Description

Resource allocation method and device

Technical field

The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications, and in particular, to a resource allocation method and apparatus.

Background technique

Nowadays, more and more users want to enjoy a given predetermined quality service without being limited by the number of TV users simultaneously online. However, the radio resources allocated in a cell are limited. To achieve this requirement, Especially in large-scale performances that enhance video applications, live broadcasts such as competitions, or waiting rooms, subway stations and other large audiences to watch video programs and other scenarios, for the resource demand surged in a certain period of time, balance the effective utilization of resources with current resource allocation. The method is more difficult to achieve. If the emergency communication vehicle is temporarily called or long-term standby in order to cope with this problem, the equipment such as the small base station is obviously not practical.

At present, the resource allocation of the cell is allocated by the Mobile Network Operation (MNO) at the beginning of the cell construction. According to the reference factors such as cell radius, base station processing capability and cell environment, it is divided into 20M bandwidth, 10M bandwidth, 5M. Bandwidth, 1.4M bandwidth. For the resource allocation of cells in the base station, carrier aggregation (CA) proposed by 3GPP 10 can be used at present, but this method can meet the requirements of single-user peak rate and system capacity improvement, and it is obvious for a large number of users to ensure the established service quality at the same time. It seems to be powerless. 3GPP proposed the concept of dual connectivity (DC) in R12, which is mainly applied to the scenario of small cell. In this scenario, the small cell is mainly responsible for user data transmission of the macro cell where the terminal is located. The application scenario is not practical. Adding a small base station is not only expensive, but also causes a large interference to affect the terminal experience when the number of small base stations increases, which is also undesirable for 5G.

That is to say, in the related art, during the period of the surge in resource demand of the terminal, the problem of low resource allocation efficiency caused by the quality of service in the stationary phase of resource demand can only be ensured by increasing the number of small base stations, and has not yet provided An effective solution.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the foregoing resource allocation method may be, but is not limited to, applied to different scenarios in which the resource requirements of the Mobile Network Operation (MNO) are pre-planned, wherein, in the above scenario, The quality of service (QOS) of each user must be guaranteed. For example, in the subway station during peak hours, a large number of user terminals will watch online multimedia programs through the mobile terminal while waiting for the subway in the subway. In order to ensure the QOS of each user terminal, it is necessary to make reasonable communication resources required by the user terminal. distribution. For example, in a large movie theater, each auditorium is equipped with a fixed terminal, and these users will realize interaction through the terminal, which will consume a large amount of resources in a short time, and thus need to rationalize the communication resources required by the terminal. distribution. The above is only an example, and is not limited in this embodiment.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the shared resource may obtain the available communication resource from the neighboring base station as a shared resource according to the pre-planned scenario requirement before the terminal sends the service request, or may perform the service request according to the service request after the terminal sends the service request. The requested service requirement acquires available communication resources from neighboring base stations as shared resources. In other words, in the embodiment, the shared resource may be acquired in advance according to a pre-planned scenario, for example, the shared resource required for the peak period of the commuting is obtained in advance, or after receiving the service request sent by the terminal, according to the If the resource to be allocated that includes the pre-acquired shared resource is allocated to the terminal, if the required shared resource exceeds the pre-acquired shared resource, the neighboring base station may continue to request the shared resource.

3) determining whether the triggering time of the predetermined event is reached, wherein, after the predetermined event arrives at the triggering time, the number of terminals that send the service request will be greater than or equal to a third predetermined threshold, wherein the terminal includes the first terminal.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the current base station may determine, by using the foregoing at least one manner, whether the resource to be allocated that includes the shared resource acquired by the neighboring base station needs to be allocated, or may be directly sent by the terminal for acquiring the content. The resources to be allocated of the above shared resources. This embodiment does not limit this.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the foregoing current base station may, but is not limited to, perform resource information interaction with the neighboring base station by using at least one of the following methods: interacting with the neighboring base station through a predetermined logical interface (X2 interface), and managing the network element by using the base station Interact with neighboring base stations. The base station management network element is used to assist the base station to further analyze and process the interacted content to reduce the processing load of the base station. Optionally, in this embodiment, the foregoing resource information may include, but is not limited to, information about available communication resources of each neighboring base station, for example, a communication resource available state.

