Resource allocation for control channel

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a method of resource allocation. The method includes assigning resources intended for a control channel of a mobile network to multiple resource groups. At least one resource group may include multiple resources, where the resources have at least an associated periodicity and an associated delay tolerance. The assignment may be based on the delay tolerances of the resources. The method further includes determining a composite delay tolerance of the resource groups based on the corresponding delay tolerances of the resources in the resource group. The method further includes reserving resources associated with the control channel for the resource groups based on the composite delay tolerance of the resource groups. The method further includes establishing the control channel with a user equipment (UE), where the control channel is established using the reserved resources.

1. A method comprising:
identifying, by a base station, a plurality of resources intended for an uplink control channel of a mobile network, a resource comprising a type of message to be sent periodically to the base station by a user equipment (UE) of a plurality of UEs, each resource associated with a delay tolerance indicating how sensitive the UE is to delays in delivery of data packets and a period indicating how often the resource should be sent; assigning the plurality of resources to a plurality of resource groups based at least in part on the delay tolerances associated with the resources; determining a quantized period for a first resource group of the plurality of resource groups based at least in part on the periods associated with resources assigned to the first resource group; reserving resources associated with the control channel for the first resource group based at least in part on the quantized period determined for the first resource group.
