RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION NETWORK

摘要

The present disclosure introduces allocation of resources to one or more UEs based on a determined allocation priority and/or allocation probability in, e.g., Time Division Duplex (TDD) based radio communication networks. The disclosed technology provides the ability for a subframe to be configured as a “flexible” subframe, which can be dynamically allocated as either a downlink subframe or an uplink subframe. For each “flexible” subframe, an allocation priority and/or allocation probability is determined and subsequent resource allocation to user equipments (UEs) can be based on the determined allocation priority and/or allocation probability. Hereby, it is made possible to reduce interference in, e.g., TDD based radio communication networks.

主权项

1. A method performed by a radio network node, the method comprising:
determining a time division duplex, TDD, configuration, wherein the TDD configuration comprises one or more subframes preconfigured as downlink subframes, one or more subframes preconfigured as uplink subframes, and one or more flexible subframes each preconfigured to be dynamically allocated either as an uplink subframe or as a downlink subframe; determining, for each flexible subframe, an allocation priority and/or allocation probability of using the flexible subframe as an uplink subframe or as a downlink subframe; and allocating resources to at least one user equipment, UE, based on the determined allocation priority and/or allocation probability.
