METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING PARTICIPANT DISCOVERY MESSAGE PERIOD

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for determining a participant discovery message period, which can adjust the period of domain participant discovery messages in consideration of variability in network and the importance of participants. The apparatus includes a network stability ratio calculation unit for calculating a network stability ratio based on a domain leave rate of participants. A participant discovery message period calculation unit calculates a participant discovery message period depending on a variation in network status based on the network stability ratio. A priority analysis unit analyzes preset priorities of participants. A participant discovery message period determination unit determines a participant discovery message period based on both the participant discovery message period depending on the variation in network status and the participant priorities.

1. A method of determining a participant discovery message period, comprising:
calculating, by a network stability ratio calculation unit, a network stability ratio based on a domain leave rate of participants; calculating, by a participant discovery message period calculation unit, a participant discovery message period depending on a variation in network status based on the network stability ratio; analyzing, by a priority analysis unit, preset priorities of participants; and determining, by a participant discovery message period determination unit, a final participant discovery message period based on both the participant discovery message period depending on the variation in network status and the participant priorities.
