Service provisioning using abstracted network resource requirements

摘要

Interference costs on virtual radio interfaces can be modeled as a function of loading in a wireless network to estimate changes in spectral efficiency and/or resource availability that would result from a provisioning decision. In one example this modeling is achieved through cost functions that are developed from historical and/or simulated resource cost data corresponding to the wireless network. The cost data may include interference data spectral efficiency data and/or loading data for various links over a common period of time (e.g. a month a year etc.) and may be analyzed and/or consolidated to obtain correlations between interference costs and loading on the various links in the network. As an example a cost function may specify an interference cost on one virtual link as a function of loading on one or more neighboring virtual links.
