Abstract
A wireless access node detects contention among User Equipment (UEs) for wireless resources. The wireless access node prioritizes individual UEs based on the wireless network slices used by the individual UEs. The wireless access node allocates the wireless resources to the individual UEs based on the prioritization. The wireless access node wirelessly communicates between the wireless network slices and the UEs over the allocated wireless resources.
Claims20
A method to allocate wireless resources to User Equipment (UEs), the method comprising:
- detecting contention among the UEs for the wireless resources;
- prioritizing individual ones of the UEs based on wireless network slices used by the individual ones of the UEs;
- allocating the wireless resources to the individual ones of the UEs based on the prioritization;
- and
- wirelessly communicating between the wireless network slices and the individual ones of the UEs over the allocated wireless resources.
A method to allocate wireless resource blocks to wireless User Equipment (UEs), the method comprising:
- a Radio Resource Control (RRC) determining wireless network slices used by individual ones of the wireless UEs;
- a Media Access Control (MAC) detecting contention among the individual ones of the wireless UEs for the wireless resource blocks;
- the RRC indicating the wireless network slices used by the individual ones of the wireless UEs to the MAC;
- the MAC prioritizing the individual ones of the UEs based on the wireless network slices used by the individual ones of the UEs;
- and
- the MAC allocating the wireless resource blocks to the individual ones of the UEs based on the prioritization.
A wireless access node to allocate wireless resources to User Equipment (UEs), the wireless access node comprising:
- node circuitry to detect contention among the UEs for the wireless resources;
- the node circuitry to prioritize individual ones of the UEs based on wireless network slices used by the individual ones of the UEs;
- the node circuitry to allocate the wireless resources to the individual ones of the UEs based on the prioritization;
- and
- a radio to wirelessly communicate between the wireless network slices and the individual ones of the UEs over the allocated wireless resources.
