Efficient route determination method for communication networks
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240022498A1) describes a method for generating an updated set of routes on a communication network. The method involves obtaining network paths on a graph corresponding to the communication network, generating irreducible paths based on these network paths, determining weights for subsets of paths, comparing these weights, and including either the first subset or the second subset in the updated set of paths based on the comparison. The updated set of paths corresponds to the updated set of routes on the communication network.
Furthermore, the method includes steps such as generating a bipartite graph with vertices corresponding to network paths and irreducible paths, selecting subsets using the bipartite graph, determining weights based on the subsets, and including the chosen subset in the updated set of paths. The patent also covers generating auxiliary graphs, identifying stopping vertices, creating sub-auxiliary graphs, determining auxiliary graph paths, and updating edge weights associated with the auxiliary graph edges. The method aims to efficiently update network routes by considering various factors and optimizing the selection of paths based on weights and comparisons.
