NETWORK PERFORMING DISTRIBUTED UNIT SCALING AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18066684 titled 'NETWORK PERFORMING DISTRIBUTED UNIT SCALING AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method of communication using a radio access network device, specifically a distributed unit (DU). Here are the key points:

  • The method involves obtaining information about resource usage of a first DU executed through a first server by a scaling controller.
  • The scaling controller then selects a second DU based on the information about the resource usage of the first DU.
  • The scaling controller also selects a second remote unit (RU) to migrate to the second DU from among at least one first RU processing a service of the first DU.
  • The first DU transmits information about the second RU to the second DU, while the remaining RUs continue to process the service of the first DU.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be applied in radio access networks to optimize resource usage and improve overall network performance.
  • It can be used in scenarios where there is a need to dynamically allocate resources based on the workload of different DUs and RUs.
  • The method can be implemented in 5G networks to enhance scalability and flexibility.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method addresses the challenge of efficiently managing resource allocation in a distributed radio access network.
  • It helps in balancing the workload across different DUs and RUs, ensuring optimal utilization of resources.
  • By migrating RUs to different DUs based on resource usage, it can prevent overloading of specific DUs and avoid network congestion.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved network performance and efficiency by dynamically allocating resources based on workload.
  • Enhanced scalability and flexibility in radio access networks.
  • Better utilization of resources, leading to cost savings and improved user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of communication by a radio access network device including a distributed unit (DU) may include obtaining information about resource usage of a first DU executed through a first server by a scaling controller, selecting a second DU based on the information about the resource usage of the first DU by the scaling controller, selecting a second RU to migrate to the second DU from among at least one first remote unit (RU) processing a service of the first DU by the scaling controller, and transmitting information about the second RU to the second DU by the first DU, wherein a remaining RU except for the second RU among the at least one first RU is configured to process the service of the first DU. Other various other embodiments are possible.
