TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING ACCESS COMBINATIONS FOR MULTIPLE ACCESS PROTOCOL DATA UNIT SESSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17545850 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR MANAGING ACCESS COMBINATIONS FOR MULTIPLE ACCESS PROTOCOL DATA UNIT SESSIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for managing access combinations for multiple access protocol data unit (PDU) sessions. Here are the key points:

• The communication device receives control signaling indicating a configuration for a multiple access PDU session associated with a plurality of access links.
• The access links can be associated with a first type of access, a second type of access, or a combination of both.
• The communication device selects a mode for allocating a data flow associated with the multiple access PDU session to the access links based on the received control signaling.
• The data flow associated with the multiple access PDU session is then allocated to the access links based on the selected mode.
• The allocated data flow is transmitted over the access links associated with the two types of access.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Wireless communication systems that support multiple access protocols.
• Networks with different types of access links, such as cellular networks with both 4G and 5G access links.
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices that need to transmit data over multiple access links simultaneously.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient management of data flow in multiple access PDU sessions.
• Optimized allocation of data flow to different types of access links.
• Seamless transmission of data over multiple access links.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved performance and reliability of data transmission in multiple access scenarios.
• Enhanced utilization of available access links.
• Flexibility in managing data flow allocation based on the specific configuration of the multiple access PDU session.

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques for managing access combinations for multiple access protocol data unit (PDU) sessions are described. A communication device may receive control signaling indicating a configuration for a multiple access PDU session associated with a plurality of access links. The plurality of access links may be associated with a first type of access, a second type of access, or a combination thereof. The communication device may select a mode for allocation of a data flow associated with the multiple access PDU session to the plurality of access links based at least in part on the received control signaling. The communication device may allocate the data flow associated with the multiple access PDU session to the plurality of access links based at least in part on the selected mode, and transmit the allocated data flow over the plurality of access links associated with the two types of access.
