Abstract
Systems and methods are described that facilitate the determination and request of resources a node may wish to reserve. The resources include a plurality of carriers that are shared with other nodes. In an approach, the node determines a condition related to the plurality of carriers; creates an ordering of the plurality of resources; and transmits a resource utilization message (RUM) for one or more of the plurality of resources based on the ordering and the condition.
Claims21
A method of wireless data communication comprising:
- receiving, by a node, at least one control message comprising a predetermined partitioning scheme for a plurality of resources, the predetermined partitioning scheme partitioning the resources into sets of resources and assigning each of the sets of resources to at least one of a plurality of traffic classes;
- determining, by the node, a quality of service at the node;
- comparing, by the node, the quality of service to a quality of service requirement;
- determining by the node, when the quality of service does not satisfy the quality of service requirement, one or more first resources on which to send a resource utilization message for a first traffic class, based on the first traffic class and the predetermined partitioning scheme;
- creating, by the node, a carrier mask identifying second resources that the node desires to be blocked;
- and
- transmitting by the node, on the one or more first resources, the resource utilization message including the carrier mask.

An apparatus for wireless data communication comprising:
- means for receiving, by a node, at least one control message comprising a predetermined partitioning scheme for a plurality of resources, the predetermined partitioning scheme partitioning the resources into sets of resources and assigning each of the sets of resources to at least one of a plurality of traffic classes;
- means for determining, by the node, a quality of service at the node;
- means for comparing, by the node, the quality of service to a quality of service requirement;
- means for determining by the node, when the quality of service does not satisfy the quality of service requirement, one or more first resources on which to send a resource utilization message, based on the traffic class of the resource utilization message and the predetermined partitioning scheme;
- means for creating, by the node, a carrier mask identifying second resources that the node desires to be blocked;
- and
- means for transmitting by the node, on the one or more first resources, the resource utilization message including the carrier mask.
4 more elements
A computer program product for wireless data communication comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code for wireless data communication, the program code comprising program instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a node, at least one control message comprising a predetermined partitioning scheme for a plurality of resources, the predetermined partitioning scheme partitioning the resources into sets of resources and assigning each of the sets of resources to at least one of a plurality of traffic classes;
- determining, by the node, a quality of service at the node;
- comparing, by the node, the quality of service to a quality of service requirement;
- determining by the node, when the quality of service does not satisfy the quality of service requirement, one or more first resources on which to send a resource utilization message for a first traffic class, based on the first traffic class and the predetermined partitioning scheme;
- creating, by the node, a carrier mask identifying second resources that the node desires to be blocked;
- and
- transmitting by the node, on the one or more first resources, the resource utilization message including the carrier mask.
