- an Internet service provider 12 acts as a gateway between the Internet cloud 10 and a group of users 14 A- 14 N.
- a user accesses a series of web pages stored within a variety of content servers 8 A- 8 N coupled to the Internet cloud 10 .
- a user requests a web page via browser software.
- the browser software retrieves the web page using a group of protocols defining the Internet. For example, the browser software uses the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) on top of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to retrieve the web page.
- HTTP HyperText Transfer Protocol
- TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
- the user must wait as the browser software first makes a request for a Domain Name System (DNS) to find the appropriate content server, and then individually requests and receives the set of objects that make up the web page.
- DNS Domain Name System
- Each HTTP request to the content server opens a new TCP connection.
- the user's browser software sends the HTTP request for the specific hypertext markup language (HTML) object.
- the wait experienced by the user is caused by the round-trip delay from the HTTP latency as all the HTML objects which compose the hypertext markup language (HTML) file are retrieved from the Internet.
- the content server can be located many thousands of miles away from the user. Over such great distances, even if the messages were able to travel the speed of light, a significant latency would be accumulated by the numerous round-trip delays associated with retrieving each object.
- the HTML file is digital data file that provides information to the browser such as display information.
- the HTML file comprises a set of embedded HTML objects.
- the embedded objects may include Java applets, JPEG or GIF graphical objects, video files or sound clips.
- a typical web page such as the YAHOO!® home page, is an HTML file which designates many embedded objects such as advertisement banners, headline banners, the YAHOO!G logo and linking soft buttons.
- the browsers used by the users 14 A- 14 N individually request each of the embedded objects.
- the response time associated with creating a fully displayed web page includes the time required to retrieve both the HTML file and all of the embedded objects referenced therein.
- the Internet service provider 12 may incorporate a cache 16 .
- the cache 16 may be embodied as a fast storage buffer or memory that can be accessed by a central processing unit within the Internet service provider 12 .
- the cache 16 can be used to store HTML objects and other files such as graphic files or sound clips that are commonly requested by the users 14 A- 14 N.
- the YAHOO!® home page HTML file is likely to be accessed by a large number of the users 14 A- 14 N on a daily basis.
- the common objects which constitute the page can be stored in the cache 16 and retrieved from the cache 16 by the Internet service provider 12 when requested by one of the users 14 A- 14 N. Because it is faster for the Internet service provider 12 to retrieve the files from the cache 16 than through the Internet 10 from the content servers 8 , the waiting time perceived by the user is decreased.
- the Internet service provider 12 must determine which HTML objects are most likely to be requested by the users 14 A- 14 N. Therefore, usage pattern algorithms have been developed which determine which HTML objects should be stored in the cache 16 based upon the usage pattern of the users 14 A- 14 N.
- the information in the cache 16 must be updated at regular time intervals. For example, a web page which provides stock quotes at approximately real time must be updated every several seconds. An advertising banner, such as might be shown on the YAHOO!® homepage, may be updated every hour. Other information on the YAHOO!® homepage, such as the morning headlines, may be updated once or twice a day.
- the usage pattern algorithm must also determine which HTML objects are worthy of caching and which are updated with such frequency as to be unworthy.
- the usage pattern algorithm can be used to determine when a HTML object stored in the cache 16 should be deleted and retrieved once again from the Internet 10 in order to update the file.
- the Internet service provider 12 can be coupled to the users 14 A- 14 N using a variety of well-known techniques.

- a digital data network such as an Internet cloud 100 to provide connection to a group of content servers 98 A- 98 N.
- the Internet service provider 112 is coupled to a series of base stations 114 A- 114 N.
- the Internet service provider 112 is coupled to the series of base stations 114 A- 114 N via a base station controller as well as a series of high capacity digital data links.
- Each base station 114 A- 114 N provides service to a corresponding physical coverage area through the use of distributed antenna sites.
- the base stations are terrestrial base stations such as those found in a typical mobile wireless or stationary wireless telecommunications system.
- the base stations may be co-located with one another and may provide service to distinct physical coverage areas by means of satellites, broadband fixed wireless or directional antennas.
- the users 118 A- 118 N are located within the coverage area of the base station 114 A.
- the users 120 A- 120 N are located in the coverage area of base station 114 B.
- the users 124 A- 124 N are located in the coverage area of the base station 114 N.
- Each base station 114 A- 114 N has a corresponding cache 116 A- 116 N.
