Zhongxing Communications applies for patents related to flexible flow control methods, achieving flexible network traffic control and optimizing flow control effectiveness.

March 19 News: According to information from the National Intellectual Property Administration, ZTE Corporation has applied for a patent titled “Flexible Flow Control Method, Network Node, Electronic Device, and Storage Medium.” The application publication number is CN121664748A, the application number is CN202411283298.1, the publication date is March 13, 2026, and the application date is September 13, 2024. The inventors are Zhu Xiangyang and Yu Jinghai. The patent agency is Beijing Guohao Tiancheng Intellectual Property Agency Co., Ltd., with patent agent Yao Linjie. The classification number is H04L47/127.

Patent Abstract: This application discloses a flexible flow control method, network node, electronic device, and storage medium. The flexible flow control method includes: when network congestion occurs at the first network node, obtaining flexible flow control node information carried in the service message; the flexible flow control node information includes node information of a flexible flow control enable node located upstream of the first network node; determining a first flexible flow control node corresponding to the first network node based on the flexible flow control node information; the first flexible flow control node is at least one upstream flexible flow control enable node; generating a first flexible flow control protocol message based on the node information of the first flexible flow control node; the protocol message is used to instruct the first flexible flow control node to perform network traffic control; and sending the protocol message to the first flexible flow control node. This application achieves a flexible network traffic control mechanism, moving beyond traditional hop-by-hop or source-end flow control, optimizing network flow control effectiveness.
