Abstract
A method, a user terminal and a network side equipment for improving network resource occupation are disclosed. A dormancy timer is set for the user terminal and a time threshold of the dormancy timer is adjusted dynamically by monitoring a resource occupation rate of the communication system, where time threshold of the dormancy timer is inversely proportional to the resource occupation rate. In this way, relatively longer time threshold of the dormancy timer may be set when a system occupation rate is low, so as to improve user experience; and relatively shorter time threshold of the dormancy timer may be set when the system occupation rate is high, so as to provide a higher capacity and provide services for more user terminals.
Claims29
A method for improving network resource occupancy in a communication system, comprising:
- obtaining, by a network side equipment of the communication system, a resource occupation rate of the communication system;
- and
- setting, by the network side equipment, a time threshold of a dormancy timer for a user terminal according to the resource occupation rate, wherein the dormancy timer starts when there is no data transmission between the user terminal and the network side equipment, and expires when it reaches the time threshold, and the time threshold of the dormancy timer decreases as the resource occupation rate increases;
- and
- when the dormancy timer expires, releasing, by the network side equipment, a connection with the user terminal.
A network side equipment of a communication system, comprising a receiver, a transmitter, a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- obtain a resource occupation rate of the communication system;
- set a time threshold of a dormancy timer for a user terminal according to the resource occupation rate, wherein the dormancy timer starts when there is no data transmission between the user terminal and the network side equipment, and expires when it reaches the time threshold, and the time threshold of the dormancy timer decreases as the resource occupation rate increases;
- and
- when the dormancy timer expires, release a connection with the user terminal.
A user terminal in communication with a network side equipment in a communication system, comprising:
- a receiver, configured to receive from the network side equipment a time threshold reset command;
- and
- a processor, configured to set a time threshold of a dormancy timer according to the time threshold reset command and release a connection with the network side equipment when the dormancy timer expires;
- wherein the dormancy timer starts when there is no data transmission between the user terminal and the network side equipment, and expires when it reaches the time threshold;
- and
- wherein the time threshold of the dormancy timer corresponds to a resource occupation rate of the communication system and decreases as the resource occupation rate increases.
A system for improving network resource occupancy in a communication system, comprising:
- a network side equipment;
- and
- a user terminal, wherein
- the network side equipment is configured to obtain a resource occupation rate of the communication system, and send a time threshold reset command to the user terminal according to the resource occupation rate;
- and
- the user terminal is configured to receive the time threshold reset command from the network side equipment, set a time threshold of a dormancy timer for the user terminal according to the time threshold reset command, and release a connection with the network side equipment when the dormancy timer expires;
- and
- wherein the dormancy timer starts when there is no data transmission between the user terminal and the network side equipment, and expires when it reaches the time threshold, and the time threshold of the dormancy timer decreases as the resource occupation rate increases.
