METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCHEDULING AIR RESOURCE OF VIRTUAL DISTRIBUTED UNIT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231592 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCHEDULING AIR RESOURCE OF VIRTUAL DISTRIBUTED UNIT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a schedule coordinator that manages the scheduling of air resources in a wireless communication system for a virtual distributed unit (vDU). The coordinator selects a radio unit (RU) to be migrated to a target vDU from a group of RUs connected to a source vDU. It then requests the source vDU to transmit or receive first information, including synchronization information of user equipments (UEs) connected to the RU. The coordinator allocates dedicated air resources to both the source and target vDUs. Once the migration is complete, the coordinator instructs the target vDU to exclusively transmit or receive the first information and instructs the source vDU to stop transmitting or receiving the first information.

  • The patent application describes a system for coordinating the migration of a radio unit (RU) between virtual distributed units (vDUs) in a wireless communication system.
  • The schedule coordinator selects the RU to be migrated and requests the source vDU to transmit or receive first information, including synchronization information of connected user equipments (UEs).
  • Dedicated air resources are allocated to both the source and target vDUs to facilitate the migration process.
  • Once the migration is complete, the target vDU exclusively handles the transmission or reception of the first information, while the source vDU stops its transmission or reception.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to efficiently manage the migration of radio units between virtual distributed units.
  • It can be used in cellular networks to optimize resource allocation and improve overall system performance.

Problems Solved:

  • The schedule coordinator solves the problem of coordinating the migration of radio units between virtual distributed units in a wireless communication system.
  • It addresses the challenge of ensuring seamless transmission and reception of first information during the migration process.

Benefits:

  • The technology improves the efficiency and performance of wireless communication systems by effectively managing the migration of radio units.
  • It enables seamless transmission and reception of first information, ensuring uninterrupted communication during the migration process.
  • The allocation of dedicated air resources to the source and target vDUs optimizes resource utilization and enhances system capacity.


Original Abstract Submitted

A schedule coordinator schedules an air resource of a virtual distributed unit (vDU) in a wireless communication system. The schedule coordinator identifies a radio unit (RU) to be migrated to a target vDU, from among one or more RUs connected to a source vDU, requests the source vDU to exclusively transmit or receive first information including synchronization information of one or more user equipments (UEs) connected to the RU. The schedule coordinator allocates a source vDU-dedicated air resource to the source vDU, and allocates a target vDU-dedicated air resource to the target vDU. When a migration of the RU is completed, the schedule coordinator requests the target vDU to exclusively transmit or receive the first information, and requests the source vDU to stop transmitting or receiving the first information.
