IMPROVEMENT IN NETWORK CODING FOR HANDOVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106565 titled 'IMPROVEMENT IN NETWORK CODING FOR HANDOVER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for network coding for handover. Here are the key points of the innovation:
- Base station (BS) transmits encoded packets to a first Road Side Unit (RSU) over a first Radio Access Network (RAN) interface.
- BS initiates a handover procedure between the first RSU and a second RSU.
- BS receives release acknowledgment and feedback from the first RSU.
- BS transmits network coding level information to the second RSU over a second RAN interface based on the feedback.
- Network coding level information indicates missing encoded packets for the second RSU to transmit to the UE.
- BS transmits a second group of encoded packets associated with the missing packets to the UE.

Original Abstract Submitted
apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for network coding for handover are disclosed herein. a base station (bs) transmits a first group of encoded packets to a first road side unit (rsu) over a first radio access network (ran) interface. the bs initiates a handover procedure between the first rsu and a second rsu. the bs receives, from the first rsu, a release acknowledgment associated with the handover procedure and feedback associated with the first group of encoded packets. the bs transmits network coding level information to the second rsu over a second ran interface based on the feedback. the network coding level information indicates a number of missing encoded packets within the first group of encoded packets for the second rsu to transmit to the ue. the bs transmits, to the ue, a second group of encoded packets associated with the number of missing encoded packets at the second rsu.
