In the mobile communication system related technology, a packet service transmission allocates a block resource through a Qos (Quality of Service) Right weight. For example, three users A, B, and C do group service together. The Qos value of the A user is defined by the user's level after the user and the operator sign the contract. The QosRight weight of the A user can be understood as Qos*Factor (factor). ), this Factor can be adjusted according to different optimization strategies.

The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention allocates resources according to the actual demand of the user for the block resources, and requires more users to allocate more, and unnecessary users are less allocated. At the same time, according to the adjustment of the user's traffic volume, the allocation of the block resources is adjusted accordingly.

Embodiment 1

As shown in FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for resource allocation and control, where the method includes:

Step S11: The traffic volume of the periodic statistical data transmission;

Step S13: When the traffic volume is greater than the traffic threshold, the block resource allocation is adjusted according to the current service rate and the preset expected traffic rate.

Optionally, before step S101, the method may further include:

Step S10: Statistics of the business duration.

The current service rate can be calculated by the following formula: traffic divided by business duration.

The expected service rate can be preset to an interval or a value. For example, the desired traffic rate can be set to [M1, M2], where M1 is the lower bound of the desired traffic rate, M2 is the upper bound of the desired traffic rate, and M2 ≥ M1.

The adjusting the block resource allocation according to the current service rate and the preset expected service rate includes:

When the current service rate is less than M1, it is determined whether the accumulated acceleration times is less than a preset acceleration number threshold; when the accumulated acceleration times is less than the acceleration number threshold, the block allocation ratio factor is increased, and the accumulated The number of accelerations is increased by one;

When the current service rate is greater than M2, it is determined whether the accumulated deceleration times is less than a preset deceleration number threshold; when the accumulated deceleration times is less than the deceleration number threshold, the block allocation ratio factor is decreased, and the accumulated deceleration is performed. Add 1 to the number of times;

When M1 ≤ current service rate ≤ M2, the block allocation ratio factor is not adjusted;

When the current service rate is less than M1, and the number of accelerations is greater than or equal to the acceleration number threshold, the block allocation ratio factor is not adjusted;

When the current service rate is greater than M2, and the number of decelerations is greater than or equal to the deceleration number threshold, the block allocation ratio factor is not adjusted, or the time slot is reduced and the accumulated deceleration times are cleared.

As shown in FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an apparatus for resource allocation and control, where the apparatus includes:

The statistics module 11 is configured to: a traffic volume of periodic statistical data transmission;

The control module 12 is configured to: when the traffic volume is greater than the traffic threshold, adjust the block resource allocation according to the current service rate and the preset expected traffic rate.

Optionally,

The statistics module 11 is further configured to: count the service duration; the current service rate is the service amount divided by the service duration; the preset expected service rate is set to [M1, M2], where M1 is the lower limit of the desired service rate, M2 In order to expect the upper limit of the service rate, M2 ≥ M1.

Optionally,

The control module 12 is configured to:

When the accumulated number of decelerations is less than the deceleration number threshold, the block allocation ratio factor is decreased, and the accumulated deceleration times is increased by one;

When the current traffic rate is less than M1, and the accumulated acceleration times are greater than or equal to the pre-addition When the speed threshold is set, the allocation factor of the block is not adjusted;

In the foregoing technical solution, the size of the traffic of the user data transmission and the service duration are recorded in the process of the packet service, and the current service rate of all users is calculated every timed period. In this embodiment, the current service rate. = business volume / business duration.

Each time-delay period is compared with the traffic threshold according to the size of the user traffic. If the traffic exceeds the traffic threshold, the adjustment of the block resource allocation according to the traffic volume is implemented. The expected service rate is set according to the level, and the expected service rate can be set to a certain range, and the user whose current service rate meets the expected service rate interval is not adjusted for the block resource allocation; the current service rate is lower than the expected service rate interval. For the user of the value, increase the block resource allocation ratio factor assigned to the user; for the user whose current service rate is higher than the maximum value of the expected service rate interval, appropriately lower the allocation ratio factor of the block resource to make a part of it Resources to more needed users. After implementing the policy of reducing the block resource allocation ratio for several consecutive times, the current service rate is still higher than the expected service rate, and the channel occupancy of the user is appropriately reduced, so that more block resources are freed and allocated to other requirements. More pressing users. If the current service rate belongs to the expected service rate interval, the block resource ratio factor may not be adjusted. For the service rate that is much higher than the maximum value of the expected service rate interval, the occupied physical information may be considered, and the service rate is far lower than the expected service rate interval. The minimum value can be considered temporarily not adjusted, waiting for the next statistical period.

