  • Patent number: 9735944
    Abstract: A method and system for minimizing the control overhead in a multi-carrier wireless communication network that utilizes a time-frequency resource is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more zones in the time-frequency resource are designated for particular applications, such as a zone dedicated for voice-over-IP (VoIP) applications. By grouping applications of a similar type together within a zone, a reduction in the number of bits necessary for mapping a packet stream to a portion of the time-frequency resource can be achieved. In some embodiments, modular coding schemes associated with the packet streams may be selected that further reduce the amount of necessary control information. In some embodiments, packets may be classified for transmission in accordance with application type, QoS parameters, and other properties. In some embodiments, improved control messages may be constructed to facilitate the control process and minimize associated overhead.

  • Publication number: 20140289839
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a resource control method and apparatus. A client sends an authorization request message to a content provider. The content provider sends an authorization response message to the client according to a user identifier carried in the authorization request message, where the authorization response message carries an authorized access token. The client sends a content request message to a storage server corresponding to the content provider, where the content request message carries an identifier of content requested by the client and the authorized access token. The client receives the content sent by the storage server according to the authorized access token. The present invention is applied to the field of network resource management.
