NETWORK TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AT RADIO-BASED APPLICATION PIPELINE PROCESSING SERVERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18413879 titled 'NETWORK TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AT RADIO-BASED APPLICATION PIPELINE PROCESSING SERVERS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system where networking hardware devices are selected for transmitting mid-haul and front-haul traffic in a radio-based application pipeline processing server.
- A particular networking hardware device is chosen from multiple devices for transmitting mid-haul traffic to a centralized unit.
- Mid-haul traffic is sent to the centralized unit through the selected device.
- Front-haul traffic is transmitted to a radio unit via a networking hardware device within a network function accelerator card.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Selection of networking hardware devices for transmitting different types of traffic in a radio-based application pipeline processing server.
- Utilization of network function accelerator cards for transmitting front-haul traffic to a radio unit.
- Efficient routing of mid-haul and front-haul traffic within the server.
Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in telecommunications, wireless communication systems, and network infrastructure.
Problems Solved:
- Efficient transmission of mid-haul and front-haul traffic in a radio-based application pipeline processing server.
- Optimization of network resources for improved performance.
Benefits:
- Enhanced traffic routing capabilities.
- Improved overall system efficiency.
- Better utilization of networking hardware devices.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in 5G networks, IoT systems, and data centers for optimized traffic management and network performance.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the selection of networking hardware devices impact the overall performance of the radio-based application pipeline processing server? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using network function accelerator cards for transmitting front-haul traffic?
Original Abstract Submitted
At a radio-based application pipeline processing server at which a portion of a distributed unit (DU) of a radio-based application is implemented, a particular networking hardware device is selected from among several devices (which include least one device incorporated within a network function accelerator card and at least one device which is not part of an accelerator card) for transmission of at least a portion of mid-haul traffic to a centralized unit (CU). The mid-haul traffic is transmitted to the CU via the selected device. At least a portion of front-haul traffic is transmitted to a radio unit (RU) via a networking hardware device incorporated within a network function accelerator card of the server.
