RELIABLE DATA DELIVERY OVER NON-ACCESS STRATUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18100588 titled 'RELIABLE DATA DELIVERY OVER NON-ACCESS STRATUM

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method and system for delivering data to a wireless communication device (WCD) in a communication network. The method involves the following steps:

  • Obtaining capability information: The mobility management node obtains information about whether the radio access network (RAN) node supports acknowledgement of successful data delivery to the WCD.
  • Receiving data message: The mobility management node receives a data message from a network entity (NE) that contains user data intended for the WCD.
  • Sending control plane message: The mobility management node sends a control plane message to the RAN node, including the user data, for further delivery to the WCD.
  • Sending response: The mobility management node sends a response to the NE, indicating the outcome of the data delivery.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile communication networks: The method can be applied in various mobile communication networks to ensure efficient and reliable delivery of data to wireless communication devices.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): The method can be used in IoT networks to deliver data to IoT devices, ensuring reliable communication and data transfer.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Data delivery reliability: The method ensures that data sent to a WCD is successfully delivered by checking the capability of the RAN node and providing acknowledgement to the NE.
  • Efficient data transfer: By using a control plane message, the method optimizes the delivery process, reducing latency and improving overall efficiency.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved reliability: By obtaining capability information and providing acknowledgement, the method enhances the reliability of data delivery to WCDs.
  • Reduced latency: The use of control plane messages enables faster data transfer, reducing latency and improving the overall user experience.
  • Enhanced network efficiency: The method optimizes the data delivery process, improving network efficiency and resource utilization.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure is directed to a method in a mobility management node and such a node for delivering data to a wireless communication device (WCD) served by the mobility management node, operating in a communication network comprising a network entity (NE) and a radio access network (RAN) node serving the WCD, the method comprises: obtaining capability information indicating whether the RAN node supports acknowledgement of a successful delivery of data to the WCD; receiving a data message sent by the NE comprising user data intended for the WCD; sending a control plane message comprising the user data to the RAN node for further delivery to the WCD; sending a response to the NE indicating the outcome of the data delivery.
