FIRST NODE, SECOND NODE AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK FOR HANDLING TRANSMISSION OF ONE OR MORE PACKETS FROM A SENDING NODE TO A RECEIVING NODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17919525 titled 'FIRST NODE, SECOND NODE AND METHODS PERFORMED THEREBY IN A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK FOR HANDLING TRANSMISSION OF ONE OR MORE PACKETS FROM A SENDING NODE TO A RECEIVING NODE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a first node in a communications network for handling the transmission of packets from a sending node to a receiving node. The first node determines whether or not to duplicate the packets and sends either the original packets or the duplicates over a Backhaul Adaptation Protocol (BAP) layer or Backhaul Radio Link Channels to a second node in the network.

  • The method is performed by a first node in a communications network.
  • The network includes at least one intermediate node between the sending and receiving nodes.
  • The first node determines whether to duplicate the packets or not.
  • The first node sends either the original packets or the duplicates over a BAP layer or Backhaul Radio Link Channels to a second node.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in various communication networks, such as wireless networks or internet networks.
  • It can be used to improve the reliability and efficiency of packet transmission between nodes in the network.

Problems Solved

  • The method addresses the problem of packet loss or transmission errors in a communications network.
  • By duplicating packets, the method ensures that at least one copy of the packet reaches the receiving node, increasing the chances of successful transmission.

Benefits

  • The method improves the reliability of packet transmission by duplicating packets.
  • It enhances the efficiency of the network by utilizing the BAP layer or Backhaul Radio Link Channels for transmission.
  • By reducing packet loss and errors, the method improves the overall performance and user experience of the network.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a first node (), for handling transmission of one or more packets from a sending node () to a receiving node (). The first node () operates in a communications network (). The communications network () comprises at least one intermediate node () between the sending node () and the receiving node (). The first node () determines () whether or not to duplicate the one or more packets between the first node () and a second node () comprised in the communications network (). The first node () then sends (), based on a result of the determination, at least one of the one or more packets and the one or more duplicates, over a Backhaul Adaptation Protocol, BAP, layer, or one or more Backhaul Radio Link Channels between the first node () and the second node ().
