Detailed Description
In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the present invention, the following detailed description of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
There are many control and performance resources to be allocated in radio resource management, and there are many kinds and numbers of these resources, and transport format/transport format combination resources, radio link control resources are some of them. Wherein, only the transport format/transport format combination resource relates to the resources of some logical channels, transport channels and physical channels. In the invention, a table look-up method is used to obtain the wireless resources required by the system service. All wireless resources and values which are obtained from relevant protocol specifications and simulation and complete system functions are listed in corresponding tables, all record structures in each table are guaranteed to be the same, and values of all the wireless resources under each condition are guaranteed to be uniquely determined. This is a basic condition for obtaining the radio resources required by the system service by using the table lookup method.
The present invention will be described in detail below by taking an example of the configuration of the transmission channel resources. The situations requiring transport channel resource configuration are mainly divided into two situations, namely a Signaling Radio Bearer (SRB) and a Radio Access Bearer (RAB), wherein one RAB includes one or more Radio Bearers (RBs). That is, the system transmission service is divided into the following cases: a single SRB service; a combination service of a certain SRB and a certain RAB; a service combining a certain SRB with a plurality of different RABs. Wherein, the single SRB service, the combined service of a certain SRB and a certain RAB are the single service established by the system; the combined service of a certain SRB and a plurality of different RABs is the combined service established by the system. Because the resource structures to be configured by the RBs in the SRB and the RAB are the same, the configuration parameter tables of the SRB and the RAB can be combined into one table for management and query. When there is a combinational service situation, besides the single transport channel resources need to be configured, the combinational transport channel resources also need to be configured. Therefore, in the method of the present invention, the single service resource table or the combined service resource table is not directly queried according to the system service request condition to obtain the wireless resources required by the system service, but first look for a single SRB service and/or a single RAB service type index, if the service is a single service, the wireless resource required by the system single service can be obtained only by inquiring the single service resource table according to the searched SRB service type index number and/or the SRB service type index number, if it is a combined service, besides obtaining the wireless resources needed by the system single service by inquiring the single service resource table according to the method, the searched SRB service type index number and SRB service type index number are combined according to a predetermined mode to obtain a combined type index number, the wireless resources required by the system combination service can be conveniently obtained by inquiring the combination service resource table with the condition as the condition.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 depicts a detailed flow chart of the steps of a preferred embodiment of the radio resource configuration method of the present invention:

then, in step 102, a transmission format parameter table and a transmission format combination parameter table are established, wherein the transmission format parameter table includes all transmission format parameters required by the system single service and index numbers for searching the parameters, the transmission format combination parameter table includes all transmission format combination parameters required by the system combination service and index numbers for searching the parameters, and fig. 5 and 6 respectively depict the structures of the transmission format parameter table and the transmission format combination parameter table;
step 103, the system establishes a service and inputs a service quality parameter;
then, step 104 is proceeded to determine whether the service established by the system is a single service according to the service quality parameter;
if the service is a single service, step 105 is proceeded to find a corresponding signaling bearer service index table according to the service quality parameter, or find a corresponding signaling bearer service index table and a corresponding user service index table, to obtain at least one single service type index number corresponding to the service quality parameter, where whether to find the signaling bearer service index table or the user service index table is determined according to whether the service quality parameter corresponds to the signaling bearer service or the user service, and the search condition is the service quality parameter, for example, the signaling bearer service index table may use "maximum rate allowed" as the search condition;
then, step 106 is proceeded to search the transmission format parameter table according to the obtained type index number, and obtain the parameters, such as the number of channels, channel parameters, etc., that the single service needs to be configured from the transmission format parameter table;
proceeding to step 107, sorting and outputting the obtained parameters which need to be configured for the single service according to the format requirements needed by the system;
in step 113, the system obtains the required parameters, i.e. the configuration of the radio resources required by the service is completed;
