METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING SMALL DATA TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18269146 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING SMALL DATA TRANSMISSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a communication method and system that combines a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system with Internet of Things (IoT) technology. This technology can be used for various intelligent services such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security, and safety services.

  • The method involves a base station of a wireless communication system receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message from a user equipment in an inactive mode to a distributed unit (DU) of the base station.
  • The DU then transmits a first message to a centralized unit-control plane (CU-CP) of the base station, which includes indicator information related to the transmission of the uplink data and identifier information of a data radio bearer (DRB) corresponding to the uplink data.
  • The uplink data is then transmitted to a user plane function (UPF) based on the first message.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Smart home: This technology can enable seamless communication between various IoT devices in a smart home, allowing for automated control and monitoring of appliances, security systems, and energy usage.
  • Smart building: The communication method and system can be used to integrate IoT devices in a building, enabling efficient management of lighting, HVAC systems, occupancy monitoring, and security.
  • Smart city: By converging 5G and IoT technology, this system can facilitate the implementation of smart city solutions, including intelligent transportation systems, environmental monitoring, and efficient energy management.
  • Smart car/connected car: The technology can enhance the connectivity and communication capabilities of vehicles, enabling features such as remote diagnostics, real-time traffic information, and vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
  • Health care: This communication method can support the integration of IoT devices in healthcare systems, enabling remote patient monitoring, telemedicine, and efficient data transmission for medical devices.
  • Digital education: The technology can be utilized in educational settings to enhance connectivity and enable interactive learning experiences through IoT devices and applications.
  • Smart retail: By combining 5G and IoT technology, this system can enable personalized shopping experiences, inventory management, and real-time analytics for retailers.
  • Security and safety services: The communication method and system can enhance security and safety systems by enabling seamless communication between IoT devices, surveillance systems, and emergency response systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Integration of 5G and IoT: This technology solves the challenge of integrating the high data rates and capabilities of 5G with the diverse range of IoT devices and applications.
  • Efficient data transmission: The communication method ensures efficient transmission of uplink data from the user equipment to the user plane function, optimizing the overall performance of the system.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method for a base station of a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises the steps of receiving, from a user equipment in an inactive mode (INACTIVE) to a distributed unit (DU) of the base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including uplink data, transmitting from, the DU to a centralized unit-control plane (CU-CP) of the base station, a first message including at least one of indicator information related to transmission of the uplink data and identifier information of a data radio bearer (DRB) corresponding to the uplink data, and transmitting the uplink data to a user plane function (UPF), on the basis of the first message.
