ON-DEMAND RADIO COORDINATION IN A SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORK

摘要

A network includes network components configured to perform a method for on-demand radio coordination. The method includes determining a congested radio node in a plurality of radio nodes in the network in response to congestion information received from a network device. The method includes generating a cluster of radio nodes associated with the congested radio node. The method also includes optimizing radio resources of the radio nodes in the cluster to produce cluster optimization results configured to alleviate congestion of the congested radio node. The method further includes transmitting the cluster optimization results to the radio nodes in the cluster to alleviate the congestion.

1. A method in a network component for providing radio access network (RAN) coordination of network devices in a network, the method comprising:
determining, by the network component, a congested radio node in a plurality of radio nodes in the network in response to congestion information received from a network device; generating, by the network component, a cluster of radio nodes associated with the congested radio node; optimizing, by the network component, radio resources of the radio nodes in the cluster to produce cluster optimization results configured to alleviate congestion of the congested radio node; and transmitting, by the network component, the cluster optimization results to the radio nodes in the cluster to alleviate the congestion.
