Abstract

A radio channel control method includes: collecting a real-time user experience index for access to a media service by a user terminal, and collecting a media service transmission parameter of the media service provided by a server; determining whether the real-time user experience index is less than a user experience index defined in a user experience level of an ordered traffic package of the user terminal, and if the real-time user experience index is less than the user experience index defined in the user experience level of the ordered traffic package of the user terminal, calculating, by using the real-time user experience index and the media service transmission parameter, a radio channel parameter that is required by the user experience index; and transmitting the radio channel parameter to a core network device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A radio channel control method comprising:
collecting, by a traffic trading platform, a real-time user experience index for enabling a first user terminal to access a media service provided by a server in a defined time period of an ordered traffic package,
wherein the real-time user experience index comprises a real-time mean opinion score (MOS) or a quality of service (QOS) value, and
the ordered traffic package is a traffic package bought by the first user terminal from a second user terminal;

collecting, by the traffic trading platform, a media service transmission parameter of the media service provided by the server;
determining, by the traffic trading platform, whether the real-time user experience index is lower than a user experience index defined in a user experience level of the ordered traffic package;
in response to determining the real-time user experience index is lower than the user experience index,
obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a first radio channel parameter that is required by the user experience index by using the real-time user experience index and the media service transmission parameter; and

transmitting, by the traffic trading platform, the first radio channel parameter to a core network device to enable the core network device to adjust, according to the first radio channel parameter, a second radio channel parameter used by the first user terminal when accessing the media service.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the first radio channel parameter comprises:
obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a radio channel bandwidth value increment according to the media service transmission parameter, wherein the media service transmission parameter comprises one of the following:
(a) a time length of the media service, an average rate of accessing the media service, and a variance of the average rate, and
(b) the time length of the media service and a variance of the average rate of accessing the media service;

obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a difference between the user experience index and the real-time user experience index;
obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a product of the difference, a radio channel scheduling priority defined in the user experience level, and the radio channel bandwidth value increment; and
obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a sum of the product and a radio channel bandwidth value defined in the user experience level, as a radio channel bandwidth value that is required by the user experience index.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the first radio channel parameter comprises:
obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a radio channel scheduling priority increment according to the media service transmission parameter, wherein the media service transmission parameter comprises one of the following:
(a) a time length of the media service, an average rate of accessing the media service, and a variance of the average rate, and
(b) the time length of the media service and a variance of the average rate of accessing the media service;
obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a difference between the user experience index and the real-time user experience index; and
obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a product of the difference, a radio channel scheduling priority defined in the user experience level, and a radio channel bandwidth increment, as a radio channel scheduling priority that is required by the user experience index.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before collecting the real-time user experience index, the method further comprises:
receiving, by the traffic trading platform, a traffic package query request sent by the first user terminal, wherein the traffic package query request comprises a to-be-ordered traffic package parameter;
performing, by the traffic trading platform, identity authentication on the first user terminal;
upon success of the identity authentication, querying, by the traffic trading platform, a traffic package in conformity with the to-be-ordered traffic package parameter, and sending the traffic package to the first user terminal;
receiving, by the traffic trading platform, an ordered traffic package sent by the first user terminal, wherein the ordered traffic package is the traffic package in conformity with the to-be-ordered traffic package parameter; and
sending, by the traffic trading platform, user traffic package update information, comprising information about the ordered traffic package to a billing system, to enable the billing system to update, according to the ordered traffic package, a stored traffic package of the first user terminal and a stored traffic package of a seller of the ordered traffic package.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the method further comprises:
sending, by the traffic trading platform, the user traffic package update information comprising information about the ordered traffic package to the core network device, to enable the core network device to update, according to the ordered traffic package, the stored traffic package of the first user terminal and the stored traffic package of the seller of the ordered traffic package.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the billing system deducts, from an account of a user associated with the first user terminal, according to the ordered traffic package, an order amount associated with a price of the ordered traffic package, and adds the order amount to an account of the seller.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the to-be-ordered traffic package parameter comprises one of the following:
(a) a size, a defined time period, the user experience level, and a price of the to-be-ordered traffic package; and
(b) the size, the defined time period, the user experience level, the price, and a use location of the to-be-ordered traffic package.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before collecting the real-time user experience index, the method further comprises:
obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, the real-time user experience index from the first user terminal for the first user terminal's access to the media service in a defined time period of a current traffic package;
upon the real-time user experience index being lower than a preset user experience index, obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a media service type of the media service provided by the server;
obtaining, by the traffic trading platform, a user experience level of the current traffic package and a radio resource utilization rate of a wireless base station to which the first user terminal belongs;
upon the radio resource utilization rate beingis higher than a preset radio resource utilization rate, comparing, by the traffic trading platform, a user experience level required by the media service type and the user experience level of the current traffic package; and
upon the user experience level required by the media service type being higher than the user experience level of the current traffic package, searching, by the traffic trading platform, for a to-be-ordered traffic package meeting the user experience level required by the media service type, and recommending the to-be-ordered traffic package to the first user terminal.

9. A traffic trading server comprising:
a processor;
a transmitter; and
a memory coupled to the processor and including processor-executable instructions stored therein, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to be configured to provide at least the following operations:
collecting a real-time user experience index for enabling a first user terminal to access a
