IP-based UE Aggregation - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240215087 titled 'IP-based UE Aggregation

The abstract describes a patent application where a first user equipment (UE) establishes a device-to-device (D2D) connection with a second UE, generates internet protocol (IP) packets for uplink (UL) transmission to a network, identifies a quality of service (QoS) flow for the packets, encapsulates each packet with a header comprising a QoS flow identifier (QFI), transmits a first portion of the encapsulated packets to the network via a first radio link, and transmits a second portion of the encapsulated packets to the second UE via the D2D connection for transmission to the network via a second radio link of the second UE.

• Establishes a D2D connection between two UEs
• Generates IP packets for UL transmission to a network
• Identifies QoS flow for the packets
• Encapsulates each packet with a QFI header
• Transmits encapsulated packets to the network via radio links
• Utilizes D2D connection for transmission to the network

Potential Applications: - Enhanced communication between UEs - Improved network efficiency - Enhanced QoS management

Problems Solved: - Efficient data transmission in wireless networks - Enhanced QoS identification and management

Benefits: - Faster and more reliable data transmission - Improved network performance - Enhanced user experience

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Wireless Communication Technology for Improved Network Performance" This technology can be applied in telecommunications, IoT devices, and mobile networking industries to enhance data transmission efficiency and improve overall network performance.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve QoS management in wireless networks? 2. What are the potential implications of using D2D connections for data transmission in mobile networks?

Original Abstract Submitted

a first user equipment (ue) is configured to establish a device-to-device (d2d) connection with a second ue, generate internet protocol (ip) packets for uplink (ul) transmission to a network and identifying a quality of service (qos) flow for the packets, encapsulate each packet with a header comprising a qos flow identifier (qfi), transmit a first portion of the encapsulated packets to the network via a first radio link and transmitting a second portion of the encapsulated packets to the second ue via the d2d connection for transmission to the network via a second radio link of the second ue.
