FIRST NODE, SECOND NODE, THIRD NODE, AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK TO HANDLE A PATH FOR A PACKET - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275274 titled 'FIRST NODE, SECOND NODE, THIRD NODE, AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK TO HANDLE A PATH FOR A PACKET
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method where a node in a communications network obtains efficiency measures of power use from other nodes in the network to select a path for a packet based on this information.
- The method is computer-implemented.
- The node operates in a communications network.
- The node obtains efficiency measures of power use from other nodes in the network.
- The efficiency measures are of multiple nodes operating along different paths.
- The node selects a path for a packet based on the obtained efficiency measures.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Energy-efficient routing in communication networks.
- Optimization of power consumption in network operations.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Reducing power consumption in communication networks.
- Improving overall network efficiency by selecting optimal paths based on power use.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Lower energy costs for operating communication networks.
- Enhanced network performance through efficient path selection.
Potential Commercial Applications
A potential commercial application for this technology could be:
- Network equipment manufacturers integrating this method into their products for energy-efficient networking solutions.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be:
- Existing routing algorithms that optimize network paths based on different criteria, but not specifically on power efficiency measures.
Unanswered Questions
How does this method handle dynamic changes in network conditions?
The method does not specify how it adapts to fluctuations in power use or network traffic.
What impact does this method have on network latency?
The abstract does not address how the path selection based on power efficiency measures may affect network latency.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer-implemented method performed by a first node (). The first node () operates in a communications network (). The first node () obtains (), from another node () operating in the communications network (), a respective indication. The respective indication is of a respective efficiency measure of power use of a plurality of nodes () operating in the communications network () along at least two paths (). The first node () then selects () a path for a first packet in the communications network (), among the at least two paths (), based on the obtained respective indication.
