Abstract
In a non-limiting and exemplary embodiment, a method is provided arranging control of multiple radio systems of a wireless communications device. A second scheduler performs proactive scheduling decisions on the basis of radio resource usage requirements of radio systems of the wireless communications terminal device and sending information on the proactive scheduling decision to a first scheduler. The first scheduler performs reactive scheduling decisions on the basis of the proactive scheduling decision information from the second scheduler.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first scheduler, and
- a second scheduler comprising a scheduling service controller comprising protocol software,
- wherein the first scheduler and the second scheduler are operatively connected,
- the second scheduler is configured to perform a proactive scheduling decision on a basis of radio access system protocol requirements from at least two radio systems of a wireless communications terminal device, the proactive scheduling decision being carried out by solving a radio system interoperability conflict using the scheduling service controller, and
- the first scheduler is configured to perform a reactive scheduling decision on a basis of information on the proactive scheduling decision from the second scheduler and on a basis of information from a radio access system device representing a baseband computation and low level control.
A method, comprising:
- performing, by a second scheduler for a wireless communications terminal device, a proactive scheduling decision on a basis of radio access system protocol requirements from at least two radio systems of the wireless communications terminal device, the proactive scheduling decision being carried out by solving a radio system interoperability conflict using a scheduling service controller, and
- sending information on the proactive scheduling decision to a first scheduler, and performing a reactive scheduling decision on a basis of the proactive scheduling decision information from the second scheduler and on a basis of information from a radio access system device representing a baseband computation and low level control.
An apparatus, comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured, with at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to:
- perform, by a second scheduler, a proactive scheduling decision on a basis of radio access system protocol requirements from at least two radio systems of the wireless communications terminal device, and
- perform, by a first scheduler, a reactive scheduling decision on a basis of information on the reactive scheduling decision from the radio access system protocol requirements.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, comprising one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of an apparatus, cause the apparatus to at least
- perform, by a second scheduler, a proactive scheduling decision on a basis of radio access system protocol requirements from at least two radio systems of a wireless communications terminal device,
- send information on the proactive scheduling decision to a first scheduler configured to perform a reactive scheduling decision on a basis of information on the proactive scheduling decision from the radio access system protocol requirements.