For example, if the current base station is the base station A, the base station A determines that the current idle resource of the base station does not meet the requirement of the service requested by the terminal (for example, the current base station has the radio resource utilization rate up to To a predetermined threshold, the base station A is triggered to exchange resource information with the neighboring base station through the X2 interface (or through the base station management network element). It is assumed that the base station A acquires available communication resources from each neighboring base station through the X2 interface. If the base station A acquires the shared resource from the most resource-rich base station B, the base station B can lend the available communication resources to the base station A as a shared resource, so that the base station A will The to-be-allocated resource including the shared resource is allocated to the first terminal to perform the corresponding service.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the current base station may obtain, but is not limited to, acquiring shared resources by using the following steps:

S1. Send a resource sharing request to a neighboring base station set, where the resource sharing request is used to obtain a communication resource available state of each neighboring base station in the neighboring base station set.

S2. Acquire indication information that is sent by the neighboring base station to indicate an available state of the communication resource.

That is, the current base station needs to first send a resource sharing request to the neighboring base station set to obtain the available state of the communication resources of each neighboring base station, and each neighboring base station can use the redundant available communication resources while ensuring its own service requirements. Borrow to the current base station as a shared resource. Further, the current base station may send a shared resource acquisition request to the target neighboring base station that provides the shared resource. It should be noted that, when the current base station interacts with the neighboring base station through the predetermined logical interface, the available state of the communication resources of each neighboring base station in the neighboring base station set may be sequentially acquired by the polling manner, thereby implementing the current base station. And selecting, according to the obtained communication resource availability status of each neighboring base station, a target neighboring base station that provides the shared resource. When the current base station interacts with the neighboring base station through the base station management network element, the base station management network element can simultaneously acquire the available resource status of each neighboring base station in the neighboring base station set, so that the base station management network element obtains the obtained a communication resource available state of each neighboring base station, selecting a target neighboring base station that provides the shared resource, and then notifying the target neighboring base station to the current Base station.

For example, it is assumed that the available communication resource list includes: the base station B, corresponding to the available communication resource 20M; the base station C, corresponding to the available communication resource 10M; and the base station D, corresponding to the available communication resource 5M, the current base station (ie, the base station A) can firstly access the resource. The rich base station B sends a shared resource acquisition request. If the base station B receives the reject sharing response message, it can send a shared resource acquisition request to the second rich base station C in sequence, and so on. In addition, if the priority of the base station C is higher than the priority of the base station B, the shared resource acquisition request may be first sent to the second rich base station C, and if the reject sharing response message sent by the base station C is received, the richest one may be further The base station B sends a shared resource acquisition request.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the priority order is higher than the order of the communication resource size, and the current base station may first send the shared resource acquisition request according to the priority order, for the case that there is no priority requirement, or belongs to the same level of priority. The base station can continue to refer to the size of the available communication resources to send a shared resource acquisition request.

Optionally, in this embodiment, for a terminal in need, such as an edge user terminal to avoid frequent handover, or the capability of the current base station (ie, base station A) is limited, and the resources cannot be effectively scheduled, the user terminal may pass through the base station A. Multiple connections are made and scheduled by neighboring base stations that provide shared resources. Whether the user terminal performs multiple connections may depend on the terminal capabilities. It should be noted that the foregoing multiple connections may be pre-planned by the base station A before acquiring the shared resources to the neighboring base stations, or may be fed back to the base station A by the user terminal, for example, the user terminal sends a measurement report or indication information to the base station A to The base station initiates a multi-connection process.

Optionally, in this embodiment, after the current base station allocates the to-be-allocated resource on the current base station to the first terminal, the current base station determines that the current idle resource of the current base station satisfies the service. After the request for the requested service is sought, the resource to be allocated is released. The manner of releasing the to-be-allocated resource may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: releasing the to-be-allocated resource at one time, gradually releasing the to-be-allocated resource according to the requirement or priority order, and releasing the release of the to-be-allocated resource according to the neighboring base station. Request to release the resources to be allocated.

