METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DATA VOLUME COUNTING: abstract simplified (18019272)
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18019272 Titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DATA VOLUME COUNTING'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods and devices that assist in direct device-to-device (D2D) communications. Specifically, it explains a method performed by a relay user equipment (UE) where the relay UE monitors the amount of data traffic it is handling. It then determines the size of the data traffic volume that is related to itself (the relay UE) and the size of the data traffic volume that is related to a remote UE connected to it.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatus supportive to D2D communications are disclosed. A method performed by a relay user equipment, relay UE, comprises: monitoring a data traffic volume at the relay UE; and determining a size of a first portion of the data traffic volume related to the relay UE, and a size of a second portion of the data traffic volume related to a remote UE that is connected to the relay UE.
