CONFIGURING A USER PLANE (UP) PROTOCOL LAYER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240314229 titled 'CONFIGURING A USER PLANE (UP) PROTOCOL LAYER

The abstract describes a method involving a protocol stack with multiple layers, including a first layer and a second layer. The first layer generates a protocol data unit (PDU) for a specific data flow, while the second layer receives the PDU and associated information. The second layer then either determines a sublayer configuration for subsequent PDUs in the same data flow based on the received information, or provides the information to another layer for the same purpose.

The method involves a protocol stack with multiple layers, each performing specific functions in data transmission.
The first layer generates protocol data units (PDUs) for individual data flows.
The second layer processes the PDUs and associated information to optimize data flow configurations.
The second layer can either determine sublayer configurations based on received information or pass the information to another layer for configuration.
This method enhances data flow efficiency and optimization within a protocol stack.

Potential Applications: - Network communication protocols - Data transmission optimization - Protocol stack management

Problems Solved: - Efficient data flow management - Optimized protocol stack configurations

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Data Flow Efficiency with Protocol Stack Optimization" This technology can be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, networking, and data management systems. It can improve data transmission speeds, reduce latency, and enhance overall network performance.

Questions about Protocol Stack Optimization: 1. How does this method improve data flow efficiency within a protocol stack? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in network communication systems?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in protocol stack optimization and data flow management to ensure optimal performance in network systems.

Original Abstract Submitted

a method including a protocol stack including a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers comprising-including a first layer and a second layer. the first layer generating a first protocol data unit (pdu) associated with a first data flow. the second layer obtaining the first pdu and information about the first pdu. further, the method includes the second layer either i) determining, based on the information about the first pdu, a sublayer configuration to be applied to at least one or more pdus associated with the first data flow or ii) providing to another layer the information about the first pdu so that the another layer can determine, based on the information, the sublayer configuration to be applied to the one or more pdus associated with the first data flow.
