IMPROVEMENT IN NETWORK CODING FOR DUAL CONNECTIVITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18256042 titled 'IMPROVEMENT IN NETWORK CODING FOR DUAL CONNECTIVITY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for network coding for dual connectivity. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A base station (BS) sends encoded symbols from a first network coding layer to a first radio link control (RLC) layer.
- The BS transmits encoded data, comprising the encoded symbols, to a user equipment (UE).
- The BS also transmits encoded data to a road side unit (RSU) for passing to the UE as a split transmission.
- The UE can receive encoded packets from the BS and RSU at a network coding layer via a second RLC layer.
- The UE recovers source packets from the encoded packets using a rateless network code at the network coding layer.
- The UE sequences the source packets into an ordered set of source packets at the network coding layer.
- The UE sends the ordered set of source packets from the network coding layer to a packet data convergence protocol layer for processing.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Dual connectivity in wireless communication systems.
- Efficient transmission of data to user equipment using network coding.
- Split transmission to improve data delivery to user equipment.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient transmission of data in dual connectivity scenarios.
- Improved reliability and throughput in wireless communication systems.
- Effective recovery of source packets from encoded packets.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced data transmission efficiency.
- Improved reliability and throughput in wireless communication.
- Simplified processing and recovery of source packets.
- Increased flexibility in dual connectivity scenarios.
Original Abstract Submitted
Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for network coding for dual connectivity are disclosed herein. A base station (BS) sends encoded symbols from a first network coding layer to a first radio link control (RLC) layer and transmits, to a user equipment (UE), encoded data comprising the encoded symbols. The BS also transmits encoded data to a road side unit (RSU) for passing to the UE as a split transmission. The UE can receive encoded packets from the BS and RSU at a network coding layer via a second RLC layer. The UE recovers source packets from the encoded packets with a rateless network code at the network coding layer. The UE sequences the source packets into an ordered set of source packets at the network coding layer and sends the ordered set of source packets from the network coding layer to a packet data convergence protocol layer for processing.