- the caches 116 A- 116 N may be embodied as fast storage buffers or memories which can be accessed by a router and central processing unit within the corresponding base stations 114 A- 114 N.
- the cache 116 is used to store information frequently requested by the users associated with the corresponding base station.
- the base station 114 A may comprise a usage pattern algorithm which monitors the usage pattern of the users 118 A- 118 N within its corresponding coverage area in order to determine which files and objects to store within the cache 116 A, according to well know techniques.
- the cache 116 stores frequently requested HTML files and objects.
- the corresponding base station such as the base station 114 A, intercepts and analyzes the series of requests for files and objects which are generated by the user 120 .
- the base station 114 A does not simply indiscriminately pass the remote unit requests to the Internet service provider but, instead, examines the content of the requests.
- the base station 114 A responds by retrieving the requested file or object from the cache 11 6 A and forwarding it to the user 11 8 A. Thus, the request need not be passed over the Internet service provider 112 or to the Internet cloud 100 . If any requested file or object which is not available within the cache 116 A, the base station 114 A passes the corresponding request to the Internet service provider 112 , which in turn may pass the request over Internet cloud 100 to one of the content servers 98 A- 98 N.
- the Internet service provider 112 also comprises a cache 126 which can be accessed by the Internet service provider 112 and, if a requested object is available in the cache 126 , the Internet service provider 112 need not retrieve the file from the Internet cloud 100 .
- the configuration shown in FIG. 3 has many advantages.
- the connection between the Internet service provider 112 and the base stations 114 A- 114 N is referred to as the backhaul.
- the cost of operating the backhaul is a substantial portion of the cost of providing a wireless network.
- the base station 114 A need not pass a message over the backhaul to the Internet service provider 112 . Therefore, the configuration shown in FIG. 3 reduces the loading on the backhaul, thus reducing the cost of providing wireless service.
- procuring backhaul capacity on a timely basis can limit the ability of a wireless carrier to deploy a wireless system. By reducing the loading on the backhaul, the carrier can operate the system using a lower capacity backhaul, thus, reducing the backhaul capacity required to deploy a system.
- a typical Internet service provider provides coverage for a rather large geographic region. More particularly, an Internet service provider may provide coverage for an entire county covering many hundreds of square miles comprising several cities, smaller towns, and rural areas. In contrast, a typical terrestrial base station could provide coverage for an approximately 3-100 square mile coverage area.
- a coverage area which includes a downtown region is more likely to have a high number of users requesting legal, business, financial and tax information than a coverage area servicing a college campus.
- a coverage area providing coverage to an affluent neighborhood is more likely to have a higher concentration of requests for information concerning an upcoming equestrian event than a coverage area providing service to an industrialized factory campus.
- the usage pattern algorithm which selects the files which are stored within the cache 116 is likely to be able to increase the percentage of requests which can be serviced directly from the cache 116 rather than through the cache 126 or from the content servers 98 .
- the configuration shown in FIG. 3 further reduces the backhaul traffic as well as the latency perceived by the user.
- the base station executes anticipatory caching.
- Anticipatory caching occurs when a file or object is retrieved and stored in the cache before the users request it. For example, many users access the newspaper in the morning. Anticipatory caching can be used to retrieve the files and embedded objects associated with the newspapers as they are the released by the publishers in the early morning when the demand on the wireless system is minimum. In this way, when the users begin to access the papers in early morning, at least some of the files and objects are available from the cache.
- Caching according to the invention also improves the efficiencies achieved by anticipatory caching. Residents of a collage campus may be more likely to access a local or campus-wide newspaper rather than a national newspaper. Business users are more likely to access business and financial newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal. These regional differences are accommodated by the local caching system of the invention.
- the wireless link also operates more efficiently than the prior art. If the wireless link is configured as a circuit switch system, when a user 118 makes a request to the base station, a resource is dedicated to that remote unit until a response is received. By decreasing the latency associated with the response to the request, the wireless link resources consumed by a remote unit user to make a request and receive a response can be reduced, thus, increasing the number of users which can be serviced by the system at any one time.
- the rate at which data can be transferred over the wireless link between the user 118 and the base station 114 can be faster than the rate at which the Internet cloud 100 can provide information.
- the rate at which data is passed over the wireless link need not be artificially lowered in order to accommodate the slower transmission rate of the Internet cloud 100 . This in turn can increase overall system capacity so that the system can accommodate more users.
- FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating operation in accordance with one embodiment of the invention.
- the user requests a file or object.
- the user forwards the request in a message to the base station over the wireless link.
