DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18493461 titled 'DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
- A method and apparatus for data transmission in communications technologies is described. - The method involves a distributed unit (DU) receiving a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packet data unit (PDU) from a central unit (CU), with the PDU carrying data of a multicast broadcast service (MBS). - The DU then sends the PDCP PDU to at least two terminal devices and sends a status report to the CU indicating the results of the transmission. - This technology enables efficient transmission of data from a central unit to multiple terminal devices in a multicast broadcast service scenario.
Potential Applications
- Broadcasting live events or streaming content to multiple users simultaneously. - Distributing software updates or patches to a large number of devices at once.
Problems Solved
- Efficiently transmitting data to multiple terminal devices without individual transmissions. - Ensuring reliable delivery of data to all intended recipients.
Benefits
- Reduced network congestion by sending data to multiple devices simultaneously. - Improved scalability for services that require multicast transmission. - Enhanced reliability through status reports on data transmission.
Original Abstract Submitted
Data transmission methods and apparatuses, relate to the field of communications technologies are described. In an example method, a distributed unit (DU) receives a first packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packet data unit (PDU) from a central unit (CU), where the first PDCP PDU carries data of a multicast broadcast service (MBS). The DU sends the first PDCP PDU to at least two terminal devices. The DU sends a status report to the CU, where the status report indicates results of sending the first PDCP PDU to the at least two terminal devices.
