Samsung patents method for telling radio units which frequency slots to use
Samsung describes a way for a central network controller to tell a remote radio antenna exactly which frequency slots are assigned to specific users. The system sends a message that marks the starting point and length of the data space reserved for each device.
In the filing’s own words
A method performed by a distributed unit (DU) is provided. The method includes generating a control plane (C-plane) message including section information for indicating a resource area and section extension information, and transmitting the C-plane message to a radio unit (RU), wherein the section extension information includes resource information allocated for each user equipment (UE) of a plurality of UEs related to a radio unit (RU) connected to the DU, wherein the resource information includes first information and second information, wherein the first information indicates a start resource block of resource blocks continuously allocated to a corresponding UE in the resource area, and wherein the first information and the second information are used to indicate the resource blocks continuously allocated to the corresponding UE.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method performed by a distributed unit (DU), the method comprising: generating a control plane (C-plane) message including section information for indicating a resource area and section extension information; and transmitting the C-plane message to a radio unit (RU), wherein the section extension information includes resource information allocated for each user equipment (UE) of a plurality of UEs related to a radio unit (RU) connected to the DU, wherein the resource information includes first information and second information, wherein the first information indicates a start resource block of resource blocks continuously allocated to a corresponding UE in the resource area, and wherein the first information and the second information are used to indicate the resource blocks continuously allocated to the corresponding UE.
