Samsung patents method to manage data backups in multi-carrier networks
Samsung has been granted a patent for a method that helps mobile devices manage data waiting to be sent in wireless networks. The system checks if the amount of data exceeds a specific limit and sends a status report to the network if a set timer expires. This ensures the device gets the right amount of uplink resources to transmit its data efficiently.
In the filing’s own words
The present invention proposes a method of processing a buffer state report when a wireless communication system uses inter-eNB carrier aggregation technology. According to the present invention, a terminal may be provided with a proper amount of uplink resource allocations by notifying base stations of a buffer state.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving information associated with a threshold; identifying whether an amount of data is larger than the threshold based on the information; and after the identification, transmitting a buffer status report (BSR) associated with the data to at least one of a first cell group or a second cell group in case that a timer associated with the BSR is expired.
