Traffic reconfiguration for user throughput
Systems, methods, and devices that relate to dynamically reconfiguration of network connections to achieve better user throughput are disclosed. In one example aspect, a device for wireless communication comprises a processor that is configured to obtain information regarding service sessions of a user equipment, determine a service type associated with the service sessions based on the information, and selectively reconfigure a network connection of the service type to satisfy a throughput requirement associated with the service type.
1 . A method for wireless communication, comprising:
obtaining, at a base station, information regarding one or more service sessions for at least one user equipment;
determining, at the base station, at least one service type associated with the one or more service sessions based on the information;
determining, at the base station, a network connection of the at least one user equipment fails to meet a throughput requirement associated with the at least one service type,
wherein the determining is based on comparing at least one value included in the information with a predefined threshold, wherein the predefined threshold corresponds to a frequency band in which the at least one user equipment operates;
categorizing, by the base station, the at least one user equipment into one or more user groups based on common characteristics indicated by the information;
assigning, by the base station, a service profile identifier to each of the one or more user groups; and
dynamically reconfiguring network connections for a group of user equipment sharing a same service profile identifier based on the determining.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamically reconfiguring comprises:
reconfiguring the network connection to be single connectivity in response to the network connection being configured as dual connectivity having two serving nodes that are not co-located.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamically reconfiguring comprises:
reconfiguring a primary cell of the at least one user equipment to operate in a Time-Division Duplexing (TDD) mode in response to the primary cell being configured to operate in a Frequency-Division Duplexing (FDD) mode.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the network connection is configured for a downlink transmission from the base station to the at least one user equipment.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the network connection is configured for an uplink transmission from the base station to the at least one user equipment.
6 . A method for wireless communication, comprising:
obtaining, at a base station, information regarding a user session of a user equipment;
determining, at the base station, whether the user session is related to a service type having a specific throughput requirement;
categorizing, by the base station, the at least one user equipment into one or more user groups based on common characteristics indicated by the information;
assigning, by the base station, a service profile identifier to each of the one or more user groups;
selectively reconfiguring, by the base station, a network connection for the user session, wherein the selectively reconfiguring comprises at least one of:
reconfiguring the network connection to be single connectivity in response to the network connection being configured as dual-connectivity having two serving nodes that are not co-located; or
reconfiguring a primary cell of the user equipment to operate in a Time-Division Duplexing (TDD) mode in response to the primary cell being configured to operate in a Frequency-Division Duplexing (FDD) mode.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the selectively reconfiguring further comprises:
identifying one or more frequency layers that have additional available bandwidth; and
redirecting traffic of the network connection to the one or more frequency layers.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the service type comprises a benchmark performance service.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the network connection is configured for a downlink transmission from the base station to the user equipment or is configured for an uplink transmission from the user equipment to the base station.
10 . The method of claim 6 further comprising:
determining, at the base station, that the network connection fails to meet the throughput requirement associated with the service type by comparing at least one value included in the information with a predefined threshold.
11 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the predefined threshold corresponds to a frequency band in which the at least one user equipment operates, the method further comprising:
determining different predefined thresholds corresponding to different frequency bands.
12 . A device for wireless communication, comprising a processor that is configured to:
obtain information regarding one or more service sessions of at least one user equipment;
determine at least one service type associated with the one or more service sessions based on the information;
categorize the at least one user equipment into one or more user groups based on common characteristics indicated by the information;
assign a service profile identifier to each of the one or more user groups; and
selectively reconfigure a network connection of the at least one service type to satisfy a throughput requirement associated with the at least one service type.
13 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to:
determine that the network connection fails to meet the throughput requirement associated with the at least one service type by comparing at least one value included in the information with a predefined threshold.
14 . The device of claim 13 , wherein the predefined threshold corresponds to a frequency band in which the at least one user equipment operates, and wherein the processor is further configured to:
determine different predefined thresholds corresponding to different frequency bands.
15 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to:
reconfigure the network connection to be single connectivity in response to the network connection being configured as dual connectivity having two serving nodes that are not co-located.
16 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to:
reconfigure a primary cell of the at least one user equipment to operate in a Time-Division Duplexing (TDD) mode in response to the primary cell being configured to operate in a Frequency-Division Duplexing (FDD) mode.
17 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to:
identify one or more frequency layers that have additional available bandwidth; and
redirect traffic of the network connection to the one or more frequency layers.
18 . The device of claim 17 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
reconfigure network connections for a group of user equipment sharing a same service profile identifier.
19 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the at least one service type comprises a benchmark performance service.
20 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the network connection is configured for a downlink transmission to the at least one user equipment or is configured for an uplink transmission from the at least one user equipment.
