Wireless Node PDCP Layer Segmentation for Large Data Processing

The patent divides the data transmission path into multiple radio bearers (first radio bearer for control messages, second radio bearer for user data), each with its own PDCP layer. This segmentation allows independent processing of different data types, enabling the system to handle large data packets by distributing them across multiple bearers while maintaining manageable complexity through clear functional separation.

The patent introduces a new dimension to the protocol architecture by adding a second PDCP layer specifically for user data transmission through the second radio bearer. This dimensional expansion allows the system to process large data packets that exceed the capacity of a single PDCP layer, effectively increasing data processing capacity without overwhelming the existing control plane.

The patent segments data transmission into dedicated bearers: the first radio bearer handles control messages between the wireless node and network, while the second radio bearer handles user data. Each bearer has its own PDCP layer, allowing independent optimization and management. This segmentation increases transmission capacity by enabling parallel processing of different data types while controlling complexity through clear functional boundaries.

The BAP layer serves as a universal intermediary that manages multiple radio bearers and routes data appropriately. This multi-functional layer handles both control plane and user plane traffic, providing a unified management mechanism that increases transmission capacity while abstracting the complexity of bearer management from lower layers.

The patent adds a second PDCP layer dimension specifically for user data transmission, enabling the system to handle data sizes that exceed the capacity of a single PDCP layer. This dimensional addition provides the adaptability to process large data packets by distributing them across multiple PDCP instances while maintaining the simplicity of standard PDCP processing within each layer.

The patent segments large data packets across multiple radio bearers, each processed by its own PDCP layer. This segmentation allows the system to handle data sizes exceeding the maximum processing capacity of a single PDCP layer by dividing the workload across multiple independent processing instances, thereby increasing adaptability without requiring a complete redesign of the PDCP protocol itself.