- the base station intercepts and parses the request. For example, the base station examines the contents of the request in the same manner as the Internet service provider, according to well-known techniques to identify the message.
- the base station also determines if the requested file or object is available from the base station cache. As noted above, in a preferred environment, the cache is co-located with the base station or is associated specifically with the base station.
- the base station if the file or object is available from the cache, the base station forwards the file or object to the user from the cache.
- the user receives the file or object in block 146 .
- flow from block 140 to block 142 to block 144 and back to block 146 provides a rapid response to the user's request without utilizing backhaul resources, Internet service provider resources or digital data cloud resources.
- the base station forwards the request to the Internet service provider over the backhaul as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 4 .
- the Internet service provider determines if the requested file or object is available from a cache associated with the Internet service provider. If so, in block 150 , the Internet service provider forwards the file or object to the base station as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 4 . In block 152 , the base station forwards the file or object to the remote unit. As shown by the dashed line, the user receives the file or object in block 154 .
- the Internet service provider requests the file or object from a content server via the internet cloud according to well known techniques as indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 4 .
- the Internet service provider receives the file or object and forwards it to the base station as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 4 .
- the base station receives the file or object and in block 158 forwards the file or object to the user.
- the user receives the file or object.
- a usage pattern algorithm is executed at the base station. For example, in block 142 , in which the base station intercepts and parses the request, the base station may also forward a designation of the requested file or object to the usage pattern algorithm for use by the usage pattern algorithm in determining the contents of the associated cache.
- a single cache is associated with more than one antenna site.
- two base stations may share a cache.
- some of the stations comprise distinct sectors that provide service to a subsection of the limited physical coverage area associated with the base station.
- a single cache may be provided for use by users in each sector, or one or more caches may be provided for use by users in a subset of the total number of sectors.
- only a subset for the base stations within a wireless system have a local cache.

Abstract
In a wireless system comprising a plurality of radio base station, each base station services a portion of the system. A cache is associated with each base station. The cache stores files regularly requested by the remote unit within the coverage area of the corresponding base station. When a base station receives a message from a remote unit, it parses the message to determine if the message comprises a file request. If so, the base station determines whether the file is available from the cache. If available, the base station responds to the request by forwarding the requested file from the cache. If the file is not available, the base station forwards the message to a central controller, which retrieves the file via the Internet from the appropriate content server and provides it to the base station.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/388,236, filed Sep. 1, 1999. This application is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates generally to wireless communication systems and, more particularly, to digital data transfer in a wireless communication system.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Digital data communication systems are becoming more and more pervasive. For example, the Internet is commonly used to transfer digital data in the form of e-mail messages, web pages as well as audio, graphic and video information in digital format between many users and servers.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a typical Internet digital data system. The Internet “cloud” 10 interconnects a large number of users and content servers. In order to gain access to theInternet cloud 10, anInternet service provider 12 acts as a gateway between theInternet cloud 10 and a group ofusers 14A-14N. - In the normal course of “surfing the web”, a user accesses a series of web pages stored within a variety of
content servers 8A-8N coupled to theInternet cloud 10. In general, a user requests a web page via browser software. The browser software retrieves the web page using a group of protocols defining the Internet. For example, the browser software uses the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) on top of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to retrieve the web page. During the retrieval process, the user must wait as the browser software first makes a request for a Domain Name System (DNS) to find the appropriate content server, and then individually requests and receives the set of objects that make up the web page. - Each HTTP request to the content server opens a new TCP connection. After the connection is established, the user's browser software sends the HTTP request for the specific hypertext markup language (HTML) object. The wait experienced by the user is caused by the round-trip delay from the HTTP latency as all the HTML objects which compose the hypertext markup language (HTML) file are retrieved from the Internet.
- The content server can be located many thousands of miles away from the user. Over such great distances, even if the messages were able to travel the speed of light, a significant latency would be accumulated by the numerous round-trip delays associated with retrieving each object.