According to the discussion of the relationship between the block resource ratio factor and the block resource allocation in the background art of the present application, in an embodiment, the block resource allocation may be adjusted correspondingly by adjusting the block resource ratio factor, and correspondingly, by allocating the block resource. Adjustments also achieve adjustments to the business rate. When the block resource ratio factor is increased, the block resource allocation is correspondingly increased, and the service rate is correspondingly increased. When the block resource ratio factor is decreased, the block resource allocation is correspondingly reduced, and the service rate is correspondingly reduced.

In this embodiment, the timing period, the expected service rate, and the block resource allocation ratio factor are all configurable parameters, and can be adjusted according to the application scenario in the network system.

Among them, in the GSM system, the block resource block is the smallest unit of the packet service, and is a transmission carrier of data and signaling, and TBF (Temporary Block Flow) It is also the carrier of Block. The packet service process is based on the complete process of the uplink/downlink TBF during the entire service cycle, from establishment to release, and the service duration is the duration of the uplink/downlink TBF.

The timing period can be a configurable timing period for resource allocation regulation. Traffic statistics and business duration refer to traffic and business duration during a timed period.

The size of the traffic can be in kilobytes (KB) and is of the same order of magnitude as the configurable traffic threshold. The unit of business duration can be seconds (S), which is of the same order of magnitude as the timing period. The service rate unit can be kilobytes per second (KB/S), which is of the same order of magnitude as the configurable expected traffic rate. The block resource allocation ratio factor is similar to a percentage.

After the user has reached the configured traffic threshold, the user allocates the proportion factor of the block to the user according to the calculation and comparison of the current service rate and the expected service rate. Wherein, reducing the block allocation ratio factor or partially reducing the channel occupied by the TBF can reduce the number of block allocations for the TBF, thereby reducing the speed. Increasing the block allocation ratio factor will increase the service rate accordingly.

Embodiment 2

The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is described below in conjunction with the application scenario.

As shown in FIG. 3, this embodiment provides a method for resource allocation regulation, where the method includes:

Step S102: the TBF is built and enters the transmission state, and then step S104 is performed;

Step S104: The BSS (Base Station System) receives the Packet Downlink Ack or Egprs Packet Downlink Ack message sent from the MS (Mobile Station), and accumulates the traffic volume and the TBF duration of the TBF.

Step S106: Each timed period, according to the recorded TBF traffic volume and the TBF duration. If the traffic of the TBF is greater than the configurable traffic threshold, the TBF rate is calculated, and the TBF rate is the TBF traffic/TBF duration. Otherwise, step S124 is performed;

Step S108: comparing the TBF rate with the configured expected service rate interval;

If the TBF rate is within the expected traffic rate interval, step S124 is performed; if the TBF rate is lower than the lower limit of the expected traffic rate interval, step S110 is performed; if the TBF rate is higher than the upper limit of the desired rate interval, step S114 is performed.

Step S110: determining whether the TBF is the Kth acceleration, where K is a configurable parameter;

If the TBF has been accelerated K times, the implementation effect still does not reach the desired rate interval, indicating that the TBF does not obtain additional block resource subsidies, then step S124 is performed;

If the TBF does not reach the K-acceleration optimization, step S112 is performed.

Step S112: Increase the block allocation ratio factor of the TBF, and increase the number of accelerations by one. Then performing step S122;

Step S114: determining whether the TBF is the Nth deceleration;

Where N is a configurable parameter;

If the TBF has been decelerated N times, the implementation effect still does not reach the desired rate range, indicating that the TBF has considerable resources. Then executing step S118;

If the TBF has not reached the N-speed deceleration adjustment, step S116 is performed.

Step S116: Lower the block allocation ratio factor of the TBF, and increase the number of decelerations by one. Then performing step S122;

Step S118: the step is optional;

The switch control may be set, and if the switch is turned on, step S120 is performed; when the switch is turned off, step S124 is performed.

Step S120: reducing the time slot, that is, the physical channel occupied by the terminal device, and clearing the number of decelerations to 0, step S122;

If the terminal device occupies only one physical channel in the service process, it cannot be reduced, so that the TBF is not interrupted.

Step S122: The original block allocation strategy in the GSM system has been described in the background art. Step S124 is performed.

Step S124: The process of the TBF transmission state step S104 is repeated.

According to the foregoing embodiment, in the process of performing the packet service, if the user rate is slow, the resource subsidy based on the traffic volume is obtained, and if the user rate is within the configurable expected rate interval, the current The block allocation resources are unchanged and the user is not affected. If the user rate is much higher than the expected rate interval, the user has the ability to free up part of the block resource allocation. Other users who are more in need, through the embodiments of the present invention, wireless resources are more fully utilized. As a result, the overall service quality and user experience of the entire network are improved.
