Abstract
A method performed by a base station includes generating a request for resource status information, sending the generated request to a neighboring base station, receiving one or more resource status update messages from the neighboring base station in response to the requested resource status information, and performing load balancing operations in dependence upon the received one or more resource status update messages.
Claims17
A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:
- sending, from the base station, to a neighboring base station, a resource status request message to initiate a resource status reporting procedure;
- and
- receiving, following initiation of the resource status reporting procedure, from the neighboring base station, a resource status update message,
- wherein the resource status update message is transmitted, by the neighboring base station, based on at least one parameter provided in the resource status request message, and
- wherein the resource status update message includes data identifying a physical resource block usage for guaranteed bit rate (GBR) traffic.
2 more elements
A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the base station, from a neighboring base station, a resource status request message to initiate a resource status reporting procedure;
- and
- sending, following initiation of the resource status reporting procedure, to the neighboring base station, a resource status update message, based on at least one parameter provided in the resource status request message,
- wherein the resource status update message includes data identifying a physical resource block usage for guaranteed bit rate (GBR) traffic.
1 more element
A base station, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- control the transceiver to send a resource status request message, from the base station, to a neighboring base station, to initiate a resource status reporting procedure;
- and
- control the transceiver to receive, following initiation of the resource status reporting procedure, from the neighboring base station, a resource status update message,
- wherein the resource status update message is transmitted, by the neighboring base station, based on at least one parameter provided in the resource status request message, and
- wherein the resource status update message includes data identifying a physical resource block usage for guaranteed bit rate (GBR) traffic.
6 more elements
A base station, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the controller is configured to:
- control the transceiver to receive, at the base station, from a neighboring base station, a resource status request message to initiate a resource status reporting procedure;
- and
- control the transceiver to send, following initiation of the resource status reporting procedure, to the neighboring base station, a resource status update message, based on at least one parameter provided in the resource status request message,
- wherein the resource status update message includes data identifying a physical resource block usage for guaranteed bit rate (GBR) traffic.
5 more elements
A base station, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit, from the base station, to a neighboring base station, a resource status request message to initiate a resource status reporting procedure, the transceiver being configured to receive, following initiation of the resource status reporting procedure, from the neighboring base station, a resource status update message,
- wherein the resource status update message is transmitted, by the neighboring base station, based on at least one parameter provided in the resource status request message, and
- wherein the resource status update message includes data identifying a physical resource block usage for guaranteed bit rate (GBR) traffic.
A base station, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive, at the base station, from a neighboring base station, a resource status request message to initiate a resource status reporting procedure,
- wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit, following initiation of the resource status reporting procedure, to the neighboring base station, a resource status update message, based on at least one parameter provided in the request message, and
- wherein the resource status update message includes data identifying a physical resource block usage for guaranteed bit rate (GBR) traffic.
