ENHANCED NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGMENT CONTROL FRAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17815912 titled 'ENHANCED NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGMENT CONTROL FRAME
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for enhanced negative acknowledgment control (NAC) frame are described. These technologies aim to improve error handling and communication in a network protocol stack. Here are the key points:
- The device generates and communicates an enhanced NAC frame that provides additional error information to indicate the cause of the error.
- When the device receives a data frame, it analyzes the layers of the protocol stack to determine the error condition associated with them.
- The device generates feedback that indicates the cause of the determined error condition and transmits this feedback in the form of a NAC frame.
- The NAC frame includes a first quantity of bits to indicate the existence of an error and a second quantity of bits to indicate the specific error cause.
- The format of the NAC frame includes bits that can identify multiple types of error causes associated with different layers of the protocol stack.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Network communication: This technology can be applied in various network communication systems to improve error handling and provide more detailed error information.
- Internet of Things (IoT): IoT devices often rely on network protocols, and this technology can enhance error control and feedback mechanisms in IoT networks.
- Telecommunications: In telecommunications networks, the enhanced NAC frame can help identify and address errors more effectively, leading to improved communication quality.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited error information: Traditional error control mechanisms may only indicate the existence of an error without providing specific details about the cause. This technology addresses this limitation by including additional error information in the NAC frame.
- Inefficient error handling: Without enhanced NAC frames, devices may struggle to identify and address errors efficiently, leading to delays and potential disruptions in communication. This technology improves error handling by providing feedback indicating the cause of the error.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved error identification: The enhanced NAC frame allows devices to pinpoint the cause of errors more accurately, enabling faster troubleshooting and resolution.
- Enhanced error communication: By including additional error information in the NAC frame, this technology facilitates better communication between devices, leading to more effective error handling.
- Streamlined error resolution: With detailed error cause information, network administrators can quickly identify and address the root cause of errors, minimizing downtime and optimizing network performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for enhanced negative acknowledgment control (NAC) frame are described. A device may generate and communicate an enhanced NAC frame that includes additional error information to indicate to the device a cause for the error. The device may receive a data frame and determine an error condition associated with a set of layers of a protocol stack. The device may generate feedback indicating a cause for the determined error condition and transmit the feedback indicating the error cause. The feedback may be a NAC that includes a first quantity of bits configured for indicating an existence of an error and a second quantity of bits configured for indicating the error cause. A format of the NAC frame may include bits configured to identify multiple types of error causes associated with the different layers of the protocol stack.