if the service is not a single service, that is, a combined service, then go to step 108, respectively look up a certain corresponding signaling bearer service index table and a plurality of user service index tables according to each service quality parameter in the combination, and obtain a plurality of type index numbers corresponding to the service quality parameters;
proceeding to step 109, searching the transmission format parameter table according to the obtained multiple type index numbers, and obtaining the parameters to be configured for each single service from the transmission format parameter table;
then, step 110 is proceeded to combine the obtained multiple type index numbers corresponding to the service quality parameters according to a predetermined mode to obtain a combined service type index number corresponding to the combined service;
step 111, using the index number of the combined service type as a search condition, searching in a transport format combination parameter table to obtain corresponding combined service parameters, such as the number of user services, the number of combined channels, the combined channel parameters, and the like;
step 112, the parameters which are needed to be configured for each single service and are obtained in step 109 and the combined service parameters obtained in step 111 are sorted and output according to the format requirements needed by the system;
in step 113, the system obtains the required parameters, i.e. the configuration of the radio resources required by the service is completed;
the signaling bearer service index table, the user service index table, the transport format parameter table, and the transport format combination parameter table are illustrated in fig. 3 to 6. Wherein, the column of each italic is an input condition, followed by a query result parameter, "{ … }" and "|" indicate omission, and the table is omitted due to more complicated structure assignment.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the signaling bearer Service (SRB) index table: the table is stored by adopting an array structure, a plurality of records are arranged in the table, each record has the same format and comprises an SRB type index number and service quality parameters provided by a system service request, such as: the uplink maximum bit rate and the downlink maximum bit rate, different rates correspond to different SRB type index numbers, for example, sequentially adding 1 from "71". The method comprises the steps of storing the uplink maximum bit rate in a descending order, wherein each record is a structural body, the table is pre-established and stored in the system, and only query operation is carried out on the table when wireless resources required by system service are configured.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the Radio Access Bearer (RAB) index table: the table is also stored in an array structure, and the table has a plurality of records, each of which has the same format and comprises an RAB type index number and a service quality parameter provided by a system service request. The search condition is the quality parameter of the user service, and the RAB type index number can be determined according to the service quality parameters. It should be noted that if the transport format parameters allocated to two different services are the same, they are considered to have the same type index, for example: when the speed of Background service is the same as that of Interactive service, the allocated transmission format parameters are not different, and the two services use the same type index number. Also, the table is stored using a data structure.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the Transport Format (TFS) parameter table: the table is used for storing the transmission format parameters of the transmission channel, and each record in the table is uniquely distinguished by taking the type index number as a key word, wherein the type index number is the SRB type index number or the RAB type index number obtained by inquiring the two tables (the signaling bearing service index table and the user service index table). Similarly, the table is stored by adopting a data structure, the signaling bearing service and the user service are stored from small to large according to the type index number, and each record is a structural body.
Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the Transport Format Combination (TFCS) parameter table: the table is used for storing the combined service type number and the transmission format combination parameter, and each record in the table is uniquely distinguished by taking the combined service type index number as a key word, wherein the combined service type index number is formed by combining an RAB type index number and an SRB type index number according to a preset mode. As mentioned in step 110 of the aforementioned step flow of the method of the present invention, the obtained plurality of type index numbers corresponding to the service quality parameters are combined in a predetermined manner to obtain a combined service type index number corresponding to the combined service. This combination is illustrated below:
if there are two services, the type indices of the two services are combined in order from small to large. The structure of the finally combined service type index number is as follows: RAB1 type (RAB2 type) SRB type, where RAB1 type < — RAB2 type. For example: one RAB type number is 12, and the other RAB type number is 26; SRB type 72; the combination type number is 122672. The present invention is not limited to this combination, and with minor variations, the SRB model number RAB1 model (RAB2 model), where RAB1 model is < ═ RAB2 model, is contemplated by the appended claims.
Similarly, the transmission channel combination parameter table is stored by adopting an array structure according to a certain regular sequence, namely, all records are divided into three sections: SRB alone; a service + SRB; two services + SRB. The records in the three sections are stored in the order of combination numbers from small to large, and each record is a structure body.

