NETWORK NODE AND METHOD PERFORMED THEREIN FOR HANDLING COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18529410 titled 'NETWORK NODE AND METHOD PERFORMED THEREIN FOR HANDLING COMMUNICATION

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves a network node distributing inputs of a demodulated signal to different processing cores for decoding through message passing.

  • Network node distributes inputs of demodulated signal to different processing cores.
  • First processing core decodes a portion of the inputs through first message passing.
  • Second processing core decodes another portion of the inputs through second message passing.
  • Demodulated signal is further decoded through third message passing between processing cores over a bus according to a set schedule.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Satellite communication systems
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Efficient decoding of signals in a communication network
  • Optimizing processing resources in a network node

  • Enhanced network performance
  • Reduced processing delays

Potential Commercial Applications

The potential commercial applications of this technology could be in:

  • Telecommunication companies
  • Networking equipment manufacturers
  • IoT device manufacturers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be:

  • Existing methods for distributing and decoding signals in communication networks.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method improve network efficiency?

This method improves network efficiency by distributing the decoding process among multiple processing cores, allowing for parallel processing and faster signal decoding.

What impact does the set schedule for message passing have on overall network performance?

The set schedule for message passing ensures efficient coordination between processing cores, reducing bottlenecks and optimizing resource utilization in the network node.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a network node for handling a received signal in a communication network. The network node distributes a first number of inputs of a demodulated signal to a first processing core of at least two processing cores and a second number of inputs of the demodulated signal to a second processing core of the at least two processing cores. The network node further decodes the first number of inputs of the demodulated signal by a first message passing within the first processing core, and decodes the second number of inputs of the demodulated signal by a second message passing within the second processing core. The network node further decodes the demodulated signal by performing a third message passing between the different processing cores over a bus that is performed according to a set schedule.
