Abstract
Provided are a flow control method and device, a CU and a DU. The method includes: receiving a flow control state message transmitted by a second network element connected to a first network element through a fronthaul interface; where the flow control state message carries flow control state information for identifying a flow control state of the second network element, and where the first network element and the second network element have different functions, and performing a flow control processing according to the flow control state information and interacting the flow control state of the second network element. Further provided is a computer storage medium.
Claims16
A method, comprising:
- transmitting, by a first network element, an instruction to a second network element connected to the first network element through a fronthaul interface, the instruction configured to request the second network element to report a flow control state;
- receiving, by the first network element from the second network element, a flow control state message including flow control state information, the flow control state information including a desired buffer size of a radio bearer (RB) of the second network element;
- and
- performing, by the first network element according to the flow control state information, a flow control processing.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a transmission device, the transmission device configured to:
- transmit an instruction to a network element connected to the apparatus through a fronthaul interface, the instruction configured to request the network element to report a flow control state;
- receive, from the network element, a flow control state message including flow control state information, wherein the flow control state information includes a desired buffer size of a radio bearer (RB) of the second network element;
- and
- a processor, the processor configured to:
- perform, according to the flow control state information, a flow control processing.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a second network element, an instruction transmitted by a first network element connected to the second network element through a fronthaul interface, the instruction configured to request the second network element to report a flow control state;
- transmitting, by the second network element to the first network element, a flow control state message including flow control state information, thereby causing the first network element to perform, according to the flow control state information, a flow control processing, wherein the flow control state information includes a desired buffer size of a radio bearer (RB) of the second network element.
