Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for handling a data path creation in a quick user datagram protocol (UDP) Internet connection (QUIC) session in a wireless network system. The method includes receiving, by an electronic device, at least one request from at least one application for processing at least one object, determining at least one network condition based on the plurality of parameters associated with the electronic device, determining whether the at least one network condition meets a network criteria, and creating a number of data paths within the QUIC session based on the determination.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for handling data path creation in a quick user datagram protocol (UDP) Internet connection (QUIC) session in a wireless network system, comprising:
receiving, by an electronic device, at least one request from at least one application for processing at least one object;
determining, by the electronic device, at least one network condition based on a network awareness parameter associated with the electronic device, wherein the network awareness parameter is determined based on a radio condition, and the radio condition is determined based on one or more of interface connection information, Radio Access Technology (RAT) information, or a signal strength observed by the electronic device;
determining, by the electronic device, a number of data paths to be created within the QUIC session based on the network awareness parameter and at least one property of the at least one object;
creating, by the electronic device, one or more data paths within the QUIC session based on the determined number of data paths, if the at least one network condition meets a network criterion,
wherein the creating of the one or more data paths further comprises:
estimating a buffer size for each data path of the determined number of data paths based on an interface connection; and
creating, by the electronic device, the one or more data paths based on the determined number of data paths and the buffer size.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprises scheduling the at least one object to be sent over the one or more data paths based on burst information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the buffer size is configured based on a plurality of parameters and based on the at least one property of the at least one object.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one property comprises one or more of a size of the at least one object, a number of the at least one object, or a priority of the at least one object.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the creating of the one or more data paths further comprises:
configuring a single data path for data packets of an incoming media stream, wherein the incoming media stream includes the at least one object, the at least one object is to be transmitted through a server, and the incoming media stream is followed by subsequent incoming media streams;
estimating burst information associated with the incoming media stream and one or more of: i) the network awareness parameter and ii) a connection parameter for the subsequent incoming media streams; and
creating, the one or more data paths based on the determined number of data paths and the burst information, to accommodate the subsequent incoming media streams.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network criterion indicates, based on a plurality of parameters, a utilization of a resource in the QUIC session.

7. An electronic device for handling data path creation in a quick user datagram protocol (UDP) Internet connection (QUIC) session in a wireless network system, comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor, wherein execution of the instructions by the at least one processor cause the electronic device to:
receive at least one request from at least one application for processing at least one object;
determine at least one network condition based on a network awareness parameter associated with the electronic device, wherein the network awareness parameter is determined based on a radio condition, and the radio condition is determined based on one or more of interface connection information, Radio Access Technology (RAT) information, or a signal strength observed by the electronic device;
determine a number of data paths to be created within the QUIC session based on the network awareness parameter and at least one property of the at least one object; and
create one or more data paths within the QUIC session based on the determined number of data paths, if the at least one network condition meets a network criterion,
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
estimate a buffer size for each data path of the one or more data paths based on an interface connection; and
create the one or more data paths based on the determined number of data paths and the buffer size.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
configure a single data path for data packets of an incoming media stream, wherein the incoming media stream includes the at least one object, the at least one object is to be transmitted through a server, and the incoming media stream is followed by subsequent incoming media streams;
estimate burst information associated with the incoming media stream and one or more of: i) the network awareness parameter and ii) a connection parameter for the subsequent incoming media streams; and
create the one or more data paths based on the determined number of data paths and the burst information, to accommodate the subsequent incoming media streams.
