Abstract

Disclosed in the present disclosure are an electronic device and method for use in a resource management device, an electronic device and method for use in a resource management database, and an electronic device and method for use in a resource management object. The electronic device for use in a resource management device comprises a processing circuit, which is configured to: determine a resource usage behavior pattern of a resource management object within a specific time range and a specific space range; allocate a wireless resource to the resource management object according to the resource usage behavior pattern.

Claims (48)

1. An electronic device for a resource management apparatus, comprising:

a transceiver; and

processing circuitry operatively connected to the transceiver, configured to:

receive a resource request from a user equipment;

in response to the resource request, generate and transmit a measurement request to instruct the user equipment to measure a resource utilization parameter within a specific time range and a specific space range,

wherein the measurement request comprises at least one of a measurement object, a measurement time window or a measurement region;

in response to the measurement request, receive a measurement report from the user equipment, the measurement report indicating the requested resource utilization parameter;

allocate candidate wireless resources to the user equipment and generate corresponding allocation information; and

transmit the allocation information to the user equipment for selection of actual wireless resources for communication from the candidate wireless resources based on the requested resource utilization parameter.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the resource utilization parameter indicates a statistical measure for utilization behaviors and utilization results with respect to the wireless resources.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the resource utilization parameter indicates a distribution of resource utilization events within the specific time range and/or the specific space range.

4. The electronic device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the statistical measure comprises:

a number of events that the UE utilizes the wireless resources within the specific time range and the specific space range, or

a distribution of intervals between two adjacent events, and

wherein the events comprise at least one of attempting to perform wireless resource utilization, a successful transmission via the wireless resources, or a failed transmission via the wireless resources.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to rank, according to respective resource utilization parameters, a plurality of UEs to be allocated, to be used for allocating of the wireless resources to the plurality of UEs.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to determine expected interferences between a plurality of UEs, and allocate the wireless resources to the plurality of UEs further based on the expected interferences.

7. The electronic device according to claim 6 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

divide a plurality of UEs into a plurality of management object sets,

wherein the plurality of UEs in each management object set are capable of sharing the same wireless resources,

wherein the dividing is performed based on the expected interferences, or the dividing, is performed in accordance with a particular order based on the expected interferences, and

wherein the particular order is determined based on resource utilization parameters of the plurality of UEs;

determine, based on the dividing of the management object sets and the resource utilization parameters of the plurality of UEs, the wireless resources usable by the plurality of UEs, respectively; and

merge, with respect to each wireless resource, the resource utilization parameters of the plurality of UEs which can use the wireless resource, and rank the wireless resources based on a result of the merging, to be used for the allocating of the wireless resources.

8. An electronic device for a user equipment, comprising:

a transceiver; and

processing circuitry operatively connected to the transceiver, configured to:

transmit a resource request to a resource management apparatus;

in response to the resource request, receive a measurement request to instruct the user equipment to measure a resource utilization parameter within a specific time range and a specific space range,

wherein the measurement request comprises at least one of a measurement object, a measurement time window or a measurement region;

in response to the measurement request, perform a measurement and transmit a measurement report to the resource management apparatus, the measurement report indicating the requested resource utilization parameter;

receive an allocation of candidate wireless resources from the resource management apparatus; and

select actual wireless resources for communication from the candidate wireless resources based on the requested resource utilization parameter.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the resource utilization parameter indicates a statistical measure for utilization behaviors and utilization results with respect to the wireless resources.

10. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the resource utilization parameter indicates a distribution of resource utilization events within the specific time range and/or the specific space range.

11. The electronic device according to claim 8 ,

wherein the statistical measure comprises:

a number of events that the UE utilizes the wireless resources within the specific time range and the specific space range, or

a distribution of intervals between two adjacent events, and

wherein the events comprise at least one of attempting to perform wireless resource utilization, a successful transmission via the wireless resources, or a failed transmission via the wireless resources.

12. A method for resource management by an electronic device that includes a transceiver and a processor, the method comprising:

receiving a resource request from a user equipment;

in response to the resource request, generating and transmitting a measurement request to instruct the user equipment to measure a resource utilization parameter within a specific time range and a specific space range,

wherein the measurement request comprises at least one of a measurement object, a measurement time window or a measurement region;

in response to the measurement request, receiving a measurement report from the user equipment, the measurement report indicating the requested resource utilization parameter;

allocating candidate wireless resources to the user equipment and generating corresponding allocation information; and

transmitting the allocation information to the user equipment for selection of actual wireless resources for communication from the candidate wireless resources based on the requested resource utilization parameter.
