DOWNLINK CONGESTION CONTROL OPTIMIZATION: abstract simplified (17698513)
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described in this abstract. It explains how a receiving device, such as a user equipment (UE), can reduce packet congestion in wireless communications with a transmitting device, such as a server, through a radio access network (RAN).
The receiving device measures congestion metrics, which include RAN congestion metrics and transport or application layer congestion metrics, to assess the congestion associated with receiving data packets from the transmitting device via the RAN.
Based on these measured congestion metrics, the receiving device estimates the level of packet congestion at its end. It then modifies the connection parameters of the network connection between the receiving device and the transmitting device accordingly.
Finally, the receiving device communicates with the transmitting device over the network connection using the modified connection parameters.
