Abstract
Apparatus, methods, computer program products, systems and circuits are provided that allow for persistent uplink and downlink resource allocations. A method includes: allocating resources to a user equipment for a data flow over a plurality of time intervals with a single signaling event at a wireless network radio network layer; and informing the user equipment of the allocated resources.
Claims37
A method comprising:
- allocating resources to a user equipment for a data flow over a plurality of time intervals with a single signaling event at a wireless network radio network layer;
- and
- informing the user equipment of the allocated resources.
A computer program product comprising program instructions embodied on a tangible computer-readable medium, execution of the program instructions resulting in operations comprising:
- allocating resources to a user equipment for a data flow over a plurality of time intervals with a single signaling event at a wireless network radio network layer;
- and
- informing the user equipment of the allocated resources.
A device comprising:
- a radio network layer component configured to allocate resources to a user equipment for a plurality of time intervals with a single signaling event;
- and
- a transmitter coupled to the radio network layer component, wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit information indicative of the allocated resources to the user equipment.
A system comprising:
- a user equipment;
- and
- a base station configured to:
- allocate resources to the user equipment for a plurality of time intervals with a single signaling event at a wireless network radio network layer;
- and inform the user equipment of the allocated resources.
A circuit comprising:
- a manager function configured to allocate resources to a user equipment for a plurality of time intervals with a single signaling event at a wireless network radio network layer.
A wireless network component comprising:
- a radio network layer comprising means for allocating persistent resources to a user equipment for a data flow;
- and
- a communication means between the radio network layer and a physical layer for informing the physical layer of the allocated persistent resources.
