METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION NETWORK RADIO RESOURCES.

摘要

A method and apparatus for managing radio resources in one or more wireless communication networks. At least one radio resource manager (RRM) (106) is provided within a network node, or as an independent entity. The RRM (106) monitors performance on wireless communication links of the network(s) and interacts with nodes (102-1-102-n)associated with those links to change the configuration on a particular wireless communication link if its performance (i.e., quality) falls below an established threshold. Information regarding current resource usage of the network is sent to the RRM (106) by the nodes (102-1-102n). Each of the nodes (102-1102-n) may send a quality report to the RRM (106) including wireless communication link quality measurements and performance statistics.
