METHODS, DEVICES, AND MEDIUM FOR COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271151 titled 'METHODS, DEVICES, AND MEDIUM FOR COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure relates to UP transmission for a device in an inactive mode. A first network device transmits data received from a terminal device in an inactive mode via a connection established for the terminal device between the first network device and the second network device to a second network device, and transmits, to the second network device, a first indication indicating a termination of a data transmission related with the terminal device if a first condition is met.
- Explanation:
- First network device transmits data from inactive terminal device to second network device. - First network device sends indication to second network device if data transmission termination condition is met. - Solution terminates connection for inactive terminal device between first and second network devices.
- Potential Applications:
- Efficient data transmission for inactive devices. - Improved network management for connected devices.
- Problems Solved:
- Avoids unnecessary data transmission for inactive devices. - Enhances network efficiency by terminating connections when needed.
- Benefits:
- Saves network resources. - Reduces data transmission delays.
- Potential Commercial Applications:
- IoT devices. - Network infrastructure providers.
- Possible Prior Art:
- Previous methods may not efficiently handle data transmission for inactive devices.
- Unanswered Questions:
- How does this solution impact network latency?
- Unanswered Questions:
The solution helps reduce network latency by terminating connections for inactive devices, but the exact impact on latency may vary depending on network conditions.
- What are the security implications of terminating connections for inactive devices?
Terminating connections for inactive devices may enhance security by reducing the attack surface, but it could also potentially impact device reconnection processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to UP transmission for a device in an inactive mode. A first network device transmits data received from a terminal device in an inactive mode via a connection established for the terminal device between the first network device and the second network device to a second network device, and transmits, to the second network device, a first indication indicating a termination of a data transmission related with the terminal device if a first condition is met. Through this solution, the connection established for the terminal device in the inactive mode between the first network device and the second network device to a second network device may be terminated suitable.
