Abstract
Method for allocating resources (44) within a grid (40) of time and frequency for communication in a radio communications system under a first protocol, comprising determining an indication of a frequency resource range (43) to be allocated for data communication between a base station and a device within the first radio protocol; determining that a predetermined frequency resource (42) within said range is pre-allocated to communication under a second radio protocol; allocating a frequency resource (44) for the communication in the first radio protocol which overlaps and excludes said predetermined frequency resource for that data communication.
Claims18
A method for allocating resources within a grid of time and frequency for communication in a radio communications system under a first protocol, comprising
- determining an indication of a frequency resource range to be allocated for a first communication between a base station and a device within the first radio protocol;
- determining that a predetermined frequency resource within said range is pre-allocated to a second communication under a second radio protocol, wherein the first radio protocol and the second radio protocol co-exist;
- allocating, in response to determining that the predetermined frequency resource within said range is pre-allocated to the second communication under the second radio protocol, a frequency resource for the first communication in the first radio protocol which overlaps and excludes said predetermined frequency resource for the second communication, such that the allocated frequency resource for the first communication comprises a range of frequency resource units encompassing said predetermined frequency pre-allocated for the second communication, and has a frequency discontinuity corresponding to the predetermined frequency.
A scheduler device in a radio communications system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to carry out the steps of:
- determining an indication of a frequency resource range to be allocated for a first communication between a base station and a device within a first radio protocol;
- determining that a predetermined frequency resource within said range is pre-allocated to a second communication under a second radio protocol, wherein the first radio protocol and the second radio protocol co-exist;
- allocating, in response to determining that the predetermined frequency resource within said range is pre-allocated to the second communication under the second radio protocol, a frequency resource for the first communication in the first radio protocol which overlaps and excludes said predetermined frequency resource for the second communication, such that the allocated frequency resource for the first communication comprises a range of frequency resource units encompassing said predetermined frequency pre-allocated for the second communication, and has a frequency discontinuity corresponding to the predetermined frequency.
A method carried out in a device for controlling communication to a base station in a first radio protocol, using resources allocated within a grid of time and frequency, comprising
- receiving an indication of a frequency resource range allocated for a first communication under the first radio protocol;
- receiving an indication of a predetermined frequency resource within said range, which is pre-allocated to a second radio protocol, wherein the first radio protocol and the second radio protocol co-exist;
- determining, in response to receiving the indication of the predetermined frequency resource within said range which is pre-allocated to the second radio protocol, the allocated resources for the first communication in the first radio protocol, which overlaps and excludes said predetermined frequency resource for communication under the second radio protocol such that the allocated resources comprise a range of frequency resource units encompassing said predetermined frequency pre-allocated for the second radio protocol, and has a frequency discontinuity corresponding to the predetermined frequency, according to a predetermined rule.
