System and Method of Traffic Engineering in a Software Defined Radio Access Network

摘要

An embodiment method of traffic engineering (TE) in a software defined radio access network (SD-RAN) includes determining, by a radio resource manager (RRM) at a wireless radio node, respective data rates for paths of a plurality of user equipments (UEs) wirelessly coupled to the wireless radio node. The RRM computes respective supported wireless rates for the paths of the plurality of UEs according to the respective data rates. The TE module receives respective allocated data rates for the paths of the plurality of UEs. The method also includes repeating the determining and the computing using the respective allocated data rates.
