RELAY NODE IDENTIFIER UPDATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489242 titled 'RELAY NODE IDENTIFIER UPDATE

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to wireless communication and specifically to a method for configuring a relay service in a wireless network. Here are the key points:

  • A network entity receives information from a relay node via a radio access link, indicating a link layer identifier of the relay node associated with a relay service.
  • The relay node is associated with a radio access identifier.
  • The network entity configures a relay service with the relay node and a remote node using a mapping between the radio access identifier and the link layer identifier.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved wireless communication: This method allows for efficient configuration of relay services in wireless networks, which can enhance the overall communication performance.
  • Extended coverage: By using relay nodes, the network can extend its coverage area, allowing for better connectivity in areas with weak signals.
  • Network optimization: The mapping between radio access identifiers and link layer identifiers enables the network entity to optimize the routing and resource allocation for relay services.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Complex relay service configuration: Configuring relay services in wireless networks can be challenging, especially when dealing with multiple relay nodes. This method simplifies the configuration process by using a mapping between identifiers.
  • Limited coverage: In areas with weak signals or coverage gaps, traditional wireless networks may struggle to provide reliable connectivity. The use of relay nodes helps overcome these limitations by extending the coverage area.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced connectivity: By configuring relay services efficiently, this technology improves the connectivity and reliability of wireless networks, ensuring a better user experience.
  • Cost-effective solution: Instead of deploying additional infrastructure, relay nodes can be used to extend coverage, reducing the need for costly network expansion.
  • Flexibility and scalability: The mapping between identifiers allows for easy addition or removal of relay nodes, making the network more flexible and scalable to accommodate changing demands.


Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network entity may receive, from a relay node via a radio access link, information indicating a link layer identifier of the relay node associated with a relay service, wherein the relay node is associated with a radio access identifier. The network entity may configure a relay service with the relay node and a remote node using a mapping between the radio access identifier and the link layer identifier. Numerous other aspects are described.
