Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for partial offloading of protocol processing. An apparatus for partially offloading processing from a user equipment (UE) to a cellular radio access network (RAN) node is disclosed. An apparatus for a UE includes at least one processor configured to perform transmission control protocol and internet protocol (TCP / IP) processing and to offload only a portion of the TCP / IP processing to a cellular RAN node while maintaining the TCP protocol running end-to-end between the UE and a remote host.
