QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS) ENHANCEMENT FOR A SIDE-LINK RELAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17441389 titled 'QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS) ENHANCEMENT FOR A SIDE-LINK RELAY

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an approach for a user equipment (UE) that enables wireless communication with another UE and a wireless device. The UE includes a transceiver and a processor that is connected to the transceiver. The processor receives an end-to-end quality of service (QoS) requirement from the second UE, which includes a first hop between the UE and the second UE and a second hop between the UE and the wireless device. The processor obtains the link conditions for both hops and splits the E2E QoS requirement into separate QoS requirements for each hop based on the link conditions. The first hop QoS requirement is then transmitted to the second UE.

• The user equipment (UE) enables wireless communication between two UEs and a wireless device.
• The processor of the UE receives an end-to-end quality of service (QoS) requirement from the second UE.
• The end-to-end connection includes a first hop between the UE and the second UE and a second hop between the UE and the wireless device.
• The processor obtains the link conditions for both hops.
• The processor splits the E2E QoS requirement into separate QoS requirements for each hop based on the link conditions.
• The first hop QoS requirement is transmitted to the second UE.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Improving the quality of wireless communication between UEs and wireless devices.
• Enhancing the overall performance and reliability of wireless networks.
• Enabling efficient resource allocation and management in wireless communication systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Ensuring that the end-to-end quality of service requirements are met in wireless communication.
• Optimizing the QoS for each hop in the E2E connection based on the link conditions.
• Improving the overall user experience in wireless communication.

Benefits of this technology:

• Enhanced reliability and performance of wireless communication systems.
• Efficient utilization of network resources.
• Improved user experience and satisfaction with wireless services.

Original Abstract Submitted

An approach is described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a second UE and a wireless device and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured receive, from the second UE, an end-to-end (E2E) quality of service (QoS) requirement of an E2E connection between the second UE and the wireless device, wherein the E2E connection includes a first hop between the UE and the second UE and a second hop between the UE and the wireless device. The processor is further configured to obtain a first hop link condition and a second hop link condition; split the E2E QoS requirement into a first hop QoS requirement and a second hop QoS requirement based on the first hop link condition and the second hop link condition; and transmit, using the transceiver, the first hop QoS requirement to the second UE. The wireless device is a third UE or a base station.
