Abstract

Disclosed are a wireless communication method and a wireless communication device. Provided is a resource management device, comprising one or a plurality of processors, said processor or processors being configured to: obtain interference information from another resource management device, said interference information comprising mutual interference between a plurality of managed systems managed by the resource management device, and interference of a plurality of managed systems by one or a plurality of non-managed systems not managed by the resource management device; determine a communication resource for each managed system on the basis of the obtained interference information; and notify a corresponding managed system of the determined communication resource.

Claims (40)

1. A resource management apparatus, comprising processing circuitry configured to:

receive a request message from a system of the plurality of systems,

wherein the request message comprises each of system identification, the position information, radio frequency information, and information indicating whether or not the system of the plurality of systems is managed by the another resource management apparatus,

based on the request message, recognize managed systems and non-managed systems among a plurality of systems based on information reported by each of the plurality of systems,

determine interference-related information indicating mutual interferences between each of the managed systems and the non-managed systems of the plurality of systems;

determine available communication resources for the managed systems based on the interference-related information; and

for each of the managed systems that are managed by the another resource management apparatus, notify the another resource management apparatus of the determined available communication resources,

wherein, in a case that the request message indicates that the system is managed by the another resource management apparatus, the request message further comprises an identification of the another resource management apparatus.

2. The resource management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine the available communication resources for the managed systems by a coloring algorithm.

3. The resource management apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the coloring algorithm is based on mutual interferences between the managed systems and the non-managed systems.

4. The resource management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine that a particular non-managed system of the plurality of systems within a predetermined distance of a particular managed system of the plurality of systems interferes with the particular managed system of the plurality of systems.

5. The resource management apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined distance is determined at least in part based on the position information reported by each of the particular non-managed system and the particular managed system.

6. The resource management apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to:

determine strengths of the mutual interferences between the managed systems and the non-managed systems.

7. A resource management method performed by a resource management apparatus, the resource management method comprising:

receiving a request message from a system of the plurality of systems,

wherein the request message comprises each of system identification, the position information, radio frequency information, and information indicating whether or not the system of the plurality of systems is managed by the another resource management apparatus;

based on the request message, recognizing managed systems and non-managed systems among a plurality of systems based on information reported by each of the plurality of systems;

determining interference-related information indicating mutual interferences between each of the managed systems and the non-managed systems of the plurality of systems,

determining available communication resources for the managed systems based on the interference-related information; and

for each of the managed systems that are managed by the another resource management apparatus, notifying the another resource management apparatus of the determined available communication resources,

wherein, in a case that the request message indicates that the system is managed by the another resource management apparatus, the request message further comprises an identification of the another resource management apparatus.

8. The resource management method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

determining the available communication resources for the managed systems by a coloring algorithm.

9. The resource management method according to claim 8 , wherein the coloring algorithm is based on the mutual interferences between the managed systems and the non-managed systems.

10. The resource management method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

determining that a particular non-managed system of the plurality of systems within a predetermined distance of a particular managed system of the plurality of systems interferes with the particular managed system of the plurality of systems.

11. The resource management method according to claim 10 , wherein the predetermined distance is determined at least in part based on the position information reported by each of the particular non-managed system and the particular managed system.

12. The resource management method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

determining strengths of the mutual interferences between the managed systems and the non-managed systems.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to:

receive a request message from a system of the plurality of systems,

wherein the request message comprises each of system identification, the position information, radio frequency information, and information indicating whether or not the system of the plurality of systems is managed by the another resource management apparatus;

based on the request message, recognize managed systems and non-managed systems among a plurality of systems based on information reported by each of the plurality of systems;

determine interference-related information indicating mutual interferences between each of the managed systems and the non-managed systems of the plurality of systems;

determine available communication resources for the managed systems based on the interference-related information; and

for each of the managed systems that are managed by the another resource management apparatus, notify the another resource management apparatus of the determined available communication resources,

wherein, in a case that the request message indicates that the system is managed by the another resource management apparatus, the request message further comprises an identification of the another resource management apparatus.
