Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a resource configuration method, device and equipment. Background Art

[0002] In common wireless network spectrum planning, a dedicated frequency resource is allocated to each wireless mobile communication system, and the same frequency resource cannot be allocated to multiple different wireless mobile communication systems. Mobile communication systems with different wireless access standards operate on different frequency resources.

[0003] The same frequency resource cannot be allocated to multiple different wireless mobile communication systems. When frequency resources are limited, multiple wireless communication systems cannot be operated simultaneously. For example, the existing GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), NB-IoT (Narrow Band Internet of Things) and LTE (Long Term Evolution) three communication systems are currently deployed together on the 935MHz-949MHz frequency band totaling 15M. Based on the number of users in the existing network, GSM requires 5M-8M bandwidth, LTE requires 10M bandwidth, and NB-IoT requires at least 1M bandwidth. The bandwidth required by these three systems combined exceeds the total bandwidth of 15M. They cannot be deployed simultaneously, or only a small amount of frequency band can be allocated to each system, affecting network performance and user experience. Summary of the invention

[0077] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the present invention more clear, a detailed description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a resource configuration method, which is applied to a decision-making device, including:

[0079] Step 11, obtaining reference information of the first device;

[0080] Step 12, determining a second device that can currently use the wireless resources based on the reference information of at least one first device;

[0081] Wherein, when the wireless resources are being occupied, the at least one first device includes: a device requesting to use the wireless resources and a device occupying the wireless resources; when the wireless resources are not occupied, the at least one first device includes: a device requesting to use the wireless resources.

[0082] Optionally, the wireless resources include time domain resources, frequency domain resources, time-frequency domain resources, etc. The determined second device is any one or more of the at least one first device.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first device makes an ownership decision of the wireless resource based on the reference information of the first device, that is, it determines which first devices can currently use the wireless resource. It should be noted that before step 11, the method also includes: receiving a first request sent by the first device, the first request being used to request the use of the wireless resource. If the wireless resource is currently occupied, it is necessary to consider the device that is occupying the wireless resource and the device that sends the first request (it can be one device sending the first request or multiple devices sending the first request); and if the wireless resource is not currently occupied, it is only necessary to consider the device that sends the first request (it can be one device sending the first request or multiple devices sending the first request).

[0084] It should be noted that at least one first device may be a device of the same system or a device of a different system; the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), NB-IoT (Narrow Band Internet of Things), LTE (Long Term Evolution), 5G mMTC (massive machine type communications), uRRLC (low latency, high reliability communications) and eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband) and future mobile communication systems.

[0085] Among them, wireless communication systems of different standards that share wireless resources can be deployed on the same device or on different devices.

[0086] As an optional embodiment, the reference information of the first device includes at least one of the following:

[0087] The priority of the first device to use resources:

[0088] The frequency resource utilization rate of the first device.

[0089] The first device and the decision-making device are deployed on a common device; or, the first device and the decision-making device are deployed on different devices.

[0090] During the wireless resource ownership decision process, the first device needs to obtain reference information (the reference information can also be called network status information) from each first device in order to make a decision on the wireless resource usage rights. When the first device and the decision device are deployed on the same device, the reference information is exchanged through signal messages inside the device; when the first device and the decision device are on different devices, the reference information is exchanged by transmitting the first message and the second message. For example, Figure 2 The specific interaction methods are as follows:

[0091] 1) The decision-making device sends a first message to the first device;

[0092] The protocol format of the transmission message includes but is not limited to SNMP between the network management and the base station, X2AP between the base stations, S1AP between the core network and the base station, etc., which are not specifically limited here. The first message includes a request for the first device to report the reference information of the first device.

[0093] 2) The first device sends a second message to the decision-making device;

[0094] The protocol format of the transmission message includes but is not limited to SNMP between the network management and the base station, X2AP between the base stations, S1AP between the core network and the base station, etc. The second message includes the reference information of the first device requested in the first message.

