METHODS, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEMS FOR UE COOPERATION WITH UE RELAYING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18450454 titled 'METHODS, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEMS FOR UE COOPERATION WITH UE RELAYING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application related to enabling relay-based user equipment (UE) cooperation in a wireless communication network. It involves signaling and configuration of a relay link for UC bearer traffic, which includes UC bearer attributes such as split bearer or duplicated bearer.
- The patent application focuses on enabling cooperation between a group of UE devices through relay-based communication.
- An adaptation protocol is used to process UC bearer traffic, which includes UC bearer attributes.
- The UC bearer can be either a split bearer or a duplicated bearer, as indicated in the UC bearer attributes.
- The wireless network connectivity available for a relay link is determined, and the adaptation protocol is chosen based on this connectivity.
- Signaling is used to configure the relay link according to the determined connectivity and adaptation protocol.
- A UE device can receive signaling to configure itself for a relay link and can then communicate traffic between a remote UE and the wireless communication network over the relay link.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be applied in scenarios where multiple UE devices need to cooperate and communicate with each other through relay links.
- It can be useful in situations where direct communication between UE devices and the network is not feasible or efficient.
Problems Solved:
- The technology solves the problem of enabling cooperation between a group of UE devices by utilizing relay-based communication.
- It addresses the challenge of processing UC bearer traffic and configuring relay links based on the available connectivity.
Benefits:
- Enables efficient cooperation between UE devices by utilizing relay-based communication.
- Provides flexibility in choosing the adaptation protocol based on the available wireless network connectivity.
- Enhances the overall performance and reliability of the wireless communication network by enabling relay-based UE cooperation.
Original Abstract Submitted
Signaling to enable relay-based user equipment (UE) cooperation (UC) by a group of UEs, and a configuration including an adaptation protocol for processing of UC bearer traffic, are communicated in a wireless communication network. The UC bearer traffic includes a UC bearer and UC bearer attributes, and the UC bearer includes either a split bearer or a duplicated bearer indicated in the UC bearer attributes. In some embodiments, wireless network connectivity that is available for a relay link is determined, and the adaptation protocol is determined based on the determined connectivity. Signaling to enable configuration of the relay link in accordance with the connectivity and the adaptation protocol is communicated. A UE may receive signaling to configure the UE for such a relay link, and communicates traffic between a remote UE and the wireless communication network over the relay link.
