OPTIMIZING SMALL DATA TRANSMISSION FOR A CLIENT DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18250135 titled 'OPTIMIZING SMALL DATA TRANSMISSION FOR A CLIENT DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes devices, methods, and computer programs for optimizing small data transmission for a client device. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The client device receives configuration information from a network node device for a small data transmission procedure.
  • The configuration information includes resources for an uplink scheduling grant for small data transmissions.
  • The client device performs small data transmissions based on the received configuration information and any subsequent updates.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile devices: Optimizing small data transmission can improve the performance and efficiency of mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): IoT devices often transmit small amounts of data, and this technology can enhance their communication capabilities.
  • Wearable devices: Devices like smartwatches and fitness trackers can benefit from optimized small data transmission for improved connectivity.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inefficient data transmission: Small data transmissions can be inefficient if not optimized, leading to wasted resources and slower communication.
  • Limited bandwidth: Optimizing small data transmission allows for better utilization of limited bandwidth, improving overall network performance.
  • Battery life: By optimizing small data transmission, the client device can conserve battery life, especially in resource-constrained devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency: Optimizing small data transmission reduces resource wastage and improves overall network efficiency.
  • Faster communication: By utilizing the available resources effectively, small data transmissions can be performed more quickly.
  • Enhanced battery life: Optimized small data transmission helps conserve battery life, allowing devices to operate for longer periods without recharging.


Original Abstract Submitted

Devices, methods and computer programs for optimizing small data transmission for a client device are disclosed. Configuration information for a small data transmission procedure is received at the client device from a network node device. The configuration information comprises set(s) of resources for a configured uplink scheduling grant for small data transmissions. The client device carries out one or more small data transmissions based on the received configuration information for the small data transmission procedure and/or subsequently received updated configuration information for the small data transmission procedure.
