Patent Images
1. A method for determining radio resource usage, the method comprising a network node:
- associating a bearer of a terminal device with a target bitrate;
acquiring historical radio resource usage and historical bitrate information for the bearer;
acquiring an estimated spectral efficiency of the bearer, wherein the estimated spectral efficiency is based on at least one of the historical radio resource usage and the historical bitrate information for the bearer;
acquiring a maximum radio resource usage; and
determining radio resource usage of the bearer based on the target bitrate, the maximum radio resource usage, and the estimated spectral efficiency.