[0095] As yet another optional embodiment, in the case where the reference information of the first device includes a priority of the first device for using resources, step 12 includes:

[0096] At least one first device is selected in descending order of priority as the second device that can currently use the wireless resources.

[0097] When a device needs to use wireless resources for business purposes, it cannot preempt wireless resources used by devices with higher priority, but can preempt wireless resources used by devices with lower priority. When executing resource preemption, the wireless resources used by the device with the lowest priority are selected; when the business volume of a system decreases and wireless resources are no longer needed, the wireless resources are directly released.

[0098] The priority of the first device in using the resource is determined by at least one of the following information:

[0099] A network standard of the first device;

[0100] a system bandwidth of the first device;

[0101] Available spectrum resources of the first device;

[0102] a network capacity of the first device;

[0103] The traffic load of the first device;

[0104] The service type of the first device.

[0105] Optionally, the priority of resource use of each first device is configured in advance according to the service type of the main service served by the first device, and the system with a higher priority has the priority right to use the wireless resources.

[0106] Example 1: GSM, NB-IoT and LTE are deployed together on 935MHz-949MHz. Since GSM mainly carries voice services, it has the highest priority; NB-IoT mainly carries smoke alarm monitoring services, which has the second highest priority; LTE carries Internet services, which has the lowest priority. That is, the priority of each system in using wireless resources is configured as GSM>NB-IoT>LTE.

[0107] When GSM needs to occupy wireless resources, it will first occupy the wireless resources used by LTE, and then occupy the wireless resources used by NB-IoT;

[0108] When NB-IoT needs to occupy radio resources, it cannot occupy the radio resources used by GSM and can only occupy the radio resources used by LTE;

[0109] LTE cannot preempt the radio resources of other systems;

[0110] When GSM and NB-IoT networks are idle, the shared spectrum is released for LTE to use.

[0111] Optionally, the size of the system bandwidth of the first device is inversely proportional to the priority. That is, the first device with a smaller system bandwidth has the priority right to use radio resources. Among them, the system bandwidth of the first device includes any one of the following:

[0112] The minimum scheduling unit in the first device, the smaller the minimum scheduling unit, the higher the priority. For example, the priority configuration of each system using radio resources is NB-IoT 3.75K > LTE 180K > GSM 200K;

[0113] The minimum allocable system bandwidth in the first device, the smaller the system bandwidth, the higher the priority. For example, the priority configuration of each system using radio resources is LTE 1.4M < GSM 200K = NB-IoT 200K;

[0114] The ratio of the minimum allocable system bandwidth to the minimum scheduling unit in the first device, the smaller this ratio, the higher the priority of the corresponding first device.

[0115] Optionally, the size of the available spectrum resources of the first device is inversely proportional to the priority, that is, the first device with less available spectrum resources has the priority right to use radio resources. Among them, the available spectrum resources of the first device include any one of the following:

[0116] The frequency bandwidth already allocated to the first device in the frequency band where the radio resources are located, the smaller the frequency bandwidth, the higher the priority. For example, the priority configuration of each system using radio resources is LTE 5M < GSM 800K < NB-IoT 200K, where the radio resources are the resources that can be shared by each system in the 900M frequency band;

[0117] The ratio of the frequency bandwidth already allocated to the first device in the radio resources to the minimum scheduling unit, the smaller this ratio, the higher the priority of the corresponding first device;

[0118] The total frequency bandwidth already allocated to the first device in the total resources, the smaller the total frequency bandwidth, the higher the priority;

[0119] The ratio of the total frequency bandwidth already allocated to the first device in the total resources to the minimum scheduling unit, the smaller this ratio, the higher the priority of the corresponding first device.

[0120] It should be noted that the total resources include wireless resources and dedicated resources of multiple first devices that can use the wireless resources. The dedicated resources can be the sum of the frequency band resources where the wireless resources are located and other frequency band resources, such as 1800M, 1900M, 2100M, 2600M, 3500M, etc.

