Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for detection and characterization of buffer occupancy of a buffer in a network device. Packets are received at a network device. The packets are stored in a buffer of the network device as they are processed by the network device. An occupancy level of the buffer is sampled at a sampling rate. Occupancy levels of the buffer over time are determined from the sampling, and traffic flow through the network device is characterized based on the occupancy levels.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a resource scheduling method, a radio access device, and a communications system. In a solution provided in an embodiment of the present invention, a radio access device first measures an interference parameter value corresponding to each uplink resource block of a first communications system; when a first terminal accessing the first communications system needs to transmit uplink data, measures a channel condition parameter value of an uplink channel of the first terminal; if a current channel condition of the uplink channel of the first terminal is relatively good, allocates an uplink resource block, whose interference parameter value is greater than a first interference threshold, of the first communications system to the first terminal; and if relatively poor, allocates an uplink resource block, whose interference parameter value is less than the first interference threshold, of the first communications system to the first terminal.
