Patent ID: 8400920

Claim:
A method for optimising the transfer of information in a telecommunications network comprising a plurality of producers of information Pi, a plurality of consumers of information Cj, and means of transfer of said information between said producers and said consumers within a framework of a plurality of applications A k , the method comprising: (a) defining an objective of quality of experience QoE representing a capacity of a consumer Cj to make use of information transferred within the framework of each application Ak implemented in the network and a level of Criticality of the Consumers Cj and/or of the Applications Ak representing relative importance of said Applications Ak and/or of said Consumers Cj; (b) determining continuously at least one parameter representing an actual quality of experience ‘QoE’ for at least one consumer; (c) determining dynamically, operating instructions for the transfer of information from the producers Pi to the consumers Cj according to a means of transfer available and; (d) adapting dynamically and continuously said means of transfer of information according to the instructions defined in step (c); wherein said adaptation of the means of transfer of step (d) further comprises adjusting dynamically, operating instructions for the transfer of information according to effects on the transfer of mechanisms for selective acceleration, compression, and enhancing reliability, adjusting dynamically based on an impact on quality of operation ‘QoE’ perceived by the consumer of the information; and adjusting dynamically, operating parameters of mechanisms for selective acceleration, compression, and protection so as to reduce a load omitted into the network while maintaining control of the quality of operation ‘QoE’ perceived by the consumer of the information.
