Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for content caching with remote filtering services in a radio access network (RAN). In an embodiment of the invention, a method for content caching with remote filtering services in a RAN can include receiving a response to a request from an end user device wirelessly coupled to a base station of the RAN, marking the response as uncacheable, and routing the response to the base station over a data communications network. In one aspect of the embodiment, the response can be received in an RNC of the RAN. Of note, the process of marking the response as uncacheable can depend upon the evaluation of a policy with respect to the response.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for content caching with remote filtering services in a radio access network (RAN), the method comprising: receiving in a radio network controller (RNC) of the RAN and coupled to a base station of the RAN, a response to a request from an end user device wirelessly coupled to the base station of the RAN; determining in the RNC whether or not the response to the request is cacheable according to a policy; annotating a header of the response as uncacheable indicating that the response is not to be cached in the base station if the response to the request is determined to be uncacheable; and, routing the response to the base station over a data communications network the base station caching the response in a corresponding cache only if the header of the request is not annotated so as to indicate that the response is uncacheable. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the policy specifies content in a response to be uncacheable according to age. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the policy specifies content in a response to be uncacheable according to constituent components of the content. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the policy specifies content in a response to be uncacheable according to a source of the content. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein marking the response as uncacheable, comprises annotating a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) header of the response to indicate that the response is not to be cached in the base station.
