Method for resource management within a wireless network and a wireless network

摘要

For allowing a very effective resource management and network utilization a method for resource management within a wireless network, especially EPS (Evolved Packet Core) of LTE (Long Term Evolution) network, is described, wherein a congestion control of data-traffic is performed. The method is characterized in that for congestion control a Re-ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) function will be used wherein the Re-ECN function includes a policing function and a dropping function. Further, a corresponding wireless network is described, preferably for carrying out the above mentioned method.

1. A method for resource management within a wireless network, comprising:
performing a congestion control of data traffic, wherein, for congestion control, a Re-ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) function is used wherein the Re-ECN function includes a policing function and a dropping function, wherein the policing function is divided in two distinct phases comprising a measurement phase and an enforcement phase, wherein, during the enforcement phase, the policing function signals a MAC scheduler operating at the base station or eNodeB to downgrade the service rate of the definable user, and wherein the used signaling is based on existing control messages conveyed from the gateway or P-GW to the base station or eNodeB.
