Herein below, some example embodiments are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description includes specific details for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of various concepts. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these concepts may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well known circuits, techniques and components are shown in block diagram form to avoid obscuring the described concepts and features.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a slice weight mechanism for radio resource allocation. A radio resource allocation with improved stability and precision is achieved according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.
FIG. 1 shows a radio resource allocation system 100 in which example embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. A scheduler 110, a module 120 for performing a process to develop a slice weight for scheduling, and a module 130 for allocation counting are shown as example modules of the system 100. The scheduler 110, the module 120, and the module 130 for allocation counting may be located in the RAN.
Referring to the FIG. 1, the scheduler 110 may determine the radio resource allocation according to a slice weight for respective slice together with other constraints. Different kinds of schedulers may have different principles to use the slice weight, but generally a scheduler decides the radio resource allocation according to the slice weight, and generally the slice with a bigger weight may have a higher priority to be allocated radio resources. Thus the slice with a bigger weight (higher priority) can get more resources in a round of resource allocation process. The slice weight may be a non-negative value, and a zero value means the slice shall not be scheduled.
According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, to achieve stable and precise control of radio resource allocation over a measurement window for the slices, the module 120 may adjust the slice weight for respective slice in real-time and notify the module 110 when the slice weight changes. The slice weight may be a dynamic variable that can be updated by the module 120 based on a slicing control process. The slice-weight-based RAN slicing control process cooperatively works with the scheduler 110 but may be independent to the processes performed by the scheduler 110.
The module 130 for allocation counting may perform an actual radio resource allocation based on the allocation decision output from the scheduler 110. The actual radio resource allocation performed by the module 130 for allocation counting may be identical to the allocation decision output from the scheduler 110. Alternatively or additionally, the module 130 for allocation counting may perform the actual radio resource allocation further based on an uplink data traffic statistic, such that the actual radio resource allocation result may be different from the allocation decision output from the scheduler 110. The scheduler 110, the module 130, or both may be located in a centralized entity, in distributed entities, or be realized by cloud computing, etc.
The actual radio resource allocation result may be input as feedback to the module 120, and this process may be done in an iteration way to minimize the computational cost.
The volume of radio resource allocated for respective slice may be referred as to an allocation volume for the respective slice. The allocation volume may be a share allocated for the slice of a total radio resource, alternatively may be an amount of radio resources, e.g. physical resource blocks (PRBs) . To decide the slice weight, a quota target of the radio resource may be determined for respective slice. The quota target can either be statically assigned according to the demand of the slice tenant or be dynamically adjusted according to the user equipment (UE) status in the slice.
Ideally, the scheduler 110 will allocate the radio resource according to the slice weight, so the quota target of the radio resource, which may also be termed as a target allocation volume of resource, can be used as an initial value of the slice weight. W
s (0) may denote the initial (time = 0) slice weight for a slice s, and may be determined by the formula (1) :
Typically, the scheduler 110 may determine the radio resource allocation based on many factors, e.g. the number limitation of simultaneously-scheduled UEs, radio condition, buffer status of the UEs, beamforming condition, and UE’s limited transmitting power. However, a legitimate assumption is that the volume of radio resources allocated to the slice by the scheduler 110 is positively correlated with the slice weight of the slice in most cases.
Base on this assumption, an adaptive slicing control (ASC) process may be used to achieve the stable and precise radio resource allocation.
In order to achieve the stable and precise radio resource allocation, a control loop process based on feedbacks may be utilized. An improved proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controlling process as control loop may be used in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the radio resource for allocation may comprise time and frequency resource, or throughput.
FIG. 2 shows a radio resource allocation system 200 in which example embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Referring to the FIG. 2, Units 210, 220, 230, 240, and 250 may be included in the module 120, a unit 260 may function as the scheduler 110 and the module 130 for allocation counting.
In the unit 210, the module 120 may calculate a current deviation of a current allocation volume from a target allocation volume for respective at least one slice. A slice s may represent any one slice of the respective at least one slice. In an embodiment, for the slice s, at a current time t, the current deviation E
s (t) of the current allocation volume
from the target allocation volume
is calculated as the formula (2) :
The target allocation volume may be a constant
or may change with the time based on demands, and the target allocation volume at the current time t may be denoted as
The current allocation volume
may be output from the unit 260 for scheduling and allocation counting. The current deviation E
s (t) may also be termed as a current control error.
A changing value of the slice weight at the time t for the slice s may be denoted as ΔW
s (t) . The changing value ΔW
s (t) may be function of the current deviation E
s (t) , which may be denoted as the formula (3) :
ΔW
s (t) =f (E
s (t) ) (3)
In the units 220, 230, and 240, the module 120 may calculate proportional term E
s (t) , integral term
and derivative term E
s (t) -E
s (t-1) , respectively. The E
s (t-1) is a previous deviation at time t-1. The
is an exponential moving average (EMA) item and may be calculated as the formula (4) :
where τ is a length of an averaging time window.