[0121] Optionally, the size of the network capacity of the first device is proportional to the priority. That is, the larger the network capacity of the first device, the higher the priority. The network capacity includes: the maximum number of users that can be successfully accessed per unit time, the maximum number of RRC validly connected users supported per unit time (RRC validly connected users refer to the number of users who perform at least one data transmission per unit time), the maximum number of users that can be supported for scheduling per unit time, and the maximum number of users that can be served per unit time, where the unit time can be 1ms, 1s, or 1 day. Among them, the network capacity of the first device includes any of the following:

[0122] a ratio of the minimum allocatable radio resource to the minimum scheduling unit in the first device;

[0123] The network capacity of the wireless resources that can be allocated in the first device; for example, the network capacity corresponding to the unit resources that can be allocated in the first device.

[0124] As another optional embodiment, when the reference information of the first device includes frequency resource utilization of the first device, step 12 includes:

[0125] Comparing the resource utilization of the first device with a first threshold value and a second threshold value of the first device respectively; wherein the first threshold value is less than the second threshold value;

[0126] Determine, according to the comparison result, a second device that can currently use the wireless resource;

[0127] Among them, when the resource utilization rate of the first device is lower than the first threshold value, the first device may release the occupation of the wireless resources or not request to occupy the wireless resources; when the resource utilization rate of the first device is higher than the first threshold value and lower than the second threshold value, the first device maintains the current state (for example, the device occupying the wireless resources maintains the occupied state and does not release the occupation of the wireless resources; for another example, the device that does not request to occupy the wireless resources maintains the current state and does not request to occupy the wireless resources); when the resource utilization rate of the first device is higher than the second threshold value, the first device may maintain the occupation of the wireless resources or request to occupy the wireless resources.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present invention, each first device is configured with two frequency resource utilization thresholds, namely, a release resource utilization threshold and a reclaim resource utilization threshold. For example, system 1 sets the first threshold value of system 1 (Thresh1 system 1) and the second threshold value of system 1 (Thresh2 system 1); system 2 sets the first threshold value of system 2 (Thresh1 system 2) and the second threshold value of system 2 (Thresh2 system 2); wherein, the first threshold value corresponding to the same first device is less than the second threshold value; the resource utilization rate of the first device = max (uplink resource utilization rate, downlink resource utilization rate), and the actual resource utilization rate can be used.

[0129] If the resource utilization of system 1 is less than or equal to the second threshold value of system 1 (Thresh2 system 1), system 1 maintains the status quo;

[0130] If the resource utilization of system 1 is greater than the second threshold value of system 1 (Thresh2 system 1), a resource request message is sent to apply for the use of wireless resources with system 2:

[0131] If the resource utilization of system 2 is lower than the first threshold value (Thresh1 system 2) of system 2, system 2 releases the occupied wireless resources to system 1 for use;

[0132] If the resource utilization rate of system 2 is greater than or equal to the first threshold value (Thresh1 system 2) of system 2, the wireless resources occupied by system 2 cannot be released.

[0133] Example 2: When 4G and 5G share spectrum, 5G sets the first threshold value of 5G (i.e., the threshold for releasing PRB utilization, or Thresh1 5G) and the second threshold value of 5G (i.e., the threshold for reclaiming PRB utilization, or Thresh2 5G), and 4G sets the first threshold value of 4G (i.e., the threshold for releasing PRB utilization, or Thresh1 4G) and the second threshold value of 4G (i.e., the threshold for reclaiming PRB utilization, or Thresh2 4G). If the 5G frequency resource utilization is greater than Thresh2 5G, the first device will be notified to request the use of wireless resources. If the 4G frequency resource utilization is lower than Thresh1 4G, 4G needs to release the wireless resources to 5G for use; if the 4G PRB utilization is greater than or equal to Thresh1 4G, the wireless resources occupied by 4G cannot be released. Conversely, if the 4G PRB utilization is greater than Thresh2 4G, the first device will be notified to request the use of wireless resources. If the 5G PRB utilization is lower than Thresh1 5G, 5G needs to release the wireless resources to 4G; if the 5G PRB utilization is greater than or equal to Thresh1 5G, the wireless resources occupied by 5G cannot be released. Among them, PRB utilization = max (uplink PRB utilization, downlink PRB utilization), using the actual PRB utilization.

