Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer-readable storage medium for allocating system resources among a plurality of network slices in a communication network. In the communication network, a network device determines utility values of two network slices. A network slice corresponds to a set of network functions of a set of services served thereby. A utility value of the network slice indicates the level of demand for system resources by the set of services associated with the network slice. The network device determines a difference between the utility values of the two network slices. If the difference exceeds a threshold utility value, the network device re-allocates system resources among the plurality of network slices in the communication network. According to the embodiments, the communication network updates the system resources allocated for the plurality of network slices only when the difference between the utility values of the two network slices exceeds a certain threshold. Hence, the complexity of updating system resource allocation among the plurality of network slices may be reduced by the method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

A method for collecting per call measurement data PCMD is proposed in the present invention. The method comprises: when an instruction to activate a PCMD-related function is received, sending by a base station a message including an indication of whether the base station is capable of collecting the PCMD to a mobility management entity MME device; when an instruction to start PCMD collection is received, sending by the MME device a message including an indication of starting collecting the PCMD to at least one base station capable of collecting the PCMD; based on the received indication of starting collecting the PCMD, collecting by the base station the PCMD for at least one user equipment UE connection. A mobility management entity device and a base station for collecting the per call measurement data PCMD are also proposed in the present invention.

A base station device, method, and communication system are disclosed. The base station includes a covariance matrix obtaining unit forming a covariance matrix of an interference vector and a noise vector from received signals from multiple user equipment; a ratio calculation and comparison unit that calculates a relative ratio between the interference and the noise in the received signals based on the covariance matrix and compares the ratio with a predetermined threshold; an adjusting unit that reduces values of non-diagonal elements in the covariance matrix when the ratio is less than the predetermined threshold; an equalizer unit that performs equalization based on the covariance matrix using an Interference Rejection Combining algorithm when the ratio is greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold, and equalizes the received signals based on the adjusted covariance matrix using a Minimum Mean Square Error algorithm when the ratio is less than the predetermined threshold.

The present invention relates to technique for optimized assignment of Abis transmission resources based on dynamic statistical time division multiplexing, the method comprising the steps of: assigning a set of 64 k TS's to GPRS/EGPRS services on an Abis link, the set of 64 k TS's shared among all BTS's connected to the Abis interface; a PCU assigning sufficient Abis transmission resources to a TRX based on the load thereof if the TRX has EGPRS services; a BSC interconnecting Abis transmission resources and BSC-PCU transmission resources and informing a BTS that said Abis transmission resources have been assigned to a TRE mapped to the TRX; the PCU reassigning bandwidth of the Abis transmission resources based on changes in the load of the TRX; in each TRX, all RTS's statistical-time-division-multiplexing all transmission resources of the TRX based on flow in different periods for different RTS's. The present invention will achieve dynamic sharing of Abis transmission resources on a RTS layer so as to optimize using of Abis transmission resources, reduce waste and decrease operating cost.