Thus the
may represent an accumulated deviation. The previous deviation and the accumulated deviation may embody and be included in historical deviations.
The proportional term E
s (t) , integral term
and derivative term E
s (t) -E
s (t-1) have corresponding neural network coefficients denoted as K
s, 1, K
s, 2, K
s, 3, respectively. The module 120 may calculate a learning rate and a gradient of a cost function of respective neural network coefficients by backpropagation for the respective at least one slice, and update the respective neural network coefficients based on the learning rate and the gradient for the respective at least one slice, e.g., the slice s, which will be described later.
Then, the module 120 may calculate the slice weight based on the current deviation, the historical deviations, and the updated neural network coefficients. For example, the module 120 may calculate the changing value ΔW
s (t) by the formula (6) :
where K
s, 1, K
s, 2, K
s, 3 are the neural network coefficients of proportional, integral, and derivative terms, respectively.
The changing value ΔW
s (t) may be the input to the unit 250. In the unit 250, the module 120 may calculate the slice weight based on the changing value for the respective at least one slice. For example, for the slice s, the module 120 may calculate the slice weight by the formula (7) :
W
s (t) =W
s (t-1) +ΔW
s (t) (7)
where the W
s (t-1) is previous slice weight at time t-1, and W
s (t) is the calculated slice weight at time t.
Then, the module 120 may apply the calculated slice weight for the respective at least one slice to the scheduler 110 to determine a next allocation volume for the respective at least one slice. The next actual allocation volume output from the unit 260 may be measured and input to the unit 210 for the next loop. The determined next allocation volume may be iteratively used as the current allocation volume after a period starting from calculating the current deviation. In this case, the module 120 may calculate the slice weight per the pre-defined period. The period may be, e.g., predefined or configured dynamically. The predefined period may be, for example, a time slot.
Thus, the module 120 continuously calculates the deviation value as the difference between the target volume and the measured allocation volume and applies a correction based on the proportional, integral, and derivative terms. In the improved PID controlling process, the neural network coefficients K
s, 1, K
s, 2, K
s, 3 are tuned in order to make the PID controlling process work properly and minimize the converging time, which will be described with respect to the following embodiments.
FIG. 3 shows a radio resource allocation system 300 in which example embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Referring to the FIG. 3, Units 310, 312, 320, 322, 324, and 330 may be included in the module 120, a unit 340 may function as the scheduler 110 and the module 130 for allocation counting. The radio resource allocation system 300 may be implemented as another form of the radio resource allocation system 200. In the radio resource allocation system 300, the module 120 may be implemented as a PID neural network. The units 310, 312, 320, 322, 324, and 330 may be neurons. The improved PID controlling process may constantly learn from the recent deviations and be adaptive to different radio environments and configurations.
In the description with respect to the FIG. 3, it is assumed that the improved PID controlling process is for the slice s, and thus label “s” may be omitted. And
and
are the input and output of the ith node in the lth layer respectively.
The input layer, which may be denoted as 1
st layer or layer 1, includes units 310 and 312, and the status transfer function of the input layer may be determined as the formulae (8) and (9):
In the layer 1, the module 120 may calculating the current deviation of the current allocation volume from the target allocation volume.
The hidden layer, which may be denoted as 2
nd layer or layer 2, includes units 320, 322 and 324. In order to simplify the computation, the neural network weight between the input layer and the hidden layer may be fixed to (1, -1) , so the status transfer function of the hidden layer may be determined as the formulae (10) and (11) :
The
is the current deviation. The
is be the previous deviation such that the
reflect the previous deviation. The
may be the accumulated deviation calculated based on EMA. w
1, w
2, and w
3 are the neural network coefficients of terms
and
respectively. The w
1, w
2, and w
3 may be updated by the module 120. The previous deviation and the accumulated deviation may embody and be included in the historical deviations.
Thus, the module 120 may calculate the slice weight based on the current deviation, the historical deviations and the updated neural network coefficients in an output layer.
The output layer, which may be denoted as 3
rd layer or layer 3, includes unit 330. The status transfer function of the output layer may be determined as the formula (12) :
The input
to the unit 330 may be the changing value, and in the unit 330, the module 120 may calculate the slice weight based on the changing value. The
may be the calculated slice weight W
s (t) .
Then, the module 120 may apply the calculated slice weight for the slice s to the scheduler 110 to determine a next allocation volume for the respective at least one slice. The next actual allocation volume output from the unit 340 may be measured and input to the unit 312 for the next loop. The determined next allocation volume may be iteratively used as the current allocation volume after a period starting from calculating the current deviation. The period may be, e.g., predefined or configured dynamically.
