Abstract

A more efficient network can be achieved by allocating system resources. Dynamic adjustment of system information block periodicity can mitigate system alarms, manual intervention, and performance degradation of the network. System information block messages/data can be given a priority so that resource utilization can be optimized to improve overall system performance. Therefore, system outages can be avoided or mitigated by actively monitoring SIB data and proactively adjusting system resources.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a wireless network device comprising a processor, network resource data representing a first network resource and representing a performance parameter of the first network resource;

monitoring, by the wireless network device, the network resource data for a condition related to network congestion, wherein the condition is based on a historical value associated with the first network resource and a previous usage of the first network resource;

determining, by the wireless network device, that the condition related to the network congestion has been satisfied based on the network resource data, wherein the determining comprises determining that a threshold value associated with a system information block of the network resource data has been satisfied, wherein the system information block comprises name data associated with a name of the wireless network device, mobile device identification data representative of an identity associated with the mobile device, history data, and priority data representative of a priority associated with the system information block;

receiving, by the wireless network device, location data representative of a location of a mobile device relative to an access point device;

in response to the determining that the system information block comprises the name data, the mobile device identification data, history data, and the priority data, performing, by the wireless network device, an action in response to the condition related to the network congestion being determined to have been satisfied, wherein the action comprises increasing a first data transmission time associated with the first network resource from a first time to a second time greater than the first time; and

based on a priority value associated with a second network resource, decreasing, by the wireless network device, a second data transmission time from a third time to a fourth time less than the third time.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing comprises adjusting the first data transmission time of the network resource data based on priority data associated with the first network resource.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first data transmission time is extended based on the priority data associated with the first network resource.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the adjusting the first data transmission time is proportional to the network congestion.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the condition is a first condition, and further comprising:

resetting, by the wireless network device, the first data transmission time in response to a second condition related to the network congestion being determined to have been satisfied.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the performing comprises terminating a data transmission of the network resource data based on priority data associated with the first network resource.

8. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

receiving first network message data related to an availability of a first network resource associated with a network device;

receiving distance data representative of a distance of a mobile device from an access point device;

determining whether the availability of the first network resource satisfies a condition, wherein the determining comprises determining that a threshold value associated with the first network message data has been satisfied, wherein the threshold value is a historical value associated with the first network resource and a system information block of the first network resource, wherein they system information block comprises name data associated with a name of the mobile device, mobile device identification data representative of an identity associated with the mobile device, history data, and priority data representative of a priority associated with the system information block;

in response to the determining that the system information block comprises the name data, the mobile device identification data, history data, and the priority data, and based on the determining that the threshold value has been satisfied, and in response to the first network resource being determined to have the availability, adjusting a transmission rate of a second network resource, wherein the adjusting comprises decreasing a data transmission time from a first time to a second time less than the first time based on a priority value associated with the second network resource; and

sending second network message data related to the second network resource.
