METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING NETWORK FUNCTION FOR PACKET PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18212484 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING NETWORK FUNCTION FOR PACKET PROCESSING
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves a first distributed unit (DU) in a wireless communication system configuring an inter-DU interface with a second DU, obtaining information about at least one radio unit (RU) to be migrated to the second DU, stopping resource allocation for at least one uplink packet associated with at least one user equipment (UE) connected to the first RU, and transmitting at least one downlink packet to the second DU based on the configured inter-DU interface.
- The method involves a first DU configuring an inter-DU interface with a second DU.
- Information about at least one RU to be migrated to the second DU is obtained.
- Resource allocation for at least one uplink packet associated with at least one UE connected to the first RU is stopped.
- At least one downlink packet required to be transmitted to the first RU or the UE is transmitted to the second DU.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems to efficiently manage resources and facilitate communication between distributed units.
Problems Solved
- Efficient configuration and management of inter-DU interfaces.
- Seamless migration of RUs between DUs.
- Optimal resource allocation for uplink and downlink packets.
Benefits
- Improved resource utilization.
- Enhanced communication efficiency.
- Seamless handover of RUs between DUs.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method, performed by a first distributed unit (DU), of performing communication in a wireless communication system may include performing, based on resource usage of the first DU, configuration of an inter-DU interface with a second DU requiring a connection with the first DU, obtaining information about at least one first radio unit (RU) to be migrated to the second DU from among at least one RU connected to the first DU, stopping resource allocation for at least one uplink packet associated with at least one user equipment (UE) connected to the first RU, and transmitting, based on the configured inter-DU interface, to the second DU, at least one downlink packet required to be transmitted to the first RU or the at least one UE.
