REAL TIME CONTROL ARCHITECTURE FOR ADMISSION CONTROL IN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

The present invention relates to communications network and particularly although not exclusively to a method of optimizing the performance of a communications network with respect to admission and control of communications data. A communications network comprising N node elements operates N decision tables (1000) for controlling admission and control of data communications to the N node elements. Each node element generates corresponding performance data, and the N decision tables and N performance data are collected at a central network controller. The network controller determines a set of new decision tables (1004) from the collected decision table s (Fig. 10) and distributes a new set of decision tables (1006) to each of the N n ode elements, which then proceed to operate the new decision tables throughout the network (1000).
