When the terminal accesses the transmission server through the RAN of the mobile communication system, the serving cell where the terminal is located is assigned a cell identifier by the system, and the transmission server can determine the cell currently accessed by the terminal by acquiring the cell information of the cell accessed by the terminal. When the terminal accesses the transmission server through the fixed communication system, the line connected by the terminal is assigned a line identifier by the system, and the transmission server can determine the line currently accessed by the terminal by acquiring the line information of the line connected by the terminal. Optionally, the method for obtaining the network status information by the transmission policy server may be a dynamic acquisition manner, as follows: The transmission policy server may send a network status query request to the RAN or the OSS, and the RAN or OSS writes the current statistics and recorded network status information. The first network status report is sent to the transmission policy server, and the transmission policy server receives the first network status report, and then obtains the current network status information. Further optionally, the transmission policy server may be, but is not limited to, periodically to the RAN or

The OSS sends a network status query request to obtain corresponding updated network status information. Optionally, the method for obtaining the network status information by the transmission policy server may also be a static acquisition manner, as follows: The network status historical data is a long-term operation of the network that is obtained by the radio access network or the operation support system according to the historical record of the network operation. Data, which may be, but is not limited to, recorded and provided by the operator or service provider during network operation and monitoring. Based on the recorded network state history data, the RAN or the OSS collects and generates a second network status report and sends the report to the transmission policy server, including historical network status information.

Optionally, the method for determining the network busy time period and the network idle time period may be: when the network status information includes the number of access users, the transmission policy server determines the network busy time period and the network idle time period according to the network status information. The basis can be, but is not limited to, evaluating the operating state of the system and setting a second threshold to divide the network state.

The transmission policy server determines that the number of access users is greater than the second threshold value corresponding to the network busy time period;

The transmission policy server determines that the number of access users is less than or equal to the second threshold corresponding period is the network idle time period.

For example, different rates can be used when the network is in different situations, such as a relatively high rate when the network load is high, and a relatively low rate when the network load is low, so that the data is transmitted. Ability to choose the appropriate transmission time based on the transmission strategy. In the specific implementation process, other types of transmission policies may also be used, such as specifying the transmission priority according to the average throughput, or the number of access users, or the congestion probability, so that the transmission party selects an appropriate time for data transmission, and avoids Congestion when the network load is high, and fully utilize the idle resources when the network load is low, to achieve the purpose of optimizing network traffic.

Status information, generating the corresponding transmission strategy. Further, the transmission policy server may query the RAN or the OSS in a periodic or non-period manner, obtain an updated first network status report, and obtain the network from the network. Network status information, so the transmission policy server needs to generate a dynamic transmission policy based on the latest network status information. Optionally, the method for generating a transmission policy by the transmission policy server may be: if the transmission policy server obtains the second network status report by using the static acquisition mode, and obtains the network status information from the network, the transmission policy server obtains the Network status information, generating the corresponding transmission policy. Since the transmission policy server passes the network state history data, the obtained second network state report has a long-term stability, and the network state information carried by the transmission policy server does not change in a relatively long time range, and thus the transmission policy server can be based on the network. State information, generating a static transmission strategy that remains constant over a relatively long period of time.

Transmission. Optionally, the method for performing data transmission according to the rate may be: performing a first charging rate during a busy time period of the network, and the rate is high, and the transmission server stops the data to be transmitted in the cache for temporary transmission. During the idle time period of the network, the second charging rate is executed, and the rate is low, and the transmission server transmits data to the terminal.
