METHOD FOR MULTICAST COMMUNICATION, FIRST NETWORK DEVICE, AND SECOND NETWORK DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157275 titled 'METHOD FOR MULTICAST COMMUNICATION, FIRST NETWORK DEVICE, AND SECOND NETWORK DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for multicast communication between network devices. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • The method involves two network devices, a first network device and a second network device.
  • The first network device sends information to the second network device, indicating an association between multicast service information and a first terminal device.
  • The first network device receives information from the second network device.
  • Based on this information, the first network device generates a configuration message that indicates an association between the multicast service information and a first logical channel.
  • The first logical channel is a logical channel of the first terminal device.
  • Finally, the first network device sends the configuration message to the first terminal device.

Potential Applications:

  • This method can be applied in various multicast communication scenarios, such as video streaming, online gaming, or real-time data distribution.
  • It can be used in both wired and wireless networks, enabling efficient and reliable multicast communication.

Problems Solved:

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently associating multicast service information with specific terminal devices.
  • It simplifies the configuration process by automatically generating the necessary configuration message based on the received information.

Benefits:

  • The method improves the efficiency of multicast communication by ensuring that the multicast service information is properly associated with the intended terminal devices.
  • It reduces the manual configuration effort required, as the configuration message is automatically generated.
  • The method enhances the overall reliability and performance of multicast communication in network environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for multicast communication, a first network device, and a second network device. The method includes: a first network device sends first information to a second network device, where the first information indicates an association relationship between multicast service information and a first terminal device; the first network device receives second information from the second network device; the first network device generates a configuration message based on the second information, where the configuration message indicates an association relationship between the multicast service information and a first logical channel, and the first logical channel is a logical channel of the first terminal device; and the first network device sends the configuration message to the first terminal device.
