Method and arrangement for resource management

摘要

The invention relates to a method in a communication node (10,200,201,202,211,212,222) for commonly managing resources in a radio access network between different network access technologies, which communication node (10,200,201,202,211,212,222) is comprised in a radio access network of a radio communications network. The communication node receives (71) from a first local resource manager (111) of a first network access technology, a first report of information regarding resources needed per service associated with the first network access technology, which service is associated with a first local service priority. The communication node (10,200,201,202,211,212,222) then receives (72) from a second local resource manager (112) of a second network access technology, a second report of information regarding resources needed per service associated with the second network access technology. The service is associated with a second local service priority. The communication node ranks the service priority in the first report in relation to the service priority in the second report. The communication node generates an allocation scheme of resources, which allocation scheme allocates resources to at least one of the first or second local resource managers (111,112) based on the ranking of the service priorities.

1. A method in a communication node for commonly managing radio access network resources between different network access technologies, which communication node is comprised in a radio access network of a radio communications network, the method comprising:
receiving from a first local resource manager of a first network access technology, a first report of information indicating resources needed per a first service, which first service is associated with a first local service priority of the first network access technology, the first local resource manager managing the radio access network's use of at least one resource for the first network access technology; receiving from a second local resource manager of a second network access technology, a second report of information indicating resources needed per a second service, which second service is associated with a second local service priority of the second network access technology, the second local resource manager managing the radio access network's use of at least one resource for the second network access technology; ranking the first local service priority in relation to the second local service priority; and generating an allocation scheme of resources, which allocation scheme allocates resources to at least one of the first or second local resource managers based on the ranking of the service priorities.
