CONTROLLER, CONTROL CIRCUIT, AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18223902 titled 'CONTROLLER, CONTROL CIRCUIT, AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a controller that manages resources and connections in a wireless access network.

• Physical network information is obtained, including device resources and device connections.
• Physical path resource information is calculated based on the device resources and connections.
• Abstract path resource information is then calculated based on the physical path resource information.
• Correlation information between abstract paths is generated.
• The abstract path resource information and correlation information are stored in a resource pool.
• A temporary resource pool is used to temporarily store the abstract path resource information and correlation information.
• The controller determines if a slice meeting a slice request requirement can be generated.
• The temporary resource calculation unit updates information in the temporary resource pool.

Original Abstract Submitted

A controller includes a physical network information acquisition unit obtaining information about resource of a device and information about connection between devices in a wireless access network, a physical path calculation unit calculating physical path resource information based on the information about resource of the device and the information about connection between the devices, an abstract path resource calculation unit calculating abstract path resource information based on the physical path resource information, an abstract path correlation calculation unit generating correlation information between abstract paths, a resource pool storing the abstract path resource information and the correlation information, a temporary resource pool temporarily storing the abstract path resource information and the correlation information, an abstract resource allocation unit determining whether a slice meeting a requirement of a slice request can be generated, and a temporary resource calculation unit updating information in the temporary resource pool.