Specifically, the following example is used to illustrate that the current base station is the base station A, and the first terminal is the user terminal G. The user terminal G sends a service request to the base station A. After receiving the service request sent by the user terminal G, the base station A detects that the radio resource utilization (such as radio bearer (RB) utilization) reaches the first resource utilization gate. The limit value, if the first resource utilization threshold is set to 70%, triggers the base station A to send a resource sharing request to the neighboring base station set, for example, sends a resource sharing request through the X2 interface, to obtain the available resource availability status of each neighboring base station. It is assumed that the set of neighboring base stations includes: base station B, corresponding to available communication resources 20M; base station C, corresponding to available communication resources 10M; base station D, corresponding to available communication resources 5M. Then, the shared resource can be obtained first from the base station B with the richest resource. If the base station B rejects, the base station A acquires the shared resource from the second rich base station C. Further, if the available communication resources in the base station C cannot meet the requirements, the shared resources may be acquired from multiple base stations, such as continuing to acquire the shared resources from the base station D, in an effort to ensure that all terminals in the cell where the current base station (ie, the base station A) is located (including The user terminal G) simultaneously obtains the established QOS.

When the radio resource utilization rate of the base station A falls to the second resource utilization threshold, if the second resource utilization threshold is set to 50% and stabilizes for a predetermined time T, the base station A may select to gradually release the neighboring base stations. The X2 interface is connected. For example, the base station C is released first, and then the base station B is released. The priority of the radio resource utilization may be the base station A first, for example, 90% of the total resources, and other neighboring base station resources are supplemented, for example, 10% of the total resources.

With the embodiment provided by the present application, the current base station receives the service request sent by the first terminal; the current base station determines whether the current idle resource of the current base station meets the requirement of the service requested by the service request; if not, the current base station will be on the current base station. The to-be-allocated resource is allocated to the first terminal, where at least part of the resources to be allocated are shared resources acquired from the neighboring base station set of the current base station. That is, the current base station determines, according to the service request sent by the first terminal, whether to allocate at least part of the resources to be allocated resources of the shared resource acquired from the neighboring base station set of the current base station to the first terminal, so as to ensure the first terminal. Established quality of service without By configuring a large number of small base stations in the case of a surge in service requests, not only the cost of resource allocation is saved, but also the efficiency of resource allocation is greatly improved. Further, by acquiring the shared resources from the neighboring base stations, the idle resources of the neighboring base stations can be fully utilized, thereby avoiding the problem of resource waste, thereby achieving the effect of improving resource utilization.

As an optional solution, before the current base station receives the service request sent by the first terminal, the method further includes:

S1. The current base station acquires, in advance, a communication resource required by the first terminal to perform a service request, where the service is performed after the first terminal sends the service request.

S2. The current base station determines whether the idle resource of the current base station itself meets the communication resources required by the service.

S3. If not, the current base station requests the neighboring base stations in the set of neighboring base stations to acquire available communication resources of the neighboring base station;

S4. The current base station acquires available communication resources as a shared resource.

Optionally, in this embodiment, the current base station allocates the to-be-allocated resource on the current base station to the first terminal, where the current base station allocates the to-be-allocated resource that includes the shared resource to the first terminal.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, acquiring the shared resource from the neighboring base station of the current base station may be, but is not limited to, pre-acquiring before the terminal sends the service request according to the pre-planning. That is, since the current base station can know in advance some predetermined events that require a large amount of communication resources, for example, the peak hours of the commute, the current base station can acquire the shared resources from the neighboring base stations in advance before the trigger time of the predetermined event is reached. For example, if 10:00 is the peak time of the subway station, the current base station may request the neighboring base station of the current base station to acquire the available communication resources of the neighboring base station as the shared resource of the current base station, for example, obtaining the available communication from the base station B. The resource 10M is used as a shared resource, so that when a plurality of terminals including the first terminal send a service request, the current base station's own resources and the shared resources acquired at 9:50 can be collectively allocated as to be allocated. The resource is allocated to the terminal in the subway station that includes the first terminal.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the foregoing neighboring base station may, but is not limited to, share the redundant available communication resources as shared resources to the current base station according to its own needs. That is, if The neighboring base station does not occupy part of the idle resources, but for other applications, the shared resource acquisition request sent by the current base station may also be rejected, so that the current base station acquires the shared resources to other neighboring base stations. Further, if the priority of the current base station is higher than that of the neighboring base station, the available communication resources of the neighboring base station need to be preferentially shared to the current base station for use. The neighboring base stations can make different choices according to the different priority relationships between the base stations, which is not limited in this embodiment.

