PROTECTION OF BAP TRANSMISSIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18578796 titled 'PROTECTION OF BAP TRANSMISSIONS

The abstract describes a method performed by a first node to ensure backhaul integrity protection and verification for data packets transmitted over a backhaul link using the Backhaul Adaptation Protocol (BAP).

  • Obtaining a configuration for backhaul integrity protection and verification for BAP data protocol data unit (PDU) packets.
  • Computing a security token to be included in a BAP data PDU.
  • Adding the security token to the BAP data PDU.
  • Transmitting the BAP data PDU with the security token to a second IAB node.

Potential Applications: - Secure data transmission over backhaul links in communication networks. - Enhancing the reliability and integrity of data packets in wireless communication systems.

Problems Solved: - Ensuring the security and authenticity of data packets transmitted over backhaul links. - Preventing unauthorized access or tampering of data during transmission.

Benefits: - Improved data security and integrity in wireless communication systems. - Enhanced protection against cyber threats and data breaches.

Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Backhaul Data Transmission Technology This technology can be applied in telecommunications, IoT devices, and other wireless communication systems to ensure secure and reliable data transmission over backhaul links. It can be marketed to network operators, IoT companies, and organizations requiring secure data transfer.

Questions about Secure Backhaul Data Transmission Technology: 1. How does this technology improve data security in wireless communication systems? - This technology enhances data security by providing backhaul integrity protection and verification for data packets transmitted over backhaul links, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the data. 2. What are the potential risks associated with backhaul data transmission without proper integrity protection? - Without proper integrity protection, data transmitted over backhaul links is vulnerable to unauthorized access, tampering, and cyber threats, leading to potential data breaches and security risks.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a first node includes obtaining a configuration for performing backhaul integrity protection and verification for backhaul adaptation protocol, BAP, data protocol data unit, PDU, packets transmitted and/or received over a backhaul link. The method includes computing a security token to be included in a BAP data PDU to be transmitted. The method includes adding the security token in the BAP data PDU. The method includes transmitting the BAP data PDU with the security token towards a second IAB node.
