
  • Data centers: This technology can be utilized in data centers to allocate network resources to different servers or applications, optimizing data transmission.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient resource allocation: The technology solves the problem of allocating network resources in an optimal way, ensuring that the available capacity is utilized efficiently.
  • Fair distribution: By calculating the transport capacity and allocating resources based on it, the technology ensures fair distribution of network resources among different signals.
  • Optimization of transmission: The technology optimizes the transmission of signals by allocating resources based on the spectral efficiency, maximizing the amount of data that can be transmitted over the network.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved network performance: By efficiently allocating network resources, the technology improves the overall performance of the network, reducing congestion and improving data transmission speeds.
  • Fairness and equality: The technology ensures fair distribution of network resources, preventing any signal from monopolizing the available capacity.
  • Cost savings: By optimizing resource allocation, the technology helps reduce unnecessary network infrastructure investments, resulting in cost savings for network operators.


Original Abstract Submitted

Allocating network resources to one or more signals that are to be conveyed over the network by calculating a transport capacity for a sublink of the network based on a spectral efficiency of at least one subpath included in the sublink, and allocating the sublink to at least one signal based on the calculated transport capacity.