With the embodiment provided by the present application, before acquiring the service request sent by the first terminal, the shared resource is obtained according to the pre-planning, so as to be pre-acquired from the neighboring base station after receiving the service request sent by the first terminal. The shared resource is allocated to the first terminal as the resource to be allocated, so that the current base station-wide terminal can guarantee the established service instruction in the case of a surge in service request. Further, it is also possible to avoid temporarily configuring a large number of small base stations, thereby achieving the purpose of improving resource allocation efficiency.

As an optional solution, the current base station allocates the to-be-allocated resources on the current base station to the first terminal, including:

S1. The current base station requests the neighboring base stations in the set of neighboring base stations to acquire available communication resources of the neighboring base station.

S2. The current base station acquires available communication resources as a shared resource.

S3. The current base station allocates the to-be-allocated resource including the shared resource to the first terminal.

Optionally, in this embodiment, after receiving the service request sent by the terminal, the current base station may obtain the available communication resource as a shared resource from the neighboring base station of the current base station to meet the requirement of the service request.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the current base station may also obtain the shared resource directly from the neighboring base station of the current base station when it is determined that the currently idle resource cannot meet the service requested by the terminal. That is to say, this embodiment can be directly applied to a scenario of temporarily acquiring a shared resource. For example, still taking the power of the subway station at the peak of 10:00, the current base station requests the neighboring base station of the current base station to acquire the 10M available communication resources of the neighboring base station as the shared resource of the current base station at 9:50, and further, at 10:00. Upon arrival, after the plurality of terminals including the first terminal send a service request, the current base station determines the current base station's own resources and 9:50 acquisition. When the foregoing shared resource still does not satisfy the service requested by the service request, the resource sharing request may be temporarily sent to the neighboring base station to acquire the shared resource. Therefore, the resources of the current base station itself, the shared resources acquired by the 9:50, and the shared resources that are acquired again are collectively allocated as the resources to be allocated to the terminal including the first terminal in the subway station.

With the embodiment provided by the present application, after receiving the service request sent by the first terminal, the shared resource may be temporarily acquired from the neighboring base station of the current base station according to the actual demand of the service requested by the service request sent by the first terminal, to satisfy In the case of a surge in service requests, current base station-wide terminals can guarantee established service commands. Further, it is also possible to avoid temporarily configuring a large number of small base stations, thereby achieving the purpose of improving resource allocation efficiency.

S206, the base station A acquires the target neighboring base station that provides the shared resource for the base station A in the neighboring base station set according to the obtained indication information, and assumes that the available resource resource availability status indicates that the base station B with the richest available communication resources is the target neighboring base station;

S208. The base station A sends a shared resource acquisition request to the base station B that is the target neighboring base station.

S210, the base station A acquires the available communication resources of the base station B as the shared resource, so as to allocate at least part of the resources to be allocated to the first terminal from the shared resource that is obtained from the neighboring base station set of the current base station.

Multiple connections are made and scheduled by neighboring base stations that provide shared resources. Whether the user terminal performs multiple connections may depend on the terminal capabilities. It should be noted that the foregoing multiple connections may be pre-planned by the base station A before acquiring the shared resources to the neighboring base stations, or may be fed back to the base station A by the user terminal, for example, the user terminal sends a measurement report to the base station A, so as to initiate multiple reports to the neighboring base stations.

Specifically combined with the following examples:

As an optional implementation manner, during the peak hours of the above work, a large number of users wait for the subway in the subway, and watch video programs such as news shows through portable terminal devices as an example.

