SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RADIO RESOURCE ALLOCATION ACROSS MULTIPLE RESOURCE DIMENSIONS
First Claim
1. A method of operation of a network node in a wireless communications network to allocate one or more radio resources to two or more traffic partitions comprising:
- obtaining radio resource allocation policies for the two or more traffic partitions;
obtaining radio resource usage for the two or more traffic partitions across multiple resource dimensions; and
allocating the one or more radio resources to the two or more traffic partitions based on the radio resource usage of the two or more traffic partitions across the multiple resource dimensions and the radio resource allocation policies for the two or more traffic partitions.

Abstract
Systems and methods for radio resource allocation across multiple resource dimensions are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a network node in a wireless communications network to allocate one or more radio resources to two or more traffic partitions includes obtaining radio resource allocation policies for the two or more traffic partitions; obtaining radio resource usage for the two or more traffic partitions across multiple resource dimensions; and allocating the radio resources to the two or more traffic partitions based on the radio resource usage of the two or more traffic partitions across the multiple resource dimensions and the radio resource allocation policies for the two or more traffic partitions. In this way, the radio resource allocation policies may be enforced across multiple resource dimensions of the wireless communications network.

29. A method of operation of a network node in a wireless communications network to allocate one or more radio resources to two or more traffic partitions comprising:
-
obtaining radio resource allocation policies for the two or more traffic partitions comprising a percentage of the one or more radio resources allocated to each traffic partition of the two or more traffic partitions; obtaining the radio resource usage for the two or more traffic partitions across multiple resource dimensions for the two or more traffic partitions; for each transmission across the multiple resource dimensions, deducting an amount of the one or more radio resources used by each of the two or more traffic partitions from the corresponding radio resource credits; selecting the traffic partition of the two or more traffic partitions with the largest corresponding radio resource credit for the next transmission; if the traffic partition with the largest corresponding radio resource credit does not have any pending transmissions, setting that radio resource credit to zero; and if each of the radio resource credits is at or below zero, setting each radio resource credit equal to a predetermined base time credit multiplied by the percentage of the radio resource allocated to the corresponding traffic partition. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
