Abstract:
In this study, we present a novel architecture and procedures that extends the Long Term Evolution (LTE)-Advance Operations Support Systems (OSS) to support dynamic resource allocation. For each network entity and link, the extended system uses real traffic to evaluate the demand at several time scales from immediate to short term and long term. Using proper Application Program Interfaces (APIs), the anticipated demand can be used to control dynamic configuration, to determine ongoing network upgrades, etc. Currently, cellular network OSS does not support dynamic resource allocation. As a result, it is not suitable as an optimal solution for two key requirements from the advance standard: (i) the requirement for Self Organized Networks (SON) and (ii) the requirement to support on-line resource sharing between different operators.
