Abstract
A system may receive base station configuration data associated with base stations, classify the base stations into morphologies based on the base station configuration data, identify resource utilization data associated with the base stations, generate resource allocation recommendations for the base stations based on the resource utilization data and the morphologies, and transmit the resource allocation recommendations for the base stations to permit the stations to allocate resources based on the resource allocation recommendations.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, base station configuration data associated with a plurality of base stations;
- classifying, by the processor, one or more base stations, of the plurality of base stations, into one or more morphologies based on the base station configuration data;
- identifying, by the processor, resource utilization data associated with the one or more base stations classified into the one or more morphologies,
- the resource utilization data comprising at least one of:
- a portion of base station resources allocated to unicast services;
- a portion of the base station resources allocated to multicast and broadcast services;
- or
- a portion of the base station resources allocated to services that are different from the unicast services and the multicast and broadcast services;
- generating, by the processor, one or more resource allocation recommendations for the one or more base stations classified into the one or more morphologies based on the resource utilization data and the one or more morphologies;
- and
- transmitting, by the processor, one or more of the resource allocation recommendations for the one or more base stations classified into the one or more morphologies to permit the one or more base stations to allocate resources based on at least one of the one or more resource allocation recommendations.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a classification of a plurality of base stations into one or more morphologies;
- receive resource utilization data associated with one or more base stations of the plurality of base stations;
- receive content transmission data associated with one or more content transmissions,
- the content transmission data identifying:
- a time period associated with a content transmission of the one or more content transmissions, and
- a bit rate associated with the content transmission;
- generate one or more resource allocation recommendations for the one or more base stations based on the resource utilization data, the content transmission data, and the one or more morphologies;
- and
- transmit at least one of the one or more resource allocation recommendations to permit the one or more base stations to allocate resources based on the at least one of the one or more resource allocation recommendations.
A system, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor to:
- receive a classification of a plurality of base stations into one or more morphologies;
- receive resource utilization data for one or more base stations, of the plurality of base stations, classified into a particular morphology of the one or more morphologies,
- the resource utilization data comprising a portion of base station resources allocated to one or more service types;
- calculate an average resource utilization for the one or more base stations classified into the particular morphology over a first time period,
- the average resource utilization comprising an average portion of the base station resources allocated to the one or more service types;
- forecast a predicted resource utilization for the one or more base stations classified into the particular morphology over a second time period,
- the second time period being associated with the first time period, and
- the predicted resource utilization comprising a portion of the base station resources predicted to be allocated to the one or more service types during the second time period;
- and
- transmit the predicted resource utilization to permit the one or more base stations classified into the particular morphology to allocate resources based on the predicted resource utilization.