[0134] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first device includes but is not limited to base stations, base station controllers BSC, distribution units DU, central controllers, core network elements, centralized units CU, OMC (operating and maintenance center), network management servers, edge computing servers, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0135] Continuing with the above example, after determining the second device that can currently use the wireless resources, if the use of the wireless resources changes (preemption or release), the relevant information is notified to other devices.

[0136] Accordingly, the method further includes:

[0137] Sending a first decision result to the determined second device that currently uses the wireless resource, where the first decision result includes at least one of the following:

[0138] Radio resource occupation indication;

[0139] The start time and duration of occupation;

[0140] The start and end time of the occupation.

[0141] Alternatively, the method further comprises:

[0142] A second decision result is sent to the device that is occupying the wireless resource, where the second decision result includes a release indication of the wireless resource.

[0143] Alternatively, the method further comprises:

[0144] When the use of wireless resources changes, the use information of the changed wireless resources is sent to the device that can occupy the wireless resources.

[0145] Optionally, the first device and the decision device are deployed on a common device; or, the first device and the decision device are deployed on different devices. When the first device and the decision device are deployed on a common device, the request for use of wireless resources and the interaction of the decision result are completed through signal messages inside the device.

[0146] When the first device and the decision-making device are in different devices, the application of wireless resources and the interaction of the decision result are completed by transmitting the third message, the fourth message and the fifth message, or the third message and the fourth message. Figure 3 The specific interaction methods are as follows:

[0147] a) The first device sends a third message to the decision-making device, where the third message carries a first request for wireless resources;

[0148] The protocol format of the transmission message includes but is not limited to SNMP between the network management and the base station, X2AP between the base stations, S1AP between the core network and the base station, etc.

[0149] b) After completing the decision on the ownership of the wireless resources, the decision-making device sends a fourth message to the first device.

[0150] The protocol format of the transmission message includes but is not limited to SNMP between the network management and the base station, X2AP between the base stations, S1AP between the core network and the base station, etc.

[0151] The fourth message includes but is not limited to one or more of information such as an indication of occupation or release of wireless resources, the start time and duration of occupation, or the start time and end time of occupation.

[0152] c) The first device sends a fifth message to the decision-making device (this step is optional);

[0153] The protocol format of the transmission message includes but is not limited to SNMP between the network management and the base station, X2AP between the base stations, S1AP between the core network and the base station, etc.

[0154] The fifth message includes but is not limited to one or more of confirmation of the fourth message and usage of the shared frequency band.

[0155] The wireless resource judgment is completed, and the relevant devices receive the notification of wireless resource usage. The device that successfully seizes the wireless resources can create a new cell to use the shared frequency resources, or expand the shared frequency to the spectrum resources that can be used by the existing cells. The system whose wireless resources are seized stops using the seized wireless resources.

[0156] As another embodiment, before step 11, the method further includes:

[0157] According to the total resources and the maximum bandwidth required by the historical traffic of each first device, the sharable wireless resources and the dedicated resources of each first device are configured.

[0158] The total resources can be divided according to the granularity of bandwidth or resource blocks; different systems with different wireless access standards can share wireless resources through time division multiplexing and frequency division multiplexing.

[0159] It should be noted that the first device for configuring wireless resources and the first device for determining the right to use wireless resources may be deployed on the same device or on different devices, which is not specifically limited here.

[0160] It should be further explained that the first device and the decision-making device are deployed on the same device; or, the first device and the decision-making device are deployed on different devices.

