METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLUSTERING IP PACKETS IN WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18319121 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CLUSTERING IP PACKETS IN WIRELESS NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for clustering Internet protocol (IP) packets in a wireless network. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves receiving a plurality of IP packets from an upper layer of a user equipment (UE) in the wireless network or vice versa.
  • Upon receiving the IP packets, a timer is initiated.
  • While the timer is running, a cluster of IP packets is formed, with a predetermined maximum size.
  • Once the formation of the cluster is completed, the timer is stopped.
  • The cluster of IP packets is then transmitted to a lower layer of the UE.
  • The lower layer treats the cluster of IP packets as a single payload to minimize the IP packets handled at the lower layer of the UE.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This technology can be applied in wireless networks to improve the efficiency of IP packet handling.
  • It can be used in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and IoT networks.
  • The clustering of IP packets can help reduce the overhead and processing requirements at the lower layers of the UE.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Clustering IP packets reduces the number of individual packets that need to be processed at the lower layers of the UE, leading to improved performance and reduced resource consumption.
  • It helps in optimizing the transmission of IP packets in wireless networks, especially in scenarios with limited bandwidth or high network congestion.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and reduced resource consumption in wireless networks.
  • Enhanced performance and reduced latency in IP packet transmission.
  • Minimization of processing requirements at the lower layers of the UE, leading to improved overall system performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method and an apparatus for clustering Internet protocol (IP) packets in a wireless network are provided. The method includes receiving, by a network device in the wireless network, a plurality of IP packets from an upper layer of a user equipment (UE) in the wireless network or vice versa, initiating a timer on receiving the plurality of IP packets from the upper layer, forming a cluster of IP packets having a predetermined maximum size while the timer is running, stopping the timer once the formation of the cluster is completed, and transmitting the cluster of IP packets to a lower layer of the UE, where the lower layer treats the cluster of IP packets as a single payload to minimize the IP packets handled at the lower layer of the UE.
