Multipath Configuration and Control for a Wireless Communications Network - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121842 titled 'Multipath Configuration and Control for a Wireless Communications Network

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for operating a policy control entity in a wireless communications network to provide multipath transmission with at least two data packet sessions between a content provider and a user equipment. The method involves receiving an establishment request, determining a multipath transmission policy, and transmitting a response message to set up the multipath transmission.

  • Explanation of the patent:
  • Establishment request received from a network exposure entity for setting up multipath transmission.
  • Multipath transmission policy determined for each data packet session.
  • Response message transmitted to the network exposure entity including the multipath transmission policy.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • Mobile networks
  • Content delivery systems
  • Quality of service optimization

Problems Solved

This technology solves issues related to:

  • Network congestion
  • Quality of service degradation
  • Efficient data transmission

  • Improved data transmission reliability
  • Enhanced user experience
  • Optimal resource utilization

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include:

  • Telecommunication companies
  • Content delivery networks
  • Internet service providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be:

  • Multipath transmission techniques in wired networks

What are the potential security implications of implementing multipath transmission in wireless communications networks?

Implementing multipath transmission in wireless communications networks can introduce security vulnerabilities such as:

  • Increased risk of packet interception and eavesdropping
  • Potential for unauthorized access to data transmitted over multiple paths

How does the multipath transmission policy impact the overall network performance and resource allocation?

The multipath transmission policy determines how data is distributed across multiple paths, impacting:

  • Network bandwidth utilization
  • Quality of service for different data packet sessions
  • Resource allocation efficiency across the network


Original Abstract Submitted

method for operating a policy control entity () in a wireless communications network (). in the wireless communications network () a multipath transmission with at least two data packet sessions can be provided between a content provider () and a user equipment (), where a first data packet session of the at least two data packet sessions is transmitted through the wireless communications network () over a cellular access node () and a second data packet sessions of the at least two data packet sessions is transmitted through the wireless communications network () over a non-cellular access node (). the method comprises the following steps. first an establishment request is received (ss) from a network exposure entity () to set up the multipath transmission. the establishment request comprises multipath information including a multipath indicator, indicating that the multipath transmission is requested, and a flow description for the first data packet session and the second data packet session. then, for at least the first data packet session and the second data packet session, a multipath transmission policy is determined (s, s). then, in response to the establishment request, a response message is transmitted (s) to the network exposure entity (), including the multipath transmission policy.
