AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This approach enhances resource block allocation efficiency, reduces interference, and increases system capacity, particularly in densely populated areas, making the LTE network more economically viable and capable of serving a larger subscriber base while minimizing satellite interference.

Problems solved by technology

In particular, it is known that it may be difficult for satellite systems to reliably serve densely populated areas, because the satellite signal may be blocked by high-rise structures and / or may not penetrate into buildings.
As a result, the satellite spectrum may be underutilized or unutilized in such areas.

Abstract

Resource blocks in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network may be allocated by determining a maximum number of user equipments (UEs) in the LTE network that are permitted to transmit in a time period using a given resource block. This maximum number of UEs may be determined according to an upper limit on the overall transmission power in the LTE network for the given resource block. The given resource block may be allocated in the time period to up to the maximum number of UEs based on each UE's geographic location within the network. Related systems, methods, and devices are disclosed.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]Various embodiments described herein relate to wireless communications systems and methods, and more particularly to devices and methods for allocating resources in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Satellite wireless communications systems and methods are widely used for wireless communications. Satellite wireless communications systems and methods generally employ at least one space-based component, such as one or more satellites that are configured to wirelessly communicate with a plurality of user equipments (UEs).[0003]A satellite wireless communications system or method may utilize a single antenna beam covering an entire area served by the system. Alternatively, in cellular satellite wireless communications systems and methods, multiple beams are provided, each of which can serve distinct geographical areas in the overall service region, to collectively serve an overall satellite footprint. Thus, a wireless archit...