- The HTML file is digital data file that provides information to the browser such as display information. Generally, the HTML file comprises a set of embedded HTML objects. For example, the embedded objects may include Java applets, JPEG or GIF graphical objects, video files or sound clips. For example, a typical web page, such as the YAHOO!® home page, is an HTML file which designates many embedded objects such as advertisement banners, headline banners, the YAHOO!G logo and linking soft buttons. As an entire web page is retrieved, the browsers used by the
users 14A-14N individually request each of the embedded objects. Thus, the response time associated with creating a fully displayed web page includes the time required to retrieve both the HTML file and all of the embedded objects referenced therein. - In order to decrease the waiting time of the system as well as decrease the amount of data that is transferred between the Internet 10 and the
Internet service provider 12 ofFIG. 1 , theInternet service provider 12 may incorporate acache 16. Generally, thecache 16 may be embodied as a fast storage buffer or memory that can be accessed by a central processing unit within theInternet service provider 12. Thecache 16 can be used to store HTML objects and other files such as graphic files or sound clips that are commonly requested by theusers 14A-14N. For example, the YAHOO!® home page HTML file is likely to be accessed by a large number of theusers 14A-14N on a daily basis. Therefore, in order to avoid downloading the YAHOO!® HTML file with its many HTML embedded objects multiple times during the day, the common objects which constitute the page can be stored in thecache 16 and retrieved from thecache 16 by theInternet service provider 12 when requested by one of theusers 14A-14N. Because it is faster for theInternet service provider 12 to retrieve the files from thecache 16 than through the Internet 10 from the content servers 8, the waiting time perceived by the user is decreased. - Several factors must be determined when designing an efficient cache system. For example, because the
cache 16 has a finite memory storage capacity, theInternet service provider 12 must determine which HTML objects are most likely to be requested by theusers 14A-14N. Therefore, usage pattern algorithms have been developed which determine which HTML objects should be stored in thecache 16 based upon the usage pattern of theusers 14A-14N. In addition, the information in thecache 16 must be updated at regular time intervals. For example, a web page which provides stock quotes at approximately real time must be updated every several seconds. An advertising banner, such as might be shown on the YAHOO!® homepage, may be updated every hour. Other information on the YAHOO!® homepage, such as the morning headlines, may be updated once or twice a day. Other objects, such as the YAHOO!® logo, may remain valid for much longer periods of time. The usage pattern algorithm must also determine which HTML objects are worthy of caching and which are updated with such frequency as to be unworthy. In addition, the usage pattern algorithm can be used to determine when a HTML object stored in thecache 16 should be deleted and retrieved once again from the Internet 10 in order to update the file. - Based upon these factors, using an efficient usage pattern algorithm, as well as a manageable sized cache, it is reasonable to expect that approximately 60% of the data requested by the
users 14A-14N can be stored within thecache 16. Even if the storage capacity of thecache 16 is greatly increased, it is difficult to achieve a caching rate at greater than 60% based upon modern Internet usage patterns. - The
Internet service provider 12 can be coupled to theusers 14A-14N using a variety of well-known techniques. For example, a copper line such as a standard, directly coupled plain old telephone service (POTS) can be used to connect theInternet service provider 12 to theremote unit 14A. Also cable modems and other digital subscriber lines (DSL) have been developed in order to increase the data rate of the connection between the Internet service provider and the user. - Using modern wireless communication techniques, the
Internet service provider 12 can be coupled to one or more of theusers 14A-14N using a wireless link rather than a wired line link. Typically, the finite capacity of the wireless link as well as the limited transmission rate of the wireless link can cause additional delays in the transmission of data between the Internet service provider and the user. In such a system, the benefits of reducing latencies in other areas of the system becomes more pronounced as cumulative delays increase the response time perceived by the users. -
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a prior art digital data system providing Internet connection over a wireless link. InFIG. 2 , the system is configured as a terrestrial, system. A series ofradio base stations 20A-20N are distributed throughout a geographic area where wireless Internet access is provided by theinternet service provider 12. Eachradio base station 20A-20N provides wireless communications to and from remote users within a corresponding physical coverage area. For example, inFIG. 2 ,users 14A-14N are shown to be within the coverage area of thebase station 20A. Thus, when a remote unit requests digital data, such as a web page, a request for the web page is passed from the user 14 to theassociated base station 20A. Thebase station 20A passes the request to theInternet service provider 12 incurring yet additional delays. TheInternet service provider 12 provides the requested information from thecache 16 or through the Internetcloud 10 from thecontent servers 8A-8N, if the HTML objects are not available within thecache 16. The reverse process carries the objects back to the user, incurring yet additional delays. As noted above, the cumulative delay associated with transmission of the request over the wireless link as well as the other delays associated with response to the request can become intolerably high to the end-user. - Therefore, there has been a long felt need in the art to provide a means and method for providing efficient digital data access in a wireless communication system.
