Abstract

The present invention provides a resource management method and system thereof. The resource management method includes: judging whether the variation degree of work state of a communication system will result in the change of resource management information of the communication system or not, if so, then the resource management information is re-collected, wherein the resource management information includes the state, the interference state among links and service stream information relating to each node in the communication system; and determining the resource allocation strategy of the communication system according to the resource management information.

Claims (47)

1. A user equipment which used in a communication system, comprising:

circuitry configured to:

measure resource management information comprising at least one incumbent signal and at least one interference signal, and

report the measured resource management information,

wherein the resource management information includes information about a status of the communication system, and wherein the circuitry is further configured to

before measurement, receive measurement requests from a geo-location function device, and

after measurement, report to the geo-location function device.

2. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the resource management information includes a change of a variation degree of a communication system operation status.

3. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein nodes in the communication system which measure resource management information are configured to be chosen as a user equipment.

4. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the geo-location function device is configured to

use measurement results of resource management information obtained from a spectrum sensing device to estimate an interference level, and

considers the interference level estimation to calculate an allowable maximum output power level.

5. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

measure resource management information from a primary priority system and a primary user.

6. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

measure resource management information from a secondary priority system and a secondary user.

7. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

manage a coexistence function of a primary system network and at least one secondary system network based on measurements result of measured resource management information by a spectrum sensing device.

8. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement reports are sent along with geo-location information when making and/or sending the measurements.

9. The user equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to

process the measurements in the communication system in a neighborhood and access a channel quality due to a presence of other device or system in its neighborhood.

10. A method in a communication system, comprising:

measuring resource management information comprising at least one incumbent signal and at least one interference signal,

reporting the measured resource management information, wherein the resource management information includes information about a status of the communication system,

before the measuring, receiving measurement requests from a geo-location function device, and

after measuring, reporting to the geo-location function device.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the resource management information includes a change of a variation degree of a communication system operation status.

12. The method according to claim 10 , the method further comprising:

selecting nodes in the communication system which measure resource management information as a user equipment.

13. The method according to claim 10 , the method further comprising:

using measurement results of resource management information obtained from a spectrum sensing device to estimate an interference level, and

considering the interference level estimation to calculate an allowable maximum output power level.

14. The method according to claim 10 , the method further comprising:

measuring resource management information from a primary priority system and a primary user.

15. The method according to claim 10 , the method further comprising:

measuring resource management information from a secondary priority system and a secondary user.

16. The method according to claim 10 , the method further comprising:

managing a coexistence function of a primary system network and at least one secondary system network based on measurements result of measured resource management information by a spectrum sensing device.

17. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the measurement reports are sent along with geo-location information when making and/or sending the measurements.

18. The user equipment according to claim 10 , the method further comprising:

processing the measurements in the communication system in a neighborhood, and

accessing a channel quality due to a presence of other device or system in its neighborhood.

19. A wireless communication device, comprising:

circuitry configured to:

determine a measurement configuration including measuring resource management information, wherein measuring the resource management information comprises measuring signal strength from an incumbent source and an interference source over at least one given frequency resource; and

send the measurement configuration to another wireless communication device, wherein before determining the measurement configuration, the circuitry is configured to receive measurement requests from a geo-location function device, and

after measurement, report to the geo-location function device.
