Radio Link Control Cumulative Mode for New Radio - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240195531 titled 'Radio Link Control Cumulative Mode for New Radio

The abstract of the patent application describes a user equipment (UE) that receives and stores cumulative acknowledgements (ACKs) from a protocol stack, discards outdated ACKs, and encapsulates the latest ACK into a radio link control (RLC) packet data unit (PDU) for transmission over the air.

• User equipment (UE) receives a first cumulative ACK and stores it in a queue.
• UE receives a second cumulative ACK, discards the first ACK from the queue, and encapsulates the second ACK into an RLC PDU.
• The second ACK is transmitted over the air, improving data transmission efficiency.

Potential Applications: - Wireless communication systems - Mobile networks - Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved: - Efficient handling of cumulative ACKs in a protocol stack - Optimizing data transmission over the air

Benefits: - Improved data transmission reliability - Enhanced network performance - Reduced latency in communication systems

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Data Transmission Technology for Wireless Networks" This technology can be utilized in telecommunications companies, IoT device manufacturers, and network infrastructure providers to enhance data transmission efficiency and reliability.

Prior Art: Research existing technologies related to handling cumulative ACKs in wireless communication systems and protocol stacks.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in wireless communication protocols and technologies for optimizing data transmission efficiency.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the UE determine which cumulative ACK to discard from the queue? 2. What are the potential implications of discarding outdated ACKs on overall network performance?

Original Abstract Submitted

a user equipment (ue) configured to receive a first cumulative acknowledgement (ack) from a protocol stack of the ue at a first time, store the first cumulative ack in a queue, receive a second cumulative ack from the protocol stack at a second time, wherein the second time occurs after the first time, store the second cumulative ack in the queue, discard the first cumulative ack from the queue based on the second cumulative ack being received after the first cumulative ack and encapsulate the second cumulative ack to form a radio link control (rlc) packet data unit (pdu) that is to be transmitted over the air.
