Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for traffic scheduling based on user equipment (UE) in wireless networks. A location prediction-based network scheduler (NS) interfaces with a traffic engineering (TE) function to enable location-prediction-based routing for UE traffic. The NS obtains location prediction information for a UE for a next time window comprising a plurality of next time slots, and obtains available network resource prediction for the next time slots. The NS then determines, for each of the next time slots, a weight value as a priority parameter for forwarding data to the UE, in accordance with the location prediction information and the available network resource prediction. The result for the first time slot is then forwarded from the NS to the TE function, which optimizes, for the first time slot, the weight value with a route and data for forwarding the data to the UE.
Abstract:
A method for agile wireless access network includes determining, by a network controller, capabilities and neighborhood relations of radio nodes in the radio access network. The network controller then configures a backhaul network infrastructure for the radio access network in accordance with the capabilities and the neighborhood relations of the radio nodes.
Abstract:
An embodiment method includes receiving service parameters for a service and locating logical network nodes for a service-specific data plane logical topology at respective physical network nodes among a plurality of physical network nodes according to the service parameters, a service-level topology, and a physical infrastructure of the plurality of physical network nodes. The method also includes defining connections among the logical network nodes according to the service parameters, the service-level topology, and the physical infrastructure, and defining respective connections for a plurality of UEs to at least one of the logical network nodes according to the service parameters, the service-level topology, and the physical infrastructure. The method further includes defining respective functionalities for the logical network nodes.
