Abstract

Methods and systems described herein relate to more optimally allocating and scheduling radio resources simultaneously in space, time and frequency to enhance user quality of experience (QoE) according to use context within the constraints of maximizing long term service provider revenue expectation for a given investment in radio access network infrastructure for improved radio resource management, such methods optionally including use of heat maps of user trajectories as a factor in a process for resource allocation.

Claims (36)

1. A system for allocating and scheduling radio resources simultaneously, based on a user context, comprising:

a radio resource control point facility associated with a network, enabled to:

track a location of a user device that is connected with the network,

track content of transmissions via the network to and from the user device,

mediate a process of ascribing value to a requested resource based on a bid from the user device,

generate a heat map of trajectories for the network, and

schedule network resources based on value ascription, user context, the heat map, and a Bayesian inference.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user device comprises a mobile user device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein tracking the content of transmissions comprises tracking the content of transmissions via a packet sniffer executing on the radio resource control point facility.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the heat map of trajectories comprises one of a heat map of user device trajectories and a heat map of radio resource trajectories.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the heat map of trajectories is a plurality of heat maps of trajectories.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the network is one of a wireless network, a wired network, and both a wireless and wired network.

7. A method for allocating and scheduling radio resources simultaneously, based on a user context, comprising:

providing a radio resource control point facility associated with a network;

tracking a location of a user device that is connected with the network;

tracking content of transmissions via the network to and from the user device;

mediating a process for ascribing value to a requested resource based on information from the user device;

generating a heat map of trajectories for the network; and

scheduling network resources based on the value ascription, the heat map, and a Bayesian inference.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the user device comprises a mobile user device.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein tracking the content of transmissions comprises tracking the content of transmissions via a packet sniffer executing on the radio resource control point facility.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the heat map of trajectories comprises one of a heat map of user device trajectories and a heat map of radio resource trajectories.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the heat map of trajectories is a plurality of heat maps of trajectories.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the network is one of a wireless network, a wired network, and both a wireless and wired network.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions, that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for allocating and scheduling radio resources simultaneously, based on a user context, the method comprising:

providing a radio resource control point facility associated with a network;

tracking a location of a user device that is connected with the network;

tracking content of transmissions via the network to and from the user device;

mediating a process for ascribing value to a requested resource based on information from the user device;

generating a heat map of trajectories for the network; and

scheduling network resources based on the value ascription, the heat map, and a Bayesian inference.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the user device comprises a mobile user device.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein tracking the content of transmissions comprises tracking the content of transmissions via a packet sniffer executing on the radio resource control point facility.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the heat map of trajectories comprises one of a heat map of user device trajectories and a heat map of radio resource trajectories.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the heat map of trajectories is a plurality of heat maps of trajectories.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the network is one of a wireless network, a wired network, and both a wireless and wired network.
