US 10,375,703 B2 · Resource allocation apparatus, system and method

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a resource allocation apparatus. The apparatus includes: a determining unit, configured to determine a quantity of resource blocks required by user equipment that needs to perform uplink transmission, where a quantity of resource blocks required by first user equipment that needs to perform uplink transmission and a quantity of resource blocks required by second user equipment that needs to perform uplink transmission are both M. The apparatus also includes an allocation unit, configured to allocate a resource block in a first subgroup in a first resource group to the first user equipment and allocate a resource block in a second subgroup in the first resource group to the second user equipment, where the first resource group includes multiple subgroups including the first subgroup and the second subgroup, and each subgroup includes M resource blocks.

Dependent claims

An apparatus, comprising:

a processor;
and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be executed by the processor, the program including instructions for:
determining quantities of resource blocks required by a plurality of user equipment that need to perform uplink transmissions, wherein a first quantity of resource blocks required by a first user equipment to perform a first uplink transmission and a second quantity of resource blocks required by a second user equipment to perform a second uplink transmission are both M, and M is a positive integer;
selecting a first resource group from a plurality of resource groups, wherein a condition for the selection is that a subgroup in the selected first resource group comprises M resource blocks;
and
allocating M resource blocks in a first subgroup in the first resource group to the first user equipment, and allocating M resource blocks in a second subgroup in the first resource group to the second user equipment, wherein the first resource group comprises a first plurality of subgroups comprising the first subgroup and the second subgroup.

A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer instructions that are configured to, when executed by one or more processors of an apparatus, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

determining quantities of resource blocks required by a plurality of user equipment that need to perform uplink transmissions, wherein a first quantity of resource blocks required by a first user equipment to perform a first uplink transmission and a second quantity of resource blocks required by a second user equipment to perform a second uplink transmission are both M, and M is a positive integer;
selecting a first resource group from a plurality of resource groups, wherein a condition for the selection is that a subgroup in the first resource group comprises M resource blocks;
and
allocating M resource blocks in a first subgroup in the first resource group to the first user equipment, and allocating M resource blocks in a second subgroup in the first resource group to the second user equipment, wherein the first resource group comprises a first plurality of subgroups comprising the first subgroup and the second subgroup.
