Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to resource solicitation for Fog-RAN
Methods, apparatuses, systems, etc., directed to resource solicitation for Fog Radio Access Network (RAN) are disclosed herein. For some embodiments, a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may receive a Fog-Resource Solicitation, for example included in a paging message, for joining a Fog Radio Access Network (RAN) platform (e.g., soliciting resources). The WTRU may accept or decline the Fog-Resource Solicitation, for example, based on any of the solicited resources and the WTRU status. In case the WTRU accepts the fog-Resource Solicitation, the WTRU may establish a connection to the RAN for indicating an acceptance of the Fog-Resource Solicitation. In case the WTRU declines the Fog-Resource Solicitation, the WTRU may ignore the Fog-Resource Solicitation or respond to the Fog-Resource Solicitation by establishing a connection to the RAN, indicating a declination of the solicitation. For some embodiments, a WTRU may trigger sending a RRC-Connection Release Request to e.g., terminate the WTRU's connection to the network. The WTRU may transmit an information indicating the reasons why the WTRU is disconnecting from the network.
1. A method comprising:
receiving by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), from a Radio Access Network (RAN), in a paging message, a request for a fog resource for performing a task by the WTRU, the request comprising information indicating any of an amount of resources, a task type, and a target location;
determining by the WTRU whether to provide the requested fog resource according to any of an availability of the amount of resources associated with the WTRU, a capability of the WTRU to execute the task type, and a location of the WTRU; and
transmitting, by the WTRU, a random access channel (RACH) transmission indicating a response to the request according to said determining.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the request for the fog resource is a Fog-Resource Solicitation.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the request for the fog resource comprises a paging record for a Fog-Resource Solicitation.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said requested fog resource is any of a computing resource, a networking resource and a storage resource.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determination to provide the requested fog resource is further according to any of a power level of the WTRU and a mobility state.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the RACH transmission comprises a preamble selected from a plurality of preambles.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of preambles comprises a first set of preambles corresponding to a positive response such that the RACH preamble is selected from the first set of preambles indicating the positive response to the request.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the WTRU is maneuvering to the target location in a case where the response is the positive response.
9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the plurality of preambles comprises a second set of preambles corresponding to a negative response such that the RACH preamble is selected from the second set of preambles indicating the negative response to the request.
10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the second set of preambles comprises a plurality of subsets corresponding to different reasons such that the RACH preamble is selected from a subset of the second set of preambles further indicating a reason for the negative response.
11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the reason for the negative response is any of a denied permission, a location availability, a resource availability and a power level.
12. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising a transmitter, a receiver, a processor and a memory, the WTRU being configured to:
receive, from a Radio Access Network (RAN), in a paging message, a request for a fog resource for performing a task by the WTRU, the request comprising information indicating any of an amount of resources, a task type, and a target location;
determine whether to provide the requested fog resource according to any of an availability of the amount of resources for performing the task by the WTRU, a capability of the WTRU to execute the task type, and a location of the WTRU; and
transmit a random access channel (RACH) transmission indicating a response to the request according to said determining.
13. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the request for the kg resource is a Fog-Resource Solicitation.
14. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the request for the kg resource comprises a paging record for a Fog-Resource Solicitation.
15. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein said requested fog resource is any of a computing resource, a networking resource and a storage resource.
16. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the determination to provide the requested fog resource is further according to any of a power level of the WTRU and a mobility state.
17. The WTRU of claim 12 , wherein the RACH transmission comprises a RACH preamble selected from a plurality of preambles.
18. The WTRU according to claim 17 , wherein the plurality of preambles comprises a first set of preambles corresponding to a positive response such that the RACH preamble is selected from the first set of preambles indicating the positive response to the request.
19. The WTRU according to claim 17 , wherein the plurality of preambles comprises a second set of preambles corresponding to a negative response such that the RACH preamble is selected from the second set of preambles indicating the negative response to the request.
20. The WTRU according to claim 19 , wherein the second set of preambles comprises a plurality of subsets corresponding to different reasons such that the RACH preamble is selected from a subset of the second set of preambles further indicating a reason for the negative response.
