Method and system for managing radio resources in a time-slotted communication system

摘要

A method and system for managing radio resources in a time-slotted wireless communication system is based on the quality of service (QoS) information of a user. A plurality of time slots of a radio resource are sorted into a plurality of different categories, such as high QoS time slots, high capacity time slots, and balanced time slots. Each category is associated with a different level of QoS. QoS information with respect to a user is obtained in response to a radio resource request received from the user. The user is associated with a particular category of time slots based on the QoS information of the user.

1. A method of managing radio resources in a time-slotted wireless communication system, the method comprising:
(a) sorting a plurality of time slots of a radio resource into a plurality of different categories, each category being associated with a different level of quality of service (QoS), each time slot being assigned one of a plurality of designations based upon the QoS of a user, wherein at least one communication parameter is defined differently for each time slot designation, and the at least one communication parameter is dynamically adjusted by a radio resource management (RRM) function based on a state of traffic; (b) constantly monitoring the state of the traffic; (c) if traffic congestion occurs or the data rate for a particular time slot designation changes, dynamically adjusting the number of time slots assigned to each time slot designation; (d) if a handover is initiated and there are not enough resources in a desired target cell to which the handover is directed, freeing high capacity time slots and adjusting QoS requirements to avoid traffic congestion; and (e) if data packet scheduling is required, adjusting delay and jitter for scheduling the data packets based on time slot designation.
