Samsung patents 5G/6G data routing method for network efficiency
Samsung describes a method for 5G or 6G networks where a specific part of data is handled by a separate 'data proxy' entity. Instead of sending the full message, the network function sends a partial message to this proxy, which processes the missing data and forwards it to the destination.
