Table 2 Example of essential elements of resource assignment scheme.
Resources to be assigned | Frames in superframe where RS serves MS/communicates to BS, chunks assigned to RS, power mask to be used for chunks |
|---|---|
Granularity of resources | Group of four OFDMA resource units (chunks) in the frequency domain, |
TDMA frame in the time domain (0.7 ms) | |
Measurements/information related | |
Measurements required | Received signal strength of neighboring radio access point sector (beam) |
Who performs measurements | MS |
Additional information | Estimate of required chunks to serve MS |
How often | New measurement and message every 100 ms |
Who collects it | Serving radio access point |
Who uses it | BS in REC |
Resource assignment message | |
Content | Power mask (MA), frames assigned to serve MS in superframe, chunks assigned within the UL/DL frames to the RS |
