RADIO UNIT SHARING TECHNIQUES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17443768 titled 'RADIO UNIT SHARING TECHNIQUES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that enable multiple operators to share spectrum using shared radio units (RUs). These RUs allow different operators to access the same RU for communication with user equipment (UE).

  • Multiple operators can share spectrum using shared radio units (RUs).
  • RUs receive resource requests from network nodes of different operators for wireless resources in a specific time period.
  • The RU determines resource allocation based on the priorities of the different operators.
  • Higher priority is given to the first network operator over the second or third network operator.
  • The RU transmits the resource allocation to the network nodes that requested resources.

Potential Applications

This technology has potential applications in various industries and scenarios, including:

  • Mobile network operators sharing spectrum resources in densely populated areas.
  • Enabling efficient spectrum utilization in areas with limited available frequencies.
  • Supporting seamless roaming and handover between different network operators.
  • Facilitating spectrum sharing in emergency situations or disaster response scenarios.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses several challenges and problems in wireless communications, such as:

  • Limited availability of spectrum resources, especially in densely populated areas.
  • Efficient allocation of spectrum resources among multiple network operators.
  • Prioritization of resource allocation based on operator priorities and requirements.
  • Seamless coordination and communication between different network operators.

Benefits

The use of shared radio units and the described methods offer several benefits, including:

  • Improved spectrum utilization by enabling multiple operators to share the same resources.
  • Enhanced network capacity and coverage in areas with high user demand.
  • Efficient allocation of resources based on operator priorities, ensuring fair access.
  • Seamless communication and coordination between different network operators.
  • Flexibility and adaptability to changing network conditions and operator requirements.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which multiple operators may perform spectrum sharing using shared radio units (RUs), where the multiple different operators can access a same RU for communications with a user equipment (UE). A shared RU may receive requests for resources from two or more network nodes of two or more different network operators, for wireless resources in a first time period. The RU may determine a first resource allocation for the first time period based on different priorities of the different network operators. A first network operator may have a higher priority than a second or third network operator, and resources may be allocated to the first network operator ahead of the second or third network operators. The RU may transmit the first resource allocation to each of the different network nodes that transmitted requests for resources.
