Samsung patents data compression for 5G group messaging
Samsung has filed a patent application for a method to compress data headers when multiple devices receive the same information in a 5G network. The technique is designed to work when phones are in a low-power 'inactive' state, allowing them to receive group broadcasts without fully reconnecting to the network.
In the filing’s own words
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system (or a mobile communication system) for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Specifically, the disclosure relates to an apparatus, a method and a system for header compression for multicast reception in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state in wireless communication system (or mobile communication system).
