METHODS, ARCHITECTURES, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR MULTI-FLOW SYNCHRONIZATION

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18706180 titled 'METHODS, ARCHITECTURES, APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR MULTI-FLOW SYNCHRONIZATION

Original Abstract Submitted

Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products are described for the synchronization of multiple traffic flows of information such as protocol data unit (PDU) flows associated with applications and/or services. In an example embodiment, a device may receive one or more forwarding configurations to use when transmitting data in multiple flows. The forwarding configurations may lead to synchronized transmission of the multiple flows such that a delay between a (e.g., last or latest) PDU in a first flow and a (e.g., last or latest) PDU in a second flow satisfies one or more parameters, such as different expected time of arrival threshold values. In some embodiments, PDUs may be associated with an application data unit (ADU) in the first flow and an ADU in the second flow.
