Detailed ways

At present, when equipment providers provide telecommunications equipment to operators, they usually limit the maximum capacity allowed by the equipment according to the equipment license purchased by the operator, that is, the actual maximum capacity of the equipment cannot exceed the preset license value. will be directly rejected or the quality of service will be reduced. Because the services carried by different devices have different requirements for licenses, the actual amount of licenses used by each device is also different. As a result, the license usage rate of some devices is high, or even insufficient. , The uneven use of licenses leads to waste of licenses and even a decline in service quality.

In order to improve the control over licenses, realize the full utilization of license resources for business equipment without exceeding the total amount of licenses; effectively solve the problem of license waste caused by uneven license usage, and improve the service quality of business requests.

The embodiment of the present invention provides a license control method, please refer to Figure 1, including:

Step 101, acquire the business volume of each business component, and calculate the sum of the license requirements of each business component according to the business volume of each business component.

Each service component reports the service volume of the service component to the license server regularly or in real time.

The license server controls each business component that shares the license. Each business component has its own license client, and each license client is directly connected to the license server. The license client of each business component is responsible for reporting the license demand of the business volume of each business component to the license server regularly or in real time, and the license server receives the license demand of each business component reported by the license client of each business component.

Calculate the license requirements of each service component based on the business volume of each service component, that is, calculate the sum of the license requirements of each service component reported by the license client of each service component.

The license client of the service component reports the license demand of each service component regularly (for example, periodically) or in real time, and this feature is applicable to other embodiments of the present invention.

Optionally, the license server can obtain the service volume and license demand of each service component through monitoring.

Optionally, each service component may be a service device that provides services for different service requests. For example, the service component may be a Short Message Service Center (Short Message Service Center, SMSC) device, a Multimedia Messaging Service Center (Multimedia Messaging Service Center, MMSC) device, or other service devices.

Step 102, if the sum of the license requirements of each service component exceeds the set license threshold, instruct each service component to refuse to provide services for subsequent service requests.

When equipment providers provide telecom equipment to operators, they usually limit the maximum capacity allowed by the equipment according to the equipment license purchased by the operator, that is, the actual maximum capacity carried by the equipment cannot exceed the preset license value, that is, the license threshold value.

Business components that provide services to business requests should obtain a license. When the total license amount consumed by the business volume of each business component, that is, the total license demand exceeds the set license threshold, the license server instructs the business component to refuse to provide services for subsequent business requests. If the sum of the license requirements of the business volume of each business component exceeds the set license threshold, the license server still instructs the business component to provide services for subsequent business requests, which will lead to a decline in the overall service quality of the entire business request.

If the sum of the license requirements of the service volume of each service component does not exceed the set license threshold, the license server allows the service component to provide services for subsequent service requests.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when different business components share licenses, the following methods can be used to calculate whether the sum of the license requirements of each business component exceeds the set license threshold:

In the license server, a basic unit can be defined for the measurement of the license, and each basic unit is defined as the unit BaseLicense. The license server sets the license threshold to MaxLicense.

Define a basic license unit and set it to BaseLicense. The license requirements for service requests of different service parts are different, and the calculation of the license demand units for service requests of different service parts is also different. For example, the short message service takes the license requirement of each short message service as the basic unit, and the multimedia message service uses the license demand of each multimedia message service as the basic unit. According to the license demand for processing different business requests, quantify the corresponding unit actual service traffic license demand into the base license demand. For example, the license requirement for each Short Message Service (Short Message Service, SMS) is 1 BaseLicense, and the license requirement for each Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is 5 BaseLicenses. Assume that the unit actual service traffic license demand of business component 1 is X ₁ BaseLicense unit, the unit actual business traffic license demand of business component 2 is X ₂ BaseLicense units, and the unit actual business traffic license demand of business component N is X _N BaseLicense units.

