Method and system for the common management of communication resources in a telecommunications network having distinct communication resources pools
First Claim
1. A method of providing services in a telecommunications network comprising:
- receiving, from a user terminal, a service request to access a first communication resource included in the telecommunications network;
prior to providing a service corresponding to the service request, generating a list comprising a plurality of candidate communication resources to attempt to redirect the service request to, wherein the list includes a second communication resource;
determining whether a number of previous failed attempts to redirect service requests to a third communication resource exceeds a threshold;
in response to determining that the number of previous failed attempts to redirect service requests to the third communication resource exceeds the threshold;
determining a time interval to exclude the third communication resource from the list based on successes and failures of previous attempts to redirect service requests to the third communication resource; and
excluding the third communication resource from the list for the determined time interval;
determining whether one or more criterion for the second communication resource of the plurality of candidate communication resources is satisfied, wherein the one or more criterion comprises a history criterion that takes into account outcomes of past redirection attempts to the second communication resource; and
if the one or more criterion for the second communication resource is satisfied, redirecting the service request to the second communication resource and providing the service corresponding to the service request to the user terminal using said second communication resource.

Abstract
A method of providing, in a telecommunications network including at least a first and a second set of communication resources, a service to users in a condition of being provided said service both by the first set of communication resources and by the second set of communication resources. The method includes the steps of: upon receipt, through the first set of communication resources, of a service request related to the service from a user, attempting to redirect the service request to the second set of communication resources; and if the attempt succeeds, provisioning the service to the user by the second set of communication resources. The attempt to redirect the service request includes identifying a communication resource among the second set of communication resources, by either considering or not communication resources of the second set as candidates for the service request redirection based on a history criterion that takes into account an observation of the outcome of past redirection attempts.

13. A communications resources controller for a telecommunications network, the communications resources controller comprising:
-
a computing device; and one or more computer readable media having computer readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the computing device, cause the communications resources controller to; receive, from a user terminal, a service request to access a first communication resource included in the telecommunications network; prior to providing a service corresponding to the service request, generate a list comprising a plurality of candidate communication resources to attempt to redirect the service request to, wherein the list includes a second communication resource; determine whether a number of previous failed attempts to redirect service requests to a third communication resource exceeds a threshold; in response to determining that the number of previous failed attempts to redirect service requests to the third communication resource exceeds the threshold; determine a time interval to exclude the third communication resource from the list based on successes and failures of previous attempts to redirect service requests to the third communication resource; and exclude the third communication resource from the list for the determined time interval; determine whether one or more criterion for the second communication resource of the plurality of candidate communication resources is satisfied, wherein the one or more criterion comprises a history criterion that takes into account outcomes of past redirection attempts to the second communication resource; and if the one or more criterion for the second communication resource is satisfied, redirect the service request to the second communication resource and provide the service corresponding to the service request to the user terminal using said second communication resource. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