The neural network coefficients w
1, w
2, and w
3 may correspond to the the neural network coefficients K
s, 1, K
s, 2, and K
s, 3, respectively. The module 120 may calculate a learning rate and a gradient of a cost function of respective neural network coefficients by backpropagation for the respective at least one slice and update the respective neural network coefficients based on the learning rate and the gradient for the respective at least one slice, e.g., the slice s. In an embodiment, the cost function may be defined by the current deviation and a previous value of the cost function of the respective at least one slice. In an embodiment, the module 120 may update the respective neural network coefficients by, for example, gradient descent.
In order to avoid the impact of long-term accumulation deviation, the cost function may be defined based on EMA. For example, the cost function at time t may be the denoted as the formula (13) :
where τ is the length of the averaging time window.
The initial value of J
s (t) at time 0 may be calculated as the formula (14) :
Based on the backpropagation, the gradient descent may be used for updating the neural network coefficients to minimize the cost function. In this case, the module 120 may update the respective neural network coefficients by gradient descent based on the learning rate and the gradient. For example, the neural network coefficient, which may be referred to as weight w
j, may be updated based on the formula (15) :
where j is the index of the connection of the neurons in the layer, for example, w
1, w
2, and w
3 in the layer 2, η
j is the learning rate, and
is the gradient of the cost function J with respect to the neural network coefficients which may be referred to as weights w
j.
The gradient of the cost function of respective neural network coefficients may be calculated by backpropagation For example, according to the neural network above, the gradient of cost function may be denoted as the formula (16) :
where s is the index of the slice.
The differential items in the formula (16) can be derived as the formulae (17) to (20) :
Because there is no precise knowledge about the scheduler 110 in a working RAN system, the differential item
cannot be defined accurately. At least one derivative for calculating the gradient of the cost function may be embodied as a sign function and/or a Heaviside step function. The sign function may be, for example, the function sgn () in the above formulae, and it may be appreciated that the Heaviside step function may also apply to derive differential items in the formula (16) . The sign function and/or the Heaviside step function are good enough to generate an estimation. Such embodiment can also be applied to
to avoid 0 as denominator issue.
FIG. 4 shows a radio resource allocation system 400 in which example embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Referring to the FIG. 4, there are a plurality of slices labeled as 0, 1, …, s, which correspond to target allocation volumes
and allocation volume
respectively. The units 411 and 412, the units 413 and 414, and the units 415 and 416 may be similar to the units 310 and 312, respectively. The units 421, 422 and 423, the units 424, 425 and 426, and the units 427, 428 and 429 may be similar to the units 320, 322 and 324, respectively. The unit 431, the unit 433, and the unit 435 may be similar to the unit 330. So repetitive descriptions thereof may be omitted. Referring to the FIG. 4, Units 411 to 416, 421 to 429, 431, 433, 435, 441, 443, and 445 may be included in the module 120, a unit 450 may function as the scheduler 110 and the module 130 for allocation counting. It may be appreciated that the module 120 may include further units not shown for the slices other than the slices 0, 1, s.
In an embodiment, the module 120 may perform a step to develop a comprehensive slice weight for a plurality of slices. For example, the module 120 may integrate the calculated slice weight for each of the respective at least one slice based on a plurality of calculated slice weights for the plurality of slices. Compared to the neural network shown in the FIG. 3, the neural network shown in the FIG. 4 include an extra layer 4 to integrate the slice weights. Referring to the FIG. 4, the layer 4 includes units 441, 443, and 445. In an embodiment, because the scheduler 110 uses the slice weight as a relative value among the plurality of slices, to limit the value of the slice weight in a reasonable range by normalization may avoid overflow.
In a case where the module 120 perform the integration for the plurality of slice weights by way of, for example, normalization or weighted normalization, the status transfer function of the layer 4 may be determined as the formulae (21) and (22) in case of normalization:
Or as the formulae (23) and (24) in case of weighted normalization, where k
s is the weight factor for different slices:
The
represent the integrated calculated slice weight for the slice n. The module 120 may apply the integrated calculated slice weight for the respective at least one slice to the scheduler 110 to determine a next allocation volume for the respective at least one slice. The next actual allocation volume output from the unit 450 may be measured and input to the units 412, 414, and 416 for the next loop, respectively. The determined next allocation volume may be iteratively used as the current allocation volume after a period starting from calculating the current deviation.
The gradient of cost function may be denoted as the formulae (25) :
Comparing to the formula (16) , the additional differential items in the formula (25) can be extended as the formulae (26) and (27) :
The gradient may be may be denoted as the formula (28) :
