MULTICAST TRAFFIC SCHEDULING ACROSS MULTIPLE RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17942973 titled 'MULTICAST TRAFFIC SCHEDULING ACROSS MULTIPLE RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications that enable multicast communications from a wide area network (WAN) to a local area network (LAN) using different Radio Access Technologies (RATs).
- Enables multicast communications from WAN to LAN using different RATs
- Prioritizes transmission of multicast data to user equipment (UE) based on various parameters
- Scheduler of the second RAT prioritizes multicast communications with other communications based on factors like number of clients served, QoS, bandwidth, UE capabilities, other data flows, and feedback schemes
Potential Applications
- Improved efficiency in delivering multicast communications in wireless networks
- Enhanced user experience for receiving multicast data in LAN environments
Problems Solved
- Efficient delivery of multicast communications from WAN to LAN
- Prioritization of multicast data transmission to UEs based on various parameters
Benefits
- Enhanced performance and reliability of multicast communications
- Optimal use of resources in wireless networks
- Improved user experience for receiving multicast data in LAN environments
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for multicast communications that originate at a wide area network (WAN) using a first RAT to be provided to a local area network (LAN) that uses a second RAT that is used to complete the multicast communications to a user equipment (UE). A scheduler of the second RAT may use one or more parameters associated with the multicast communications to prioritize transmission of the multicast data to one or more UEs. The scheduler of the second RAT may prioritize the multicast communications with other communications of the second RAT based on one or more of a number of clients served, a quality of service (QoS) or bandwidth of the multicast communications, a capability of the UEs, one or more other data flows, a feedback scheme associated with the multicast communications, or any combinations thereof.
