US 2026/0281730 A1 · ALLOCATING RESOURCES IN A CELL

Abstract

Methods and apparatus are provided. In some examples, a method of allocating resources in a cell is provided. A first proportion of resources in the cell are allocated to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second proportion of the resources in the cell are allocated to a second RAT different to the first RAT, and the cell supports resource partitioning of resources of the first RAT for one or more groups of one or more networks, network slices or User Equipments (UEs). The method comprises determining, for individual groups, one or more respective proportions of the resources for the group based on the resource partitioning, and determining, for individual groups, one or more adjusted proportions of the 0 resources based on the one or more proportions of the resources for the group and the first proportion of the resources of the cell allocated to the first RAT. The method also comprises allocating the resources of the cell based on the one or more adjusted proportions of the resources of the cell for individual groups.

Dependent claims

A method of allocating resources in a cell, wherein a first proportion of resources in the cell are allocated to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second proportion of the resources in the cell are allocated to a second RAT different to the first RAT, and the cell supports resource partitioning of resources of the first RAT for one or more groups of one or more networks, network slices or User Equipments (UEs), the method comprising:

determining, for individual groups, one or more respective proportions of the resources for the group based on the resource partitioning;
determining, for individual groups, one or more adjusted proportions of the resources based on the determined one or more respective proportions of the resources for the group and the first proportion of the resources of the cell allocated to the first RAT;
and
allocating the resources of the cell based on the one or more adjusted proportions of the resources of the cell for individual groups.

Apparatus for allocating resources in a cell, wherein a first proportion of resources in the cell are allocated to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second proportion of the resources in the cell are allocated to a second RAT different to the first RAT, and the cell supports resource partitioning of resources of the first RAT for one or more groups of one or more networks, network slices or User Equipments (UEs), the apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processor such that the apparatus is operable to:

determine, for individual groups, one or more respective proportions of the resources for the group based on the resource partitioning;
determine, for individual groups, one or more adjusted proportions of the resources based on the determined one or more respective proportions of the resources for the group and the first proportion of the resources of the cell allocated to the first RAT;
and
allocate the resources of the cell based on the one or more adjusted proportions of the resources of the cell for individual groups.
