Apparatus and method for controlling traffic flow in backhaul link in wireless communication network

摘要

A method, system, and apparatus for controlling traffic flow in one or more backhaul links in a wireless communication network is provided. Each backhaul link of the one or more backhaul links includes a backhaul uplink and a backhaul downlink. The method includes analyzing one or more backhaul uplinks and one or more backhaul downlinks between a controller and one or more Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs). The method further includes communicating one or more messages between the controller and the one or more BTSs. The one or more messages include analysis of one or more analysis of one of the one or more backhaul uplinks and the one or more backhaul downlinks. The method further includes controlling the traffic flow in at least one of the one or more backhaul uplinks and the one or more backhaul downlinks based on the one or more messages.

1. A method of communicating in a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
communicating at least one message between a controller and at least one Base Transceiver Station (BTS), the at least one message including at least one result of an analysis of at least one backhaul uplink or at least one backhaul downlink between the controller and the at least one BTS; and controlling traffic flow in at least one of the at least one backhaul uplink and the at least one backhaul downlink based on the at least one message, the at least one message being appended with information specific to at least one of the controller and the at least one BTS, wherein the information appended is a vendor specific Type/Length/Value (TLV) acting as a unique identifier for the at least one of the controller and the at least one BTS.
