METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR SUPPORTING CENTRALIZED RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (CRAN) SCALABILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17916257 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR SUPPORTING CENTRALIZED RADIO ACCESS NETWORK (CRAN) SCALABILITY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for improving the scalability of a centralized radio access network (CRAN).
- The network node is configured to schedule wireless devices based on a division of radio resources between multiple schedulers within the same cell.
- Each scheduler is assigned a specific radio resource partition.
- The network node receives information from the schedulers about the amount of radio resources they have scheduled.
- The network node then sends this information to a master scheduler.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Centralized radio access networks (CRAN)
- Wireless communication systems
- Mobile networks
Problems solved by this technology:
- Scalability issues in CRAN systems
- Efficient allocation of radio resources
- Improved coordination between multiple schedulers
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved scalability of CRAN systems
- Enhanced efficiency in resource allocation
- Better coordination and management of wireless devices
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatuses are provided for centralized radio access network (CRAN) scalability. In one embodiment, a network node includes processing circuitry configured to cause the network node to schedule at least one wireless device according to a radio resource partition, the radio resource partition representing a division of radio resources between at least two schedulers of a same cell, and each radio resource partition of the cell being assigned to a corresponding scheduler of the at least two schedulers; and receive, from at least one scheduler of the at least two schedulers, an indication of an amount of the radio resources that are scheduled by the at least one scheduler. In one embodiment, a network node includes processing circuitry configured to cause the network node to send, to a master scheduler, an indication of an amount of the radio resources that are scheduled by the network node.