With the increasing number of people entering the subway station, the radio resource utilization rate of the cell under the jurisdiction of the base station A of the subway station is gradually increased. When the threshold is reached, the triggering base station A initiates resource sharing to the neighboring base station through the X2 interface. The information inquiry message, in which the base station manages the network element to query, request, and the like, each base station triggers the event to trigger or periodically triggers the reporting of the available resources of each base station to the base station management network element. After receiving the resource sharing information inquiry message, the neighboring base stations B and C of the base station A feed back the available radio resources of the resources of the cell under the jurisdiction of the X2 interface, and the neighboring base station may also reject the inquiry. After receiving the feedback situation message, the base station A analyzes the availability of the neighboring base station radio resources, and generates a neighboring base station radio resource list. The base station A analyzes the required radio resource situation, and sends a resource request message to the neighboring base station in combination with the neighboring base station radio resource list, for example, first requests the resource from the base station B with the most available resources, and if the resource is still insufficient, requests the resource from the base station C with the second most resource. . The resource request message includes information about the number of requested resources and its terminal capabilities. The base station B receives the resource request of the base station A, and feeds back a resource request response message, where the response message includes information of a new resource. The base station B rejects the resource request of the base station A and feeds back the reject response message. After receiving the reject response message, the base station A sends a resource request message to the base station C. The base station A allocates the borrowed neighboring base station resources to the user terminal of the jurisdiction.

When the peak of the work is over, the base station A evaluates the radio resource utilization rate of the cell under the jurisdiction (preferred to use the resources of the original base station A) or borrows the radio resource utilization to gradually decrease and reaches the threshold I, triggering the base station A to gradually release the borrowed resources. Note: Base station A can measure before borrowing resources. The released borrowing resource may be released to the borrowing resource department of the base station B at one time, and may be gradually released. The release request sent by the base station A to the base station B includes the resource information to be released. The neighboring base station may also send release resource information to the base station A at any time according to the priority condition, and the base station A shall give priority to the resource release request of the neighboring base station.

As another optional implementation manner, in a large movie theater, each of the auditoriums is provided with a fixed terminal device, wherein the fixed terminal is used to enable the viewer to perform the second screen interaction through the fixed terminal.

The base station starts the counter. When the terminal enters the cell and establishes an RRC connection, the counter is incremented by one, and the RRC connection is released, and the counter is decremented by one. When the counter reaches the threshold B, the base station determines whether the secondary base station is connected: if the timer is otherwise started and finds a suitable secondary base station and adds, if the appropriate secondary base station is not found within the predetermined time, the process ends, and the terminal is avoided. Unnecessary battery consumption, otherwise the primary base station requests new resources from the secondary base station, wherein the request information includes information such as the number of resources to be requested. If yes, the resource request message is sent to the secondary base station to request a new resource, where the request information includes information such as the number of resources to be requested. After receiving the request, the secondary base station considers whether to accept the request according to factors such as its own receiving capability: if receiving, it feeds back a receiving consent message to the primary base station, where the feedback message includes new resource allocation information. If the timer is disabled, the timer is started, and the appropriate sub-base change is not found at the predetermined time, and the process is terminated. Otherwise, the resource request message requesting resource is sent to the secondary base station, where the request information includes information such as the number of resources to be requested.

When the video playback is nearing the end, the base station A evaluates the radio resource utilization of the cell under the jurisdiction (preferred to use the resources of the original base station A) or borrows the radio resource utilization to gradually decrease and reaches the threshold I, triggering the base station A to gradually release the borrowed resources. Note: Before the base station A releases the borrowed resources, it can measure the releasable borrowing resources. The borrowing resources of the base station B can be released and released gradually. The release request sent by the base station A to the base station B includes the resource information to be released.

Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course, by hardware, but in many cases, the former is A better implementation. Based on such understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, which is essential or contributes to the related art, may be embodied in the form of a software product stored in a storage medium (eg, ROM/RAM, disk, CD-ROM includes a number of instructions for causing a terminal device (which may be a cell phone, a computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to perform the methods described in various embodiments of the present invention.
