Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING CONNECTIONS AT HYPERTEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL (HTTP) CLIENT FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of wireless communication systems. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for managing connections at Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Client to increase overall throughput of overall communication network. BACKGROUND [0002] The following description of related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section be used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of prior art. [0003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second-generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. 3G technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth-generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth-generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users. [0004] In a communication network, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Client uses multiple connections, rather than a single connection, in order to complete communication efficiently. Using a single connection for communication allows only one outstanding request for a peer which creates significant overhead, and slowing down the application which in turn, causes ripple effect on other dependent applications. Using multiple but limited number of connections solves this problem. However, use of multiple connections has its own disadvantages. [0005] One such issue is idle connections. When no communication is taking place between a client and a server but a connection persists between them, an idle connection occurs. While multiple connections may be added to cater to requests when the load is high, these connections remain in the idle state when the load reduces. [0006] Further, in the existing solutions where an idle connection take place, a wait-timer for a pre-defined period of time is used at the server end to monitor if communication is taking place or not. However, when the idle connection occurs and no communication takes place within such pre-defined period of time, activation of firewalls take place to break the connection from the server end. After the idle wait time, the firewalls (if any exists between HTTP client and server) tear-down the underlying transport layer connection without letting the client know. This leads to the formation of a stale state (or idle state), i.e. the connection can no longer be used to send requests to the server and the connection’s state at the client’s end shall always be stale. This also leads to inefficient usage of the resources. [0007] Further, over the period of time various solutions have been developed to improve the performance of communication devices and to enhance HTTP client to efficiently use multiple connections to increase overall throughput of overall communication network. However, there are certain challenges with existing solutions such increased overall time for communication due to formation of a new connection for every request for communication, and occurrence of stale connection when an idle state for a connection occurs for more than the pre-defined period. [0008] Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art to managing connections at Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Client for enhancing HTTP client to efficiently use multiple connections to increase overall throughput of overall communication network, which the present disclosure aims to address.
