Samsung patents method for apps to adjust 5G data timing with network
This patent describes a way for an application to tell a 5G or 6G network when it expects to send or receive data. The app provides a range for how often it needs data and when bursts of traffic might arrive, and the network responds with specific timing settings to optimize the connection.
In the filing’s own words
The disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or 6th-generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. An application function (AF) entity in a wireless communication system is provided. The AF entity includes a transceiver and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to transmit, to a network entity, traffic schedule information including at least one of a periodicity range, and a burst arrival time (BAT) range, receive, from the network entity, information about at least one of a first periodicity and a first BAT, and adjust scheduling of an application based on the information about at least one of the first periodicity and the first BAT, wherein the information about at least one of the first periodicity and the first BAT is determined based on at least one of the periodicity range and the BAT range.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An application function (AF) entity in a wireless communication system, the AF entity comprising: a transceiver; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: transmit, to a base station via at least one network entity, information for traffic scheduling, wherein the information for traffic scheduling includes a periodicity range and a burst arrival time (BAT) range, the periodicity range indicates a range of a periodicity configured to be adjusted by the AF entity, and the BAT range indicates a range of a BAT configured to be adjusted by the AF entity, receive, from the base station via the at least one network entity, a response including information on a first periodicity for adjusting the periodicity for traffic transmission and information on a first BAT for adjusting the BAT for traffic transmission, and adjust scheduling of an application based on the information on the first periodicity and the information on the first BAT, wherein the information on the first periodicity and the information on the first BAT are determined in the periodicity range and the BAT range.
