Samsung patents faster data handling for 5G and 6G networks

Samsung has filed a patent for a method that speeds up data processing in next-generation wireless systems. The invention combines multiple data packets into a single unit before encrypting them, which reduces the workload on the device's processor.

Why it mattersThis technical optimization could help mobile devices handle high-speed data more efficiently, potentially improving battery life or network responsiveness.

In the filing’s own words

The disclosure relates to a 5th generation (5G) or 6 th generation (6G) communication system for supporting a higher data rate than that of a beyond-4G communication system such as Long-term evolution (LTE). A method and an apparatus for improving procedures that have high data processing complexity or require a lot of time for data processing in a next-generation mobile communication system are provided.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer of a transmission device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer, PDCP service data units (SDUs); identifying SDAP data protocol data units (PDUs) and SDAP control PDUs from the PDCP SDUs; performing concatenation of at least one first PDCP SDU to generate concatenated data, wherein the concatenation is not applied to at least one second PDCP SDU including the SDAP control PDUs; applying at least one operation of integrity protection or ciphering for the concatenated data, based on security key information; and submitting, a lower layer, at least one PDCP PDU including the concatenated data for which the at least one operation is applied.
