AUTHORIZING TRANSMISSION OF RESOURCE UTILIZATION MESSAGES

摘要

An authorization scheme limits the number of nodes that send out resource utilization messages. Here, a first node may determine whether a second node is allowed to transmit a resource utilization message, and send a message to the second node indicative of this determination. The second node may then determine whether to send out a resource utilization message based on the message from the first node and the quality of service associated with receive traffic at the second node. In some aspects, a node that is allowed to transmit a RUM may be identified based on whether the node is expected to be scheduled to use a given resource.
