LATENCY MANAGEMENT FOR INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18423754 titled 'LATENCY MANAGEMENT FOR INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a technology for an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node in an IAB network. The node can decode resource requests from user equipment (UE) or child IAB nodes and encode resource requests for transmission to parent IAB nodes or IAB donors.

  • The IAB node can decode resource requests from UE or child IAB nodes.
  • The IAB node can encode resource requests for transmission to parent IAB nodes or IAB donors.
  • The second resource request is transmitted before the receipt of a protocol data unit (PDU) at the distributed unit (DU) of the IAB node.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in wireless communication networks to improve the efficiency of resource allocation and management in IAB networks.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient decoding and encoding of resource requests in IAB nodes. 2. Improved communication between different nodes in an IAB network.

Benefits

1. Enhanced network performance and resource utilization. 2. Streamlined communication processes within the network.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized resource management in IAB networks can benefit telecommunications companies, network equipment manufacturers, and providers of wireless communication services.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in the field of wireless communication networks may include technologies related to resource allocation and management in network nodes.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact the overall network latency in IAB networks?

The abstract does not provide specific details on how this technology affects network latency in IAB networks.

What are the potential security implications of implementing this technology in IAB networks?

The abstract does not address the security aspects of deploying this technology in IAB networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Technology for an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node in an IAB network is disclosed. The IAB node can decode, at a distributed unit (DU) of the IAB node, a first resource request received from one of a user equipment (UE) or a child IAB node, wherein the first resource request is associated with the UE. The IAB node can encode, at a mobile terminal (MT) of the IAB node, a second resource request for transmission to the parent IAB node or the IAB donor triggered by receipt of the first resource request, wherein the second resource request is transmitted prior to a receipt of a protocol data unit (PDU) at the DU of the IAB node.
