Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING ONE OR MORE NETWORK REQUESTS FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to wireless communication system, more particularly relates to a method and system for processing one or more network requests. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] In communication networks, 4G or 5G nodes have storage which may include Home Subscriber Server (HSS) or Unified Data Management (UDM). The HSS and UDM may work together and may act as storage (or database) to different nodes and act as database of subscriber information. [0003] The Diameter base protocol is intended to provide an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) framework for applications such as network access or IP mobility in both local and roaming situations. In case of any transaction between a peer node and HSS, the HSS communicates with its peer node on the interface. [0004] In case of application component failure, the HSS will send an error. For example, diameter errors such as network not available, unable to comply, etc. depending upon the state. So, when the HSS fails, it will propagate to the end node and the retry can be either by end node or by peer node. For example, HSS is in communication with MME, and MME comes to know that HSS has failed, the MME can retry or send error message that the service is not available, or request not serviced, etc. In this case, a single node failure will cause a single message failure. [0005] In case of application component failure, signaling message is either retried by Diameter Agent or directly by peer node. So, the application component failure could cause the whole message to be retransmitted over the network again. [0006] Further, in case of repeated re-attempts from the peer nodes, it will involve multiple transactions, which in turn will add to the latency to servicing. There will be additional load on the processing and will require more time. [0007] As a result, owing to the failure / error reported and a delay / latency in processing, the KPI of the network is affected / degraded and there is a service impact, and the service quality is also affected in case of failures. [0008] There is therefore a need to overcome the above disadvantages in signal processing in case of a component failure.
