USER EQUIPMENT AND BASE STATION INVOLVED IN TRANSMISSION OF SMALL DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18551813 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT AND BASE STATION INVOLVED IN TRANSMISSION OF SMALL DATA

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to a user equipment, UE, that determines whether to transmit small data in an inactive state or connected state based on a first data volume threshold. The UE can transmit available small data using periodic radio resources allocated in advance by a serving base station.

  • Processor determines first data volume threshold
  • Transmitter performs transmission of available small data
  • First data volume threshold used for determining transmission in inactive state using periodic radio resources
  • Not used for random-access-based transmission in inactive state

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various IoT devices, smart sensors, and other connected devices that need to efficiently transmit small amounts of data without the need for prior scheduling requests.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient transmission of small data in both inactive and connected states 2. Optimization of radio resources for small data transmission without overloading the network

Benefits

1. Improved efficiency in transmitting small data packets 2. Reduced network congestion and resource wastage 3. Enhanced overall performance of the UE in handling small data transmissions

Potential Commercial Applications

"Efficient Small Data Transmission Technology for IoT Devices"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to optimizing radio resource allocation for small data transmission in IoT devices or similar applications.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact battery life in the UE?

The abstract does not mention the impact of this technology on the battery life of the user equipment. It would be important to understand if this innovation helps in conserving battery power or if it has any adverse effects on battery performance.

What are the potential security implications of transmitting small data without prior scheduling requests?

The abstract does not address the security aspects of transmitting small data using periodic radio resources without prior scheduling requests. It would be crucial to explore any potential vulnerabilities or risks associated with this method of data transmission.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a user equipment, UE, comprising the following. A processor determines a first data volume threshold and determines to transmit small data, available for transmission, in an inactive state or in a connected state, based on a volume of the available small data and the first data volume threshold. A transmitter performs transmission of the available small data. The first data volume threshold is to be used for determining whether to perform the transmission of available small data in the inactive state using periodic radio resources that are usable for transmission of small data without a prior scheduling request from the UE, the periodic radio resources being allocated in advance by a serving base station. On the other hand, the first data volume threshold is not to be used for determining whether to perform a random-access-based transmission of available small data in the inactive state.
