Samsung patents 5G method to stop data splitting when signal drops

Samsung describes a method for 5G networks where a main base station monitors feedback from a user's device. If the connection to a secondary base station becomes weak, the main station stops sending part of the data through that secondary link to maintain stability.

Why it mattersThis improves the reliability of high-speed mobile connections by preventing data from being routed through weak signals, which could reduce buffering for users in areas with mixed coverage.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to a 5G communication system or a 6G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4G communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). A method performed by a master node (MN) in wireless communication system and MN are provided. The method may comprise identifying whether to stop splitting one or more traffics towards a secondary node (SN) based on a received feedback message. The method may comprise in case that the feedback message indicates connection between a user equipment (UE) and the SN in poor condition, stopping splitting the one or more traffics towards the SN.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method performed by a master node (MN) in wireless communication system, the method comprising: identifying whether to stop splitting one or more traffics towards a secondary node (SN) based on a received feedback message; and in case that the feedback message indicates connection between a user equipment (UE) and the SN in poor condition, stopping splitting the one or more traffics towards the SN.