[0161] Example 3

[0162] Assume that there are two systems, the total resources are represented by S, the maximum resources required by each system are represented by M1 and M2, the dedicated resources of each system are represented by N1 and N2, and the sharable wireless resources are represented by X (assuming that M1+M2 is greater than S. If this condition is not met, it means that the current total resources are sufficient for the two systems and no sharable wireless resources are needed; M1\M2 are both less than S. If this condition is not met, it means that the current total resources cannot meet the system requirements and should be expanded; M1>=M2). First, determine the sharable wireless resources X, take a value in the interval (MI+M2-S, M1), then N1=M1-X, N2=SX-N1. For example, 4G and 5G are deployed together at 2515MHz-2635MHz. The total available frequency bandwidth is 120M. According to historical business volume, the maximum bandwidth of 4G requires 60M, and the maximum bandwidth of 5G requires 100M. Allocate 20M dedicated resources for 4G, 60M dedicated resources for 5G, and 40M sharable wireless resources. Dedicated resources cannot be shared and can only be used for a certain system to maintain the minimum performance of the system. Shared wireless resources can be shared between 4G and 5G systems.

[0163] Example 4

[0164] Assume that there are three systems, the total resources are represented by S, the maximum resources required by each system are represented by M1, M2, and M3, the dedicated resources of each system are represented by N1, N2, and N3, and the sharable wireless resources are represented by X (assuming that M1+M2+M3 is greater than S. If this condition is not met, it means that the current total resources are sufficient for the three systems and no sharable wireless resources are needed; M1\M2\M3 are all less than S. If this condition is not met, it means that the current total resources cannot meet the system requirements and should be expanded; M1>=M2>=M3). First, determine the sharable wireless resources, calculate an intermediate result Y = (MI + M2 + M3 - S) / 2, if M1\M2\M3 are all greater than Y, then the wireless resource X takes a value in the interval (Y, M1), then N1 = M1-X, N2 = M2-X, N3 = SX-N1-N2; otherwise, the sharable wireless resource X takes a value in the interval (2Y-M3, M1), then N1 = M1-X, N2 = M2-X, N3 = SX-N1-N2. For example, the three communication systems GSM, NB-IoT and LTE are currently deployed together on 935MHz-949MHz. The total available frequency bandwidth is 15M. According to historical business volume, the maximum bandwidth of GSM requires 9M, the maximum bandwidth of LTE requires 10M, and the maximum bandwidth of NB-IoT requires 3M. ​​Allocate 4M dedicated resources for GSM, 5M dedicated resources for LTE, 1M dedicated resources for NB-IoT, and 5M sharable wireless resources. Dedicated resources cannot be shared and can only be used for a certain system to maintain the minimum performance of the system. Shared wireless resources can be shared among GSM, NB-IoT and LTE systems.

[0165] After the frequency planning configuration is completed, when the first device and the decision device are deployed on the same device, the spectrum configuration information is exchanged through the signal message inside the device; when the first device and the decision device are on different devices, the frequency configuration information is notified to the devices of each wireless communication system by transmitting the sixth message or by the sixth message and the seventh message. For example, Figure 4 As shown, the specific method is as follows:

[0166] 1) The decision-making device sends a sixth message to the first device;

[0167] The protocol format of the transmission message includes but is not limited to SNMP between the network management and the base station, X2AP between the base stations, S1AP between the core network and the base station, etc.

[0168] The sixth message includes but is not limited to one or more of configuration information of dedicated frequency resources and sharable wireless resources.

[0169] 2) The first device sends a seventh message to the decision-making device (this step is optional);

[0170] The protocol format of the transmission message includes but is not limited to SNMP between the network management and the base station, X2AP between the base stations, S1AP between the core network and the base station, etc.

[0171] The seventh message includes but is not limited to one or more of a confirmation of the sixth message, configuration information of dedicated frequency resources and sharable wireless resources.

[0172] In summary, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention allocate the same one or more segments of wireless resources to multiple first devices, and heterogeneous system devices with different wireless access standards can share wireless resources through time division multiplexing and frequency division multiplexing; and dynamically adjust the use rights of wireless resources according to the reference information of each heterogeneous system device, so as to solve the problem of simultaneous deployment of multiple communication systems when wireless resources are limited, and improve resource utilization efficiency.