- In a wireless system comprising a set of limited physical coverage areas, a base station provides service over a wireless link to a plurality of users within one of the limited physical coverage areas. The base station is coupled to an Internet service provider via a backhaul. The Internet service provider is coupled to many content servers via a digital data network. Each base station has an associated cache. The cache is used to store files and objects which are frequently requested by the users within the limited physical coverage area associated with the corresponding base station. When a user sends a message comprising a request for a file or object to the base station, the base station parses the message. If the requested file or object is available from the cache, the base station forwards the file or object to the user from the cache. In this way, the request need not be sent over the backhaul or over the digital data network, thereby greatly improving the response time of the wireless system.

InFIG. 3 , a central controller, such as anInternet service provider 112, is coupled to a digital data network, such as anInternet cloud 100 to provide connection to a group ofcontent servers 98A-98N. In addition, theInternet service provider 112 is coupled to a series ofbase stations 114A-114N. Generally, theInternet service provider 112 is coupled to the series ofbase stations 114A-114N via a base station controller as well as a series of high capacity digital data links. - Each
base station 114A-114N provides service to a corresponding physical coverage area through the use of distributed antenna sites. In one embodiment, the base stations are terrestrial base stations such as those found in a typical mobile wireless or stationary wireless telecommunications system. In another embodiment, the base stations may be co-located with one another and may provide service to distinct physical coverage areas by means of satellites, broadband fixed wireless or directional antennas. Theusers 118A-118N are located within the coverage area of thebase station 114A. Theusers 120A-120N are located in the coverage area ofbase station 114B. Theusers 124A-124N are located in the coverage area of thebase station 114N. - Each
base station 114A-114N has acorresponding cache 116A-116N. Thecaches 116A-116N may be embodied as fast storage buffers or memories which can be accessed by a router and central processing unit within thecorresponding base stations 114A-114N. The cache 116 is used to store information frequently requested by the users associated with the corresponding base station. Thebase station 114A may comprise a usage pattern algorithm which monitors the usage pattern of theusers 118A-118N within its corresponding coverage area in order to determine which files and objects to store within thecache 116A, according to well know techniques. In one embodiment, the cache 116 stores frequently requested HTML files and objects. When a user such as theuser 118A requests a web page, the corresponding base station, such as thebase station 114A, intercepts and analyzes the series of requests for files and objects which are generated by the user 120. Thus, in contrast to the prior art, thebase station 114A does not simply indiscriminately pass the remote unit requests to the Internet service provider but, instead, examines the content of the requests. - If one or more of the requested files or objects are available within the
cache 116A, thebase station 114A responds by retrieving the requested file or object from the cache 11 6A and forwarding it to the user 11 8A. Thus, the request need not be passed over theInternet service provider 112 or to theInternet cloud 100. If any requested file or object which is not available within thecache 116A, thebase station 114A passes the corresponding request to theInternet service provider 112, which in turn may pass the request overInternet cloud 100 to one of thecontent servers 98A-98N. In one embodiment, theInternet service provider 112 also comprises acache 126 which can be accessed by theInternet service provider 112 and, if a requested object is available in thecache 126, theInternet service provider 112 need not retrieve the file from theInternet cloud 100. - The configuration shown in
FIG. 3 has many advantages. The connection between theInternet service provider 112 and thebase stations 114A-114N is referred to as the backhaul. According to current costing structures, the cost of operating the backhaul is a substantial portion of the cost of providing a wireless network. By retrieving the information from the cache 11 6A, thebase station 114A need not pass a message over the backhaul to theInternet service provider 112. Therefore, the configuration shown inFIG. 3 reduces the loading on the backhaul, thus reducing the cost of providing wireless service. In addition, procuring backhaul capacity on a timely basis can limit the ability of a wireless carrier to deploy a wireless system. By reducing the loading on the backhaul, the carrier can operate the system using a lower capacity backhaul, thus, reducing the backhaul capacity required to deploy a system. - In addition, by associating the
cache 116A with a limited coverage area, the usage patterns of the users are more likely to be correlated with one another. For example, a typical Internet service provider provides coverage for a rather large geographic region. More particularly, an Internet service provider may provide coverage for an entire county covering many hundreds of square miles comprising several cities, smaller towns, and rural areas. In contrast, a typical terrestrial base station could provide coverage for an approximately 3-100 square mile coverage area. When a larger region is broken down into the smaller regions, the probability of a correlation in the requested pages among the users increases. For example, a coverage area which includes a downtown region is more likely to have a high number of users requesting legal, business, financial and tax information than a coverage area servicing a college campus. A coverage area providing coverage to an affluent neighborhood is more likely to have a higher concentration of requests for information concerning an upcoming equestrian event than a coverage area providing service to an industrialized factory campus. - Thus, the usage pattern algorithm which selects the files which are stored within the cache 116 is likely to be able to increase the percentage of requests which can be serviced directly from the cache 116 rather than through the
cache 126 or from the content servers 98. Thus, the configuration shown inFIG. 3 further reduces the backhaul traffic as well as the latency perceived by the user. - In one embodiment, the base station executes anticipatory caching. Anticipatory caching occurs when a file or object is retrieved and stored in the cache before the users request it. For example, many users access the newspaper in the morning. Anticipatory caching can be used to retrieve the files and embedded objects associated with the newspapers as they are the released by the publishers in the early morning when the demand on the wireless system is minimum. In this way, when the users begin to access the papers in early morning, at least some of the files and objects are available from the cache. Caching according to the invention also improves the efficiencies achieved by anticipatory caching. Residents of a collage campus may be more likely to access a local or campus-wide newspaper rather than a national newspaper. Business users are more likely to access business and financial newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal. These regional differences are accommodated by the local caching system of the invention.
