In an aspect, eNB 705-a can be based on collection on WWAN and WLAN link One or more statistical datas, determine by the data path 745 of WWAN link 746 to UE 715 service data stream dosis refracta and by the data path 750 at WLAN link 751 On to the dosis refracta of this data stream of UE 715 service.Such as, collect for WWAN link 746 Statistical data may include that CQI and MCS for each UE serviced by eNB 705-a, The DL buffer size that often carries and the UL Buffer Status Report, total wireless from each UE Resource service condition (such as, the frequency of WWAN resource and/or time component) and every user's is wireless Resource service condition and/or the hardware of WWAN and backhaul load.Such as, for WLAN link 751 The statistical data collected may include that MCS and the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) of every UE; The business that sends and receive, failure and the packet that abandons and retry trial;WLAN AP 705-b Channel loading;Total Radio Resource service condition (such as, the time component of WLAN resource) and The Radio Resource service condition of every user and/or the hardware of WLAN and backhaul load.
In an aspect, when eNB 705-a may determine that each in one or more time periods Between in section on WWAN link 746 and WLAN link 751 to the data stream of UE 715 service Dosis refracta.Such as, each time period in one or more time periods can be to approximate one second or other Reasonable time section.Such as, one or more time periods can be the identical persistent period or have not The same persistent period.In one aspect of the method, eNB 705-a can based on situation or event determine by To the dosis refracta of the data stream of UE 715 service on WWAN link 746 and WLAN link 751, Thus allow eNB 705-a rapidly the channel conditions of difference is reacted rather than waited a period of time, Dosis refracta will be updated within this time period.Such as, little as the RSSI of WLAN link 751 If when threshold value or WLAN AP 705-b can not select minimum MCS during time interval, Then eNB 705-a may determine that want completely on WWAN link 746 to UE 715 server data stream. In this example, eNB 705-a may determine that and will service to UE 715 on WLAN link 751 The dosis refracta of data stream is 0.
In an aspect, eNB 705-a can determine at WWAN link based on system optimization To the dosis refracta of the data stream of UE 715 service on 746 and WLAN links 751.Such as, system is excellent Change can be configured to make link (such as, the WWAN for available in wireless communication system 700-a Link 746 and WLAN link 751) overall system maximization of utility.In an aspect, eNB 705-a can be iteratively performed this system optimization.ENB 705-a can distribution will be at WWAN chain When the dosis refracta of the data stream of UE 715 service, ratio is used on the link 751 of road 746 and WLAN Fair (PF) tolerance realizes fairness.In an aspect, eNB 705-a can be determined by making Overall system utility function F (S) maximized distribution as defined in formula (1) increases total system System effectiveness:
F (S)=ΣkAlpha_k (S_k) * beta_k* Δ (X_k)/X_k (formula 1)
Wherein, S is the vector of S_k, and X_k is total throughout (such as, the bit up to the present carrying k Per second) filter value, and Δ X_k be carrying k expection handling capacity (example within the follow-up time period As, bits per second).Such as, S_k is the numerical value between 0 and 1, and its expression will be at WWAN The dosis refracta of the data stream of the carrying k of service on link 746, when using S_k, alpha_k (S_k) It is the function comprising the difference between the effective data rate on each link, and beta_k comprises often The difference between delay on individual link.Item alpha_k (S_k) and beta_k are on each link Difference between data rate and delay is optimized, so that the packet rearrangement at upper strata Impact minimize.It should be noted that, S instruction will be at WWAN link 746 or WLAN link 751 The distribution of each carrying of upper service, (such as, will be at WWAN link 746 and WLAN link The dosis refracta of the data stream of service on 751, so that S_k=0 is all corresponding to service on WLAN Carrying k and S_k=1 corresponding to service on WWAN all carrying k).
In one aspect of the method, eNB 705-a can be determined by making as defined in formula (2) Overall system utility function F (S) maximized distribution increases overall system effectiveness:
F (S)=ΣkAlpha_k (S_k) * beta_k*log (Y_k) (formula 2)
Wherein, Y_k is the desired data rate of carrying k.In an aspect, eNB 705-a can be based on Data rate on each link estimates Y_k (such as, WWAN link 746 and WLAN chain Road 751).Such as, if Y ' _ k is defined as representing LTE data rate and Y " _ k is defined as Represent WLAN data speed, then eNB 705-a can determine Y_k based on formula (3):
Y_k=S_k*Y ' _ k+ (1-S_k) * Y " _ k. (formula 3)
In above-mentioned formula 1 to 3, all carryings that carrying index k is applied in system, including By configuring and the carrying of service on only one link.Therefore, can be by the impact of all carryings It is included in system optimization.Additionally, each carrying index k and direction link (such as, UL or DL) it is associated, and therefore UL and DL carrying can all be considered in system optimization.Such as, Can be for up-link carrying and both calculating overall system utility function F (S) of downlink carrying.
In an aspect, (such as, eNB 705-a can be assigned to each link by comprising WWAN link 746 and WLAN link 751) on the change of priority of each carrying to being System utility function F (S) is optimized.Such as, WWAN link 746 and WLAN link 751 can QoS is provided by packet scheduling to carrying to continue on through.Such as, if scheduler is in different QoS grade Carrying between distribute higher priority, then function F (S) can be modified to comprise this priority In change.
In an aspect, eNB 705-a can be by comprising each link (such as, WWAN chain Road 746 and WLAN link 751) on the change of data rate system utility function F (S) is entered Row optimizes, so that similar delay and handling capacity can be kept on each link.Therefore, it can The delay distortion making the packet serviced on each link minimizes, and can reduce or avoid upper The impact of the rearrangement of the packet at Ceng.
In an aspect, it is used for making function F (S) maximized search volume have and is defined as carrying The dimension of sum.In in this regard, eNB 705-a can get rid of carrying based on one or more situations Some in sum, thus reduce dimension.Such as, these situations may include that (a) carrying segmentation The situation triggered or event (such as, if an access link (such as, WWAN link 746) It is poor (such as, less than threshold value), and another link (such as, WLAN link 751) is can Accept time, switching carrier), (b) carrying is configured with only WWAN link 746 or only WLAN link 751, what (c) carried forbids that intervalometer is currently running, and/or (d) is in any situation Under, change (this does not include the switching in situation (a)) for the segmentation exceeding several carrying.
Such as, Ω can be defined to indicate that the search volume of a S by eNB 705-a, with based on situation A () to (d) assesses F (S), and Sc can be defined as situation (a) to (d) and The point found.If Ω is empty, then eNB 705-a can select this point as the optimum point of F (S). Otherwise, if Ω is not empty, then eNB 705-a can find the optimum of F (S) with optimizing application process Point is so that overall system maximization of utility.
Such as, eNB 705-a can pass through defining point S1 (wherein, S1=Sc) and carrys out optimizing application mistake Journey.Subsequently, eNB 705-a may determine that the most the biggest to the quantity of the point that F (S) is assessed Maximum quantity (such as, owing to calculating requirement) in the assessment allowed.If the most F (S) is entered The maximum quantity that the quantity of the point assessed of having gone is allowed more than assessment, then eNB 705-a stops optimizing Journey.Otherwise, eNB 705-a can be based at least partially on from WWAN link 746 and WLAN Each carrying is ranked up by the amount of the contemplated system effectiveness splitting carrying between link 751 and obtain.
