Abstract

Provided are a resource allocation method and a resource allocation device, which are used for a frequency division duplexing system. The resource allocation method comprises: setting a shared frequency band; and according to resource demands for an original uplink frequency band and an original downlink frequency band in a network service, allocating the shared frequency band to the original uplink frequency band and/or the original downlink frequency band.

Claims (57)

1. A method for resource allocation used in a frequency division duplexing system, comprising:

determining a shared frequency band;

in accordance with a first resource demands for an original uplink frequency band and a second resource demands for an original downlink frequency band determined in a network service, allocating the shared frequency band to at least one of the original uplink frequency band and the original downlink frequency band; and

when the shared frequency band is simultaneously allocated to the original uplink frequency band and the original downlink frequency band, setting a protective isolation bandwidth between the original uplink frequency band allocated with the shared frequency band and the original downlink frequency band allocated with the shared frequency band.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

when the shared frequency band is simultaneously allocated to the original uplink frequency band and the original downlink frequency band, setting protective time slots between uplink sub-frames and downlink sub-frames, wherein the uplink sub-frames and the downlink sub-frames are divided from the shared frequency band.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on one of a preset frequency width and a time width, dividing a shared bandwidth of the shared frequency band into a plurality of dispatched units; and

based on a proportion of the network service, allocating a first quantity of the dispatched units to the original uplink frequency band and a second quantity of the dispatched units to the original downlink frequency band.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the shared frequency band comprises one of a dedicated frequency band, the original uplink frequency band in an idle state, and the original downlink frequency band in an idle state.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

when the shared frequency band comprises the original uplink frequency band in the idle state, allocating a remaining resource of the original uplink frequency band excluding a required resource for normal uplink transmission; and

when the shared frequency band comprises the original downlink frequency band in the idle state, allocating a remaining resource of the original downlink frequency band excluding a required resource for normal downlink transmission.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the shared frequency band comprises an unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

when the shared frequency band comprises the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource:

detecting an interference with the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource;

when the interference with the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource is less than a preset interference threshold, allowing the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource to serve as the shared frequency band; and

when the interference with the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource is greater than or equal to the preset interference threshold, not allowing the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource to serve as the shared frequency band.

8. A device for resource allocation, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, the memory configured to store a set of instructions which when executed by the processor become operational with the processor to:

determine a shared frequency band;

in accordance with a first resource demands for an original uplink frequency band and a second resource demands for an original downlink frequency band determined in a network service, allocate the shared frequency band to at least one of the original uplink frequency band and the original downlink frequency band; and

when the shared frequency band is simultaneously allocated to the original uplink frequency band and the original downlink frequency band, set a protective isolation bandwidth between the original uplink frequency band allocated with the shared frequency band and the original downlink frequency band allocated with the shared frequency band.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the memory includes further instructions to:

when the shared frequency band is simultaneously allocated to the original uplink frequency band and the original downlink frequency band, set protective time slots between uplink sub-frames and downlink sub-frames, wherein the uplink sub-frames and the downlink sub-frames are divided from the shared frequency band.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the memory includes further instructions to:

based on one of a preset frequency width and a time width, divide a shared bandwidth of the shared frequency band into a plurality of dispatched units; and

based on a proportion of the network service, allocate a first quantity of the dispatched units to the original uplink frequency band and a second quantity of the dispatched units to the original downlink frequency band.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the shared frequency band comprises one of a dedicated frequency band, the original uplink frequency band in an idle state, and the original downlink frequency band in an idle state.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the memory includes further instructions to:

when the shared frequency band comprises the original uplink frequency band in the idle state, allocate a remaining resource of the original uplink frequency band excluding a required resource for normal uplink transmission; and

when the shared frequency band comprises the original downlink frequency band in the idle state, allocate a remaining resource of the original downlink frequency band excluding a required resource for normal downlink transmission.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the shared frequency band comprises an unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein when the shared frequency band comprises the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource, the memory includes further instructions to:

detect an interference with the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource;

when the interference with the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource is less than a preset interference threshold, allow the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource to serve as the shared frequency band; and

when the interference with the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource is greater than or equal to the preset interference threshold, not allow the unlicensed public frequency spectrum resource to serve as the shared frequency band.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions which when executed by a computer system using a processor become operational with the processor for resource allocation, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions to:

determine a shared frequency band;

in accordance with a first resource demands for an original uplink frequency band and a second resource demands for an original downlink frequency band determined in a network service, allocate the shared frequency band to at least one of the original uplink frequency band and the original downlink frequency band; and
