COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240244711 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
The abstract of this patent application describes a method and apparatus for communication involving multicast services.
- The method involves a multicast session management network element receiving information about a multicast service from an application server.
- This information includes details such as the service area, type, or identifier of the multicast service.
- The network element then sends the service area identifier back to the application server.
- This allows the application server to obtain the service area identifier of the multicast service without needing to know network topology information.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in telecommunications networks to efficiently manage multicast services. - It could also be applied in streaming services to optimize content delivery to specific service areas.
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of obtaining service area identifiers for multicast services. - Improves communication efficiency between network elements and application servers.
Benefits: - Streamlines the management of multicast services. - Enhances the overall performance of communication networks.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Multicast Service Management for Telecom Networks This technology could be valuable for telecom companies looking to optimize their multicast service delivery and improve network efficiency. It could also be attractive to streaming service providers seeking to enhance their content delivery capabilities.
Questions about Multicast Service Management: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of multicast service delivery? - This technology streamlines the process of obtaining service area identifiers, allowing for more efficient communication between network elements and application servers. 2. What are the potential benefits of using this method for managing multicast services? - The benefits include improved network performance, simplified service area identification, and enhanced communication efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
this disclosure provides a communication method and apparatus. the method includes: a multicast session management network element receives first information of a first multicast service from an application server, where the first information indicates at least one of the following: a first service area of the first multicast service, a type of the first multicast service, or the first multicast service. the multicast session management network element sends a service area identifier of the first multicast service to the application server based on the first information. in this way, the application server may obtain the service area identifier of the first multicast service, namely, a service area identifier (sai) of the first multicast service when the application server does not learn of network topology information.
