LOAD REPORTING IN BACKHAUL COMMUNICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17735478 titled 'LOAD REPORTING IN BACKHAUL COMMUNICATIONS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications.

  • The disclosure focuses on enhanced load reporting between network entities.
  • Load reporting can be done by a distributed unit (DU) to a centralized unit (CU) or by a CU to another CU.
  • The CU can provide triggering events to the DU or a second CU, which can then trigger the provisioning of a load report to the CU.
  • This allows the DU or second CU to initiate a load report without relying on periodic reporting criteria.
  • The DU can also initiate a load report to the CU without being configured with triggering events.
  • The DU can report measurements associated with a communications load involving both a parent network entity (CU) and at least one child network entity (user equipment).


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Aspects of the disclosure relate to enhanced load reporting between network entities (e.g., provided by a distributed unit (DU) to a centralized unit (CU) or by a CU to another CU). In some examples, the CU may provide one or more triggering events which may be used by the DU (or a second CU) to trigger the provisioning of a load report to the CU. Accordingly, the DU (or second CU) may be able to initiate a load report without relying on periodic reporting criteria. In some examples, the DU may initiate a load report to the CU without being configured with triggering events. In some examples, a DU may report measurements made associated with a communications load involving communications with both a parent network entity (e.g., a CU) and at least one child network entity (e.g., a user equipment).