The actual service traffic of business unit 1 is Traffic1, the actual business traffic of business unit 2 is Traffic2, and the actual business traffic of business unit N is TrafficN, then the license client of business unit 1 reports the actual processing license demand of business unit 1 Traffic1×X ₁ BaseLicense unit; the license client of business component 2 reports the actual processing license demand of business component 2 is Traffic2×X ₂ BaseLicense units; the license client of business component N reports the actual processing of business component N The license requirement is TrafficN×X _N BaseLicense units.

The license server calculates the sum of the demands reported by the license clients of all controlled business components (Traffic1×X ₁ )+(Traffic2×X ₂ )+(...)+(Trafficn×X _N ), namely

The license server controls all the controlled business components as follows: ≤MaxLicense.

即业务部件的License需求量之和没有超过设置的阈值量，则允许业务部件为后续业务请求提供服务。否则，指示业务部件拒绝为后续业务请求提供服务。like

That is, if the sum of the license requirements of the business components does not exceed the set threshold, the business components are allowed to provide services for subsequent business requests. Otherwise, instruct the business component to refuse to service subsequent business requests.

For example, if an operator purchases Short Message Service Center (Short Message Service Center, SMSC) and Multimedia Messaging Service Center (Multimedia Messaging Service Center, MMSC) equipment from an equipment provider, the licenses of the SMSC and MMSC equipment are uniformly controlled by the License Server. Assume that the license occupied by each SMS is 1 BaseLicense, the license occupied by each MMS is 5 BaseLicenses, and the operator has purchased 1000 BaseLicenses. Then the SMSC device can allow a maximum of 1000 streams per second (the traffic of the MMSC device is 0 at this time), the MMSC device can allow a maximum of 200 streams per second (the traffic of the SMSC device is 0 at this time), or the SMSC can support 500 Bar/second traffic (at this time, the flow of MMSC equipment can support up to 100 streams/second). That is, as long as (the actual traffic of the SMSC device × 1) + (the actual traffic of the MMSC device × 5) ≤ 1000, the SMSC device and the MMSC device are allowed to share license resources according to their own traffic.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the license server controls the services provided by the business components to the business requests, so that each business component can realize the sharing of license resources and fully utilize the license resources under the premise of not exceeding the set license threshold amount.

The license requirements for service requests of different service parts are different, and the calculation of the license demand units for service requests of different service parts is also different. For example, the short message service takes the license requirement of each short message service as the basic unit, and the multimedia message service uses the license demand of each multimedia message service as the basic unit. According to the license demand for processing different business requests, quantify the corresponding unit actual service traffic license demand into the base license demand. For example, the license requirement for each Short Message Service (Short Message Service, SMS) is 1 BaseLicense, and the license requirement for each Multimedia Message Service (Multimedia Messaging Service, MMS) is 5 BaseLicenses. Assume that the unit actual service traffic license demand of business component 1 is X ₁ BaseLicense unit, the unit actual business traffic license demand of business component 2 is X ₂ BaseLicense units, and the unit actual business traffic license demand of business component N is X _N BaseLicense units.

License server 201 calculates the sum of the license requirements reported by the license clients of all controlled business components (Traffic1×X ₁ )+(Traffic2×X ₂ )+(...)+(Trafficn×X _N ), namely

The License server 201 controls all the controlled business components as follows:

A basic unit is defined for the measurement of the license, and each basic unit is defined as the unit BaseLicense. The license requirements for service requests of different service parts are different, and the calculation of the license demand units for service requests of different service parts is also different. For example, the short message service takes the license requirement of each short message service as the basic unit, and the multimedia message service uses the license demand of each multimedia message service as the basic unit. According to the license demand for the processing of different service requests, the quantification module 402 quantifies the corresponding license demand per unit of actual service traffic into the demand in units of BaseLicense. For example, the license requirement for each Short Message Service (Short Message Service, SMS) is 1 BaseLicense, and the license requirement for each Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is 5 BaseLicenses. Assume that the unit actual service traffic license demand of business component 1 is X ₁ BaseLicense unit, the unit actual business traffic license demand of business component 2 is X ₂ BaseLicense units, and the unit actual business traffic license demand of business component N is X _N BaseLicense units.
