EDGED CLOUD APPLICATION BACKUP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17547320 titled 'EDGED CLOUD APPLICATION BACKUP

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for using 5G radio link control channels to create data backups for cloud applications at the edge of a network.

  • The method involves creating RLC channels to transfer network data packets using network slicing technology.
  • These RLC channels are allocated to specific applications in a user device for dedicated packet routing.
  • The RLC channels and applications are mapped with corresponding identifiers.
  • The applications are monitored for backups, and when a backup request is received, a copy of the application's datastore is created based on the changes monitored.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in cloud computing environments to provide efficient and selective data backups for applications.
  • It can be particularly useful for edge cloud applications where low latency and high bandwidth are required.

Problems Solved

  • Traditional backup methods may be inefficient and time-consuming, especially for large-scale cloud applications.
  • This technology solves the problem of selective data backup by monitoring changes in applications and creating backups only when necessary.
  • It also solves the problem of allocating dedicated packet routing for backup purposes, ensuring efficient data transfer.

Benefits

  • The use of 5G RLC channels and network slicing technology allows for faster and more efficient data transfer for backups.
  • Selective data backup based on changes in applications reduces storage and bandwidth requirements.
  • The dedicated packet routing ensures that backup data does not interfere with regular network traffic, improving overall network performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an approach for in-band selective data snapshot using fifth generation (5G) radio link control (RLC) channels for edged cloud application backups, a processor creates one or more RLC channels to transfer network data packets in a telecommunication network using a network slicing technology. A processor allocates the one or more RLC channels to one or more applications in a user device for dedicated packet routing requirements. A processor maps the corresponding RLC channels and applications with corresponding identifiers, respectively. A processor monitors the one or more applications for backups. A processor, in response to receiving an application's backup request, creates a copy of a datastore associated with the application based on changes monitored in the one or more applications.
