Systems and methods for traffic policing
Systems and methods for policing traffic in communications systems are described herein. According to systems and methods herein, tokens are generated for a packet data network based on a peak transmission rate associated with the packet data network. Packets are selected for transmission over the packet data network based on availability of tokens.
1. A communication node operative in a communications network, the node comprising:
a transceiver configured to communicate with a wireless device over a plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers; and
a processor coupled to the transceiver, the processor being configured to:
group the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers into a logical channel group consisting of only non guaranteed bit rate bearers;
receive a transmission request for the logical channel group;
schedule transmission from the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers based at least in part on the transmission request and a peak transmission data rate associated with the wireless device; and
schedule transmission from the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers based at least in part on an amount of data transmitted by the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers during a predetermined time interval.
2. The node of claim 1 , wherein the peak transmission data rate comprises a user equipment aggregate maximum bit rate.
3. A method for policing traffic in a communications network, the method comprising:
communicating with a wireless device over a plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers;
grouping the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers into a logical channel group consisting of only non guaranteed bit rate bearers;
receiving a transmission request for the logical channel group;
scheduling transmission from the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers based at least in part on the transmission request and a peak transmission data rate associated with the wireless device; and
scheduling transmission from the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers based at least in part on an amount of data transmitted by the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers during a predetermined time interval.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the peak transmission data rate comprises a user equipment aggregate maximum bit rate.
5. A communication node operative in a communications network, the node comprising:
means for communicating with a wireless device over a plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers;
means for grouping the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers into a logical channel group consisting of only non guaranteed bit rate bearers;
means for receiving a transmission request for the logical channel group;
means for scheduling transmission from the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers based at least in part on the transmission request and a peak transmission data rate associated with the wireless device; and
wherein the means for scheduling further comprise scheduling transmission from the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers based at least in part on an amount of data transmitted by the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers during a predetermined time interval.
6. The communication node of claim 5 , wherein the peak transmission data rate comprises a user equipment aggregate maximum bit rate.
7. A
non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising code for:
causing a computer to communicate with a wireless device over a plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers;
causing the computer to group the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers into a logical channel group consisting of only non guaranteed bit rate bearers;
causing the computer to receive a transmission request for the logical channel group;
causing the computer to schedule transmission from the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers based at least in part on the transmission request and a peak transmission data rate associated with the wireless device; and
causing the computer to schedule transmission from the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers based at least in part on an amount of data transmitted by the wireless device over the plurality of non-guaranteed bit rate bearers during a predetermined time interval.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the peak transmission data rate comprises a user equipment aggregate maximum bit rate.
