Methods and systems for allocating resources from component carriers to a public-safety mobile radio

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods and systems for allocating resources from component carriers to a public-safety mobile radio. An embodiment takes the form of a process that is carried out by carried out by a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Node B (eNodeB). The eNodeB makes a first determination to allocate resources to a given mobile radio. The eNodeB makes a second determination that the given mobile radio is a public-safety mobile radio. In response to making the first and second determinations, the eNodeB selects, based on one or more public-safety-communication criteria, a component carrier from among a plurality of component carriers managed by the eNodeB. The eNodeB allocates resources on the selected eNodeB component carrier to the given mobile radio.

主权项

1. A method carried out by a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Evolved Node B (eNodeB), the method comprising:
making a first determination to allocate resources to a given mobile radio; making a second determination that the given mobile radio is a public-safety mobile radio; in response to making the first and second determinations, selecting, based on one or more public-safety-communication criteria, a component carrier from among a plurality of component carriers managed by the eNodeB; and allocating resources on the selected eNodeB component carrier to the given mobile radio; receiving a mobile-radio-type message from a network entity communicatively connected to the eNodeB, the message comprising an indication that the network entity has determined that the given mobile radio is a public-safety mobile radio, wherein making the second determination comprises making the second determination based at least in part on the indication in the received mobile-radio-type message.
