METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIGNALLING NETWORK CODING CAPABILITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17925442 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIGNALLING NETWORK CODING CAPABILITIES
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is a method for transmitting a radio resource control signaling message from a network entity to a base station in a radio access network. The signaling message indicates the capability of a user equipment to perform network coding. The method involves the following steps:
- The network entity detects a trigger event that indicates the network coding capabilities of the user equipment.
- The network entity generates a radio resource control signaling message that includes the user equipment's network coding capabilities.
- The network entity transmits the generated signaling message to the base station.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved network coding capabilities: The method allows the network entity to inform the base station about the user equipment's ability to perform network coding. This can enable the base station to optimize its network coding strategies and improve overall network performance.
- Enhanced communication efficiency: By transmitting the user equipment's network coding capabilities to the base station, the method can facilitate more efficient communication between the user equipment and the network, leading to improved data transmission rates and reduced latency.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Lack of awareness about user equipment capabilities: Without this method, the base station may not have information about the user equipment's network coding capabilities. This can result in suboptimal network coding strategies and inefficient use of network resources.
- Inefficient network coding strategies: Network coding can significantly improve the efficiency of data transmission in a network. However, without knowledge of the user equipment's capabilities, the base station may not be able to fully leverage network coding techniques, leading to reduced performance.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved network performance: By transmitting the user equipment's network coding capabilities, the method enables the base station to optimize its network coding strategies, leading to improved network performance in terms of data transmission rates, latency, and overall efficiency.
- Enhanced user experience: The method allows for more efficient communication between the user equipment and the network, resulting in improved data transmission rates and reduced latency. This can lead to a better user experience, especially in applications that require real-time or high-bandwidth data transmission.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention concerns a method of transmitting over a radio access network to a base station, by a network entity, a radio resource control signalling indicating the capability of a user equipment to perform network coding, wherein the method comprises: detecting by the network entity of a trigger event for signalling to the base station, the network coding capabilities of the user equipment; generating by the network entity a radio resource control signalling message comprising the user equipment network coding capabilities; and transmitting by the network entity of the generated radio resource control signalling message to the base station.
