Abstract
A computing apparatus for allocating sounding resources in an access node of a wireless network. The computing apparatus comprises a processor configured to determine a first device state based on a device state model and first device information, wherein the first device state model includes a finite number of states. The processor is configured to determine a first target sounding configuration for the first device information based on the first device state, and output the first target sounding configuration.
Claims17
A computing apparatus for use in an access node, the computing apparatus comprising:
- processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the processor and storing programming instructions which, when executed by the processor, instruct the processor to:
- determine a first device state based on a device state model and first device information, wherein the device state model comprises a finite number of states,
- determine a first target sounding configuration for the first device information based on the first device state,
- output the first target sounding configuration,
- determine a second device state based on the device state model and a second device information,
- determine a second target sounding configuration, wherein the second target sounding configuration comprises fewer sounding resources than a current sounding configuration of the second device information, and
- when available sounding resources for a cell are insufficient to support the first target sounding configuration, output the second target sounding configuration to increase the available sounding resources in the cell.
A method implemented by a computing apparatus for allocating sounding resources, the method comprising:
- determining, by the computing apparatus, a first device state based on a device state model and first device information, wherein the first device state model comprises a finite number of states;
- determining, by the computing apparatus, a first target sounding configuration for the first device information based on the first device state;
- outputting, by the computing apparatus, the first target sounding configuration;
- determining, by the computing apparatus, a second device state based on the device state model and a second device information;
- determining, by the computing apparatus, a second target sounding configuration, wherein the second target sounding configuration comprises fewer sounding resources than a current sounding configuration of the second device information;
- and
- when available sounding resources for a cell are insufficient to support the first target sounding configuration, outputting, by the computing apparatus, the second target sounding configuration to increase the available sounding resources in the cell.
