NETWORK RESILIENCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18575276 titled 'NETWORK RESILIENCE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an apparatus that can act as a base station central unit control plane node, managing protocol connections with client nodes.
- The apparatus can set up a protocol connection with a client node in an inactive state, where it does not actively serve the client node.
- It can synchronize user equipment contexts from another control plane node while the protocol connection is inactive.
- The apparatus can switch the protocol connection to an active state and start controlling the client node upon receiving an external instruction.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Apparatus functions as a base station central unit control plane node.
- Can set up and control protocol connections with client nodes.
- Synchronizes user equipment contexts from other control plane nodes.
- Can switch protocol connections between active and inactive states based on external instructions.
Potential Applications: The technology can be used in telecommunications networks, specifically in managing connections between base stations and client nodes.
Problems Solved: The technology addresses the need for efficient control and management of protocol connections in wireless networks.
Benefits:
- Improved control and management of client nodes.
- Enhanced synchronization of user equipment contexts.
- Flexibility in switching protocol connections based on external instructions.
Commercial Applications: The technology could be valuable for telecommunications companies looking to optimize their network management and improve overall efficiency in handling client connections.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to base station control nodes and protocol connection management in wireless networks.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in base station control node technology and protocol connection management in wireless networks.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the apparatus handle protocol connections with client nodes in an inactive state? 2. What are the potential implications of synchronizing user equipment contexts from other control plane nodes?
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus configured to perform as a base station central unit control plane node, setup, into an inactive state, a protocol connection with at least one client node, wherein the apparatus does not control or actively serve the said client node while the protocol connection is in the inactive state, synchronize, while the protocol connection is in the inactive state, at least one control plane user equipment context of the base station from a second base station central unit control plane node which controls the at least one client node, and responsive to receiving an instruction from outside the apparatus, switch the protocol connection into an active state and begin controlling the at least one client node. The apparatus may serve user equipments directly or indirectly.
