Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An information handling system builds a performance model for a network based on key performance indicators, and evaluates performance of applications using the key performance indicators according to useability metrics. The system predicts network bandwidth requirement based on the performance model for the network and the performance of the applications, adjusts power consumption of the network based on the predicted network bandwidth requirement, and reallocates power saved from the adjusting of the power consumption of the network to a component of the information handling system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An information handling system, comprising: a processor; and a memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations including: building a performance model for a network based on key performance indicators; evaluating performance of applications using the key performance indicators according to useability metrics; predicting network bandwidth requirement based on the performance model for the network and the performance of the applications; adjusting power consumption of the network based on the predicted network bandwidth requirement; and reallocating power saved from the adjusting of the power consumption of the network to a component of the information handling system. 2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting of the power consumption of the network is capped according to a quality of service threshold. 3. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting of the power consumption of the network includes decreasing the power consumption of a communication device. 4. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise controlling network speed of a communication device. 5. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise tracking the key performance indicators. 6. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise evaluating user preferences and system conditions of the information handling system. 7. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise predicting network bandwidth for a user experience. 8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions that are executable to perform operations comprising: building a performance model for a network based on key performance indicators; evaluating performance of applications using the key performance indicators according to useability metrics; predicting network bandwidth requirement based on the performance model for the network and the performance of the applications; adjusting power consumption of the network based on the predicted network bandwidth requirement; and reallocating available power from the adjusting power consumption of the network to a component of an information handling system. 9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting of the power consumption of the network is capped according to a quality of service threshold. 10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting of the power consumption of the network includes decreasing the power consumption of a communication device. 11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise controlling network speed. 12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise evaluating user preferences and system conditions of the information handling system. 13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise tracking the key performance indicators.