- Another advantage associated with the configuration shown in
FIG. 3 is that the wireless link also operates more efficiently than the prior art. If the wireless link is configured as a circuit switch system, when a user 118 makes a request to the base station, a resource is dedicated to that remote unit until a response is received. By decreasing the latency associated with the response to the request, the wireless link resources consumed by a remote unit user to make a request and receive a response can be reduced, thus, increasing the number of users which can be serviced by the system at any one time. - Using modern wireless communication techniques, the rate at which data can be transferred over the wireless link between the user 118 and the base station 114 can be faster than the rate at which the
Internet cloud 100 can provide information. Thus, by providing information directly from the cache 116, the rate at which data is passed over the wireless link need not be artificially lowered in order to accommodate the slower transmission rate of theInternet cloud 100. This in turn can increase overall system capacity so that the system can accommodate more users. -
FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating operation in accordance with one embodiment of the invention. Inblock 140, the user requests a file or object. The user forwards the request in a message to the base station over the wireless link. Inblock 142, the base station intercepts and parses the request. For example, the base station examines the contents of the request in the same manner as the Internet service provider, according to well-known techniques to identify the message. The base station also determines if the requested file or object is available from the base station cache. As noted above, in a preferred environment, the cache is co-located with the base station or is associated specifically with the base station. Inblock 144, if the file or object is available from the cache, the base station forwards the file or object to the user from the cache. The user receives the file or object inblock 146. Thus, flow fromblock 140 to block 142 to block 144 and back to block 146 provides a rapid response to the user's request without utilizing backhaul resources, Internet service provider resources or digital data cloud resources. - If the requested file or object is not available at the cache at the base station, in
block 144, the base station forwards the request to the Internet service provider over the backhaul as shown by the dashed line inFIG. 4 . In response, inblock 148, the Internet service provider determines if the requested file or object is available from a cache associated with the Internet service provider. If so, inblock 150, the Internet service provider forwards the file or object to the base station as shown by the dashed line inFIG. 4 . Inblock 152, the base station forwards the file or object to the remote unit. As shown by the dashed line, the user receives the file or object inblock 154. - If the file or object is not available in the cache associated with the Internet service provider, in
block 150, the Internet service provider requests the file or object from a content server via the internet cloud according to well known techniques as indicated by the dotted line inFIG. 4 . Inblock 156, the Internet service provider receives the file or object and forwards it to the base station as shown by the dotted line inFIG. 4 . The base station receives the file or object and inblock 158 forwards the file or object to the user. Inblock 160, the user receives the file or object. - In parallel with the operation shown in
FIG. 4 , a usage pattern algorithm is executed at the base station. For example, inblock 142, in which the base station intercepts and parses the request, the base station may also forward a designation of the requested file or object to the usage pattern algorithm for use by the usage pattern algorithm in determining the contents of the associated cache. - In one embodiment, a single cache is associated with more than one antenna site. For example, two base stations may share a cache. In another embodiment, some of the stations comprise distinct sectors that provide service to a subsection of the limited physical coverage area associated with the base station. In such a case, a single cache may be provided for use by users in each sector, or one or more caches may be provided for use by users in a subset of the total number of sectors. In yet another embodiment, only a subset for the base stations within a wireless system have a local cache.
- The invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or central characteristics. The described embodiment is to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive and the scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
