UPLINK BROADCAST/MULTICAST PACKET PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18521886 titled 'UPLINK BROADCAST/MULTICAST PACKET PROCESSING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, devices, and systems for processing uplink broadcast or multicast packets from a user equipment (UE) and distributing the broadcast/multicast packets to other UEs in a network.

  • The UE receives a downlink packet from a base station containing broadcast/multicast Ethernet data for a PDU session with a data network associated with the base station.
  • The UE determines if the downlink packet corresponds to an uplink packet previously transmitted to the base station.
  • If the UE previously transmitted the corresponding uplink packet, the downlink packet is discarded.
  • If the UE did not previously transmit the corresponding uplink packet, the downlink packet is processed for the PDU session.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in mobile networks, content delivery networks, and IoT networks to efficiently distribute broadcast or multicast packets to multiple users.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient distribution of broadcast/multicast packets in a network. 2. Reducing unnecessary data processing by discarding duplicate packets.

Benefits

1. Improved network efficiency. 2. Reduced network congestion. 3. Enhanced user experience with faster data delivery.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing data transmission in 5G networks Enhancing content delivery services Improving IoT device communication

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in this field may include existing methods for managing broadcast/multicast packets in wireless networks, such as techniques for packet filtering and forwarding based on packet content.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact network latency in real-world scenarios?

The patent application does not provide specific details on the impact of this technology on network latency in practical network deployments.

What are the potential security implications of implementing this technology?

The patent application does not address the potential security risks associated with processing broadcast/multicast packets in a network environment.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, devices, and systems for processing uplink broadcast or multicast (“broadcast/multicast”) packets from a user equipment (UE) and distributing the broadcast/multicast packets to other UEs in a network. In some aspects, a UE may receive, from a base station, a downlink packet comprising broadcast or multicast (broadcast/multicast) Ethernet data for a protocol data unit (PDU) session of the UE with a data network (DN) associated with the base station, determining whether the downlink packet corresponds to an uplink packet previously transmitted to the base station by the UE, discarding the downlink packet for the PDU session based on determining that the UE previously transmitted the corresponding uplink packet comprising the broadcast/multicast Ethernet data for the PDU session to the base station, and processing the downlink packet for the PDU session based on determining that the UE did not previously transmit the corresponding uplink packet.
