Patent number: 12149992Abstract: A method, and apparatus for implementing the method, of resource allocation for a communication session in a network that connects a terminal device and a control device via one or more base stations is discussed herein. The method may include storing identifiers of a set of communication objects associated wide the terminal device. The method may further include acquiring information regarding a first set of resources associated with a first communication session for a first communication object in the set of communication objects. The method may also include allocating a second set of resources associated with a second communication session for a second communication object in the set of communication objects, where the second set of resources comprises a disjoint set of resources from the first set of resources.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuya Maruyama, Shoji Yunoki, Taisuke Ueta, Hidenori Omiya, Yusaku Otsuka, Iori Kobayashi, Toshiki Shimizu
