METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR LOADING CONTENT IN A NETWORK
At least one example embodiment discloses a method of loading content for a user in a network including a plurality of base stations. The method includes obtaining a profile of the user, the profile identifying a history of the user in the network including previous content requested by the user, determining future content to load onto at least a first of the plurality of base stations based on the profile, and instructing a content server to load the future content onto the first base station before receiving a request from the user for the future content.
1 . A method of loading content for a user in a network including a plurality of base stations, the method comprising:
obtaining a profile of the user, the profile identifying a history of the user in the network including previous content requested by the user;
determining future content to load onto at least a first of the plurality of base stations based on the profile; and
instructing a content server to load the future content onto the first base station before receiving a request from the user for the future content.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a request for the future content from the user.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining future content includes,
determining the first of the plurality of base stations based on movement of the user.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the determining the first of the plurality of base stations is performed periodically.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining determines future content to load based on a time of day.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
determining the time of day based on a history of traffic of the network, wherein the instructing instructs the content server to load the future content during the determined time of day.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining future content includes,
determining a probability the user will request the future content.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the instructing instructs the content server based on the probability the user will request the future content.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining an effect of loading the future content; and
adjusting a version of the future content based on the determined effect.
10 . A network monitor configured to,
obtain a profile of user in the network, the profile identifying a history of the user in the network including previous content requested by the user;
determine future content to load onto at least a first of a plurality of base stations based on the profile; and
instruct a content server to load the future content onto the first base station before receiving a request from the user for the future content.
11 . The network monitor of claim 10 , further configured to receive a request for the future content from the user.
12 . The network monitor of claim 10 , further configured to determine the first of the plurality of base stations based on movement of the user.
13 . The network monitor of claim 12 , further configured to determine the first of the plurality of base stations is performed periodically.
14 . The network monitor of claim 10 , further configured to determine future content to load based on a time of day.
15 . The network monitor of claim 14 , further configured to determine the time of day based on a history of traffic of the network and instruct the content server to load the future content during the determined time of day.
16 . The network monitor of claim 10 , further configured to determine a probability the user will request the future content.
17 . The network monitor of claim 16 , further configured to instruct the content server based on the probability the user will request the future content.
18 . The network monitor of claim 10 , further configured to determine an effect of loading the future content and adjust a version of the future content based on the determined effect.
