Abstract

When an Internet of things application server determines, based on a service requirement and a service scenario, to start coordinated radio resource scheduling on a terminal, the Internet of things application server sends a coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request to a radio transceiver node, to request the radio transceiver node to perform coordinated radio resource scheduling on the terminal based on a requirement of the Internet of things application server, and after receiving the request, the radio transceiver node allocates a radio resource to the terminal at a higher priority or higher efficiency. If the terminal does not need to apply for the radio resource, the radio transceiver node actively allocates the radio resource to the terminal in order to reduce a radio communication latency of the terminal and implement a low-latency communication requirement in a specific service scenario.

Claims (19)

1. An Internet of things communication resource scheduling method implemented by an Internet of things application server, the Internet of things communication resource scheduling method comprising:

determining to start coordinated radio resource scheduling on a terminal;

sending a coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request to a radio transceiver node, wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request comprises an identifier of the terminal, and wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request instructs the radio transceiver node to start the coordinated radio resource scheduling on the terminal;

determining to stop the coordinated radio resource scheduling on the terminal; and

sending a coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request to the radio transceiver node, wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request comprises the identifier of the terminal, and wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request instructs the radio transceiver node to stop the coordinated radio resource scheduling on the terminal.

2. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 1 , further comprising:

analyzing data from the terminal to detect a driving condition; and

determining to start the coordinated radio resource scheduling on the terminal based on detecting the driving condition.

3. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 2 , wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request is sent to the radio transceiver node using a bearer control function, wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request from the Internet of things application server further comprises information about an Internet of things service flow, and wherein the Internet of things service flow is a service flow between the terminal and the Internet of things application server.

4. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 3 , wherein the bearer control function is implemented by any one or more of a policy and charging rules function, a policy control function, a packet data gateway, or a session management function.

5. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 2 , wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request is sent to the radio transceiver node using an Internet of things control function.

6. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 1 , wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request further comprises one or more of an Internet of things service identifier, a coordinated radio resource scheduling latency requirement, a coordinated radio resource scheduling uplink packet size, a coordinated radio resource scheduling uplink packet period, or a coordinated radio resources schedule uplink packet moment, and wherein the Internet of things service identifier is an identifier of an Internet of things service provided by the Internet of things application server.

7. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 1 , wherein determining to start the coordinated radio resource scheduling on the terminal comprises determining, at least based on data reported by the terminal, to start the coordinated radio resource scheduling on the terminal.

8. An Internet of things communication resource scheduling method implemented by a radio transceiver node, the Internet of things communications resource scheduling method comprising: receiving a coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request, wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request comprises an identifier of a terminal; determining to allow coordinated radio resource scheduling for the terminal based on subscription data of the terminal; actively granting a radio resource to the terminal according to the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request and responsive to determining to allow the coordinated radio resource scheduling; receiving a coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request, wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request comprises the identifier of the terminal; and stopping actively granting the radio resource to the terminal.

9. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 8 , wherein receiving the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request comprises receiving the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request from a packet data gateway.

10. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 8 , wherein receiving the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request comprises receiving the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request from a coordinated radio resource scheduling decision function, and wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling decision function is implemented by a mobility management entity.

11. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 8 , wherein receiving the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request comprises receiving the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request from a coordinated radio resource scheduling decision function, and wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling decision function is implemented by an access and mobility function.

12. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 8 , wherein the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request further comprises one or more of an Internet of things service identifier, a coordinated radio resource scheduling latency requirement, a coordinated radio resource scheduling uplink packet size, a coordinated radio resource scheduling uplink packet period, or a coordinated radio resource scheduling uplink packet moment.

13. The Internet of things communication resource scheduling method of claim 8 , wherein after receiving the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request, the Internet of things communication resource scheduling method further comprises forwarding the coordinated radio resource scheduling activation request or the coordinated radio resource scheduling deactivation request to the terminal.
