ADAPTIVE PROCESSING ENVELOPE BASED ON POWER CONSUMPTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17877773 titled 'ADAPTIVE PROCESSING ENVELOPE BASED ON POWER CONSUMPTION
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The techniques described involve reconfiguring a resource envelope allocated to a distributed unit (DU) or a radio unit (RU) based on power consumption at the DU or the RU. A virtual radio access network (VRAN) manager, which can be a host platform for a VRAN, performs baseband pooling to allocate a resource envelope to a DU or an RU. After the initial allocation, the DU, the RU, or both can report the power consumed during signal processing for one or more dimensions of the resource envelope. The VRAN manager can then reconfigure the resource envelope for the DU or the RU based on the power consumption, aiming to minimize operating expenses (OPEX) or maximize utilization of the resource envelope.
- The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for reconfiguring a resource envelope in wireless communications based on power consumption at the DU or the RU.
- A VRAN manager performs baseband pooling to allocate a resource envelope to a DU or an RU.
- The DU, the RU, or both report power consumption during signal processing for one or more dimensions of the resource envelope.
- The VRAN manager reconfigures the resource envelope based on the power consumption to minimize OPEX or maximize utilization of the resource envelope.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication networks
- Virtual radio access networks
- Resource allocation in wireless systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient resource allocation in wireless networks
- Minimizing operating expenses
- Maximizing resource utilization
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved power consumption management
- Cost savings through optimized resource allocation
- Enhanced efficiency and performance of wireless networks
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for reconfiguring a resource envelope allocated to a distributed unit (DU) or a radio unit (RU) based on power consumption at the DU or the RU. A virtual radio access network (VRAN) manager (e.g., a host platform for a VRAN) may perform baseband pooling to allocate a resource envelope to a DU or an RU. After an initial allocation of a resource envelope to a DU or an RU, the DU, the RU, or both may report an amount of power consumed during signal processing for one or more dimensions of the resource envelope. The VRAN manager may then reconfigure a resource envelope for the DU or the RU based on the power consumption at these devices (e.g., to minimize operating expenses (OPEX) or maximize utilization of the resource envelope).