The resource allocation device 22 further includes: the resource request processing device 221 is configured to obtain, from the service index storage device 231, a single service type index number corresponding to the service quality parameter according to the service quality parameter in the resource request message; a type index combining device 222, configured to obtain the index numbers of the single service types from the resource request processing device 231, combine the index numbers of the single service types according to a predetermined manner, obtain the index number of the combined service type corresponding to the service quality parameter, and obtain the resource required by the system service from the service resource storage device 232 according to the index numbers of the single service types and the index number of the combined service type; and the resource sorting device 223 is used for acquiring the resources required by the system service from the type index combination device 222, and allocating the resources according to the system service requirements.
The following describes the configuration process of radio resources required for system services by using the apparatus of the present invention, taking 3.4K signaling +12.2K voice as an example.
First, the four tables shown in fig. 3 to 6 are stored in the resource data management device 23 and are collectively managed by the device. The signaling bearer Service (SRB) index table and the user service (RAB) index table are stored in the service index storage 231, and the Transport Format (TFS) parameter table and the Transport Format Combination (TFCS) parameter table are stored in the service resource storage 232. When the system establishes the service, the wireless resources required by the service are configured through the following processes:
a. a resource request message is first sent from the "resource requesting device" 21 to the "resource allocating device" 22, wherein the radio resources in the resource request message include the quality of service requirements of signaling and voice traffic, such as a signaling rate of 3.4K and a voice traffic of 12.2K.
b. After receiving the resource request message, the "resource allocation device" 22 forwards the quality of service requirement in the resource request message to the "resource data management device" 23 by the "resource request processing device" 221. The "resource data managing means" 23 refers to the signaling bearer Service (SRB) index table and/or the user service (RAB) index table stored in the "service index storing means" 231 according to the query condition of the requested resource, in this example, the results of the rate query are "72" and "1" (see fig. 3 and 4), and returns the results to the "resource allocating means" 22.
c. The "resource allocation device" 22 receives the query result, and transmits the query result to the "type index combining device" 222, and the device 222 combines the two obtained index numbers into a combined type index number according to a predetermined rule, in this example, the combined result is "172". This obtains the three index numbers "72", "1" and "172" for the service. Making queries of TFS (transport format set) and TFCS (transport combination format set);
d. the "resource allocation device" 22 transmits the obtained three index numbers and the obtained combination index number to the "resource data management device" 23, the device 23 queries a Transmission Format (TFS) parameter table stored in the "service resource storage device" 232 according to the first two type index numbers "72" and "1" to obtain a single service resource parameter (see the record content corresponding to the type index numbers 72 and 1 in fig. 5) in the service request, queries a Transmission Format Combination (TFCS) parameter table stored in the "service resource storage device" 232 according to the combination type index number "172" to obtain a combination service resource parameter (see the record content corresponding to the combination index number 172 in fig. 6) in the service request, and then returns the queried parameter result to the "resource allocation device" 22, thereby completing the resource parameter query process.
e. After receiving the parameters of TFS and TFCS, the resource allocation device 22 processes the parameters by the resource arrangement device 223 to form a uniform parameter structure, and returns the uniform parameter structure to the resource request device, until the whole resource allocation request process is finished.
In the above process of inquiring the signaling bearer service index table, the user service index table, the transport format parameter table and the transport format combination parameter table, a segmented or binary inquiry mode can be further used according to the sequence numbers of the tables so as to accelerate the inquiry speed. The present invention is, of course, not limited to these two types of querying, and it is intended that the appended claims include all such different types of querying.
When the invention is used, when new services are added, the wireless resources required by the new services can be realized by only adding corresponding records on the basis of the original table. In practical application, the method of the present invention can be combined with the prior art method of obtaining the resources required by the system service through a formula algorithm, so as to implement the configuration of all the wireless resources of the mobile communication system service and improve the accuracy and speed of the configuration of the system resources, and it is intended that the appended claims include these modifications.
While the present invention has been described with respect to the embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are numerous variations and permutations of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the invention, and it is intended that the appended claims cover such variations and modifications as fall within the true spirit of the invention.
