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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240163717 titled 'LATENCY MANAGEMENT FOR INTEGRATED ACCESS AND BACKHAUL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes technology for an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node in an IAB network. The IAB 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.

  • Decoding of resource requests at a distributed unit of the IAB node.
  • Encoding of resource requests at a mobile terminal of the IAB node.
  • Transmission of resource requests prior to the receipt of a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) at the distributed unit of the IAB node.

Potential Applications

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

Problems Solved

1. Efficient decoding and encoding of resource requests in an IAB network. 2. Timely transmission of resource requests to optimize network performance.

Benefits

1. Enhanced network performance. 2. Improved resource allocation. 3. Increased efficiency in managing network resources.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized resource management in 5G networks.

Possible Prior Art

Previous technologies may have focused on resource allocation in wireless networks, but the specific method of decoding and encoding resource requests in an IAB node as described in this patent application may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact network latency?

The abstract does not provide information on the potential effects of this technology on network latency.

What are the scalability considerations for implementing this technology in large-scale networks?

The abstract does not address the scalability of this technology for deployment in networks with a high number of nodes and users.


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.
