SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTICAST SERVICES IN AN EDGE COMPUTING FRAMEWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236622 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MULTICAST SERVICES IN AN EDGE COMPUTING FRAMEWORK

The abstract describes a patent application for a multi-access edge computing (MEC) device that works in conjunction with a base station to efficiently deliver data to multiple user equipment (UE) devices.

  • The MEC device can determine when data needs to be sent to multiple UE devices via multicast through the base station.
  • It assesses the signal quality values of the UE devices to select a subset of devices for data delivery.
  • The selected subset receives the data via multicast, while the delivery to non-selected UE devices is delayed or terminated.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in scenarios where data needs to be efficiently distributed to multiple devices simultaneously. - It can be useful in situations where real-time data delivery is crucial, such as in emergency response systems or live event broadcasting.

Problems Solved: - Efficient and optimized data delivery to multiple devices. - Reduction of network congestion and bandwidth usage.

Benefits: - Improved data delivery efficiency. - Enhanced network performance. - Better utilization of resources.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Efficient Data Delivery Technology for Multi-Device Networks" This technology can be utilized in industries such as telecommunications, media streaming, IoT, and smart city infrastructure for optimized data distribution to multiple devices.

Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the field of edge computing, multicast communication, and network optimization to explore related technologies and innovations.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in edge computing, multicast protocols, and network optimization techniques to enhance the efficiency of data delivery in multi-device networks.

Questions about Multi-Access Edge Computing: 1. How does this technology improve data delivery efficiency in comparison to traditional methods? 2. What are the key factors considered when selecting a subset of UE devices for data delivery via multicast?


Original Abstract Submitted

a multi-access edge computing (mec) device, associated with a base station, may include a processor configured to receive a request to send data to a plurality of user equipment (ue) devices. the mec device may be further configured to determine that the data is to be delivered to the plurality of ue devices by the base station via multicast; determine signal quality values for the plurality of ue devices; select a subset of the plurality of ue devices based on the determined signal quality values; and send, using the base station, the data to the selected subset of the plurality of ue devices via multicast, and delaying or terminating delivery of the requested data to ue devices, of the plurality of ue devices, that are not in the selected subset.
