MANAGING RESOURCES IN A RADIO ACCESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18287324 titled 'MANAGING RESOURCES IN A RADIO ACCESS NETWORK

The abstract describes a method for managing resources in a Radio Access Network (RAN) of a communication network. The method involves predicting future resource usage based on historical data and using this information for resource management.

The method is performed by a first node in the RAN.
It involves obtaining a record of resource status information from a second node in the RAN.
Predictions are made about future resource usage based on the obtained record.
The predicted information can be used for managing RAN resources controlled by the first node or shared with a third node in the RAN.

Potential Applications: - Efficient resource management in communication networks. - Optimization of resource allocation in RANs. - Enhanced network performance and reliability.

Problems Solved: - Predicting future resource usage in RANs. - Improving resource management efficiency. - Enhancing overall network performance.

Original Abstract Submitted

A method is disclosed for managing resources in a Radio Access Network (RAN) of a communication network. The method, performed by a first node in the RAN, comprises obtaining a record of resource status information describing usage, during a historical time period, of RAN resources controlled by a second node in the RAN and predicting, based on the obtained record, resource status information describing usage of RAN resources controlled by the second node during a future time period. The method further comprises performing at least one of using the predicted resource status information describing usage of RAN resources controlled by the second node in a process relating to management of RAN resources controlled by the first node, or sending, to a third node in the RAN, a representation of the predicted resource status information describing usage of RAN resources controlled by the second node.
