Abstract
Systems and methods described herein provide for intelligent differentiated retransmissions in Radio Access Networks (RANs), such as Fifth Generation New Radio (5G-NR) networks, to provide consistent low latency for different service requirements. A network device determines if consistent low latency is required for a communication session requested by a user equipment (UE) device. The network device selects, based on the determining, retransmission settings for the communication session and sends the retransmission settings to an access station of a radio access network (RAN).
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a network device, if consistent low latency is required for a communication session requested by a user equipment (UE) device;
- selecting, by the network device and based on the determining, retransmission settings for the communication session, wherein, when it is determined that consistent low latency is not required for the communication session, the retransmission settings include Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) instructions for a PDCP layer;
- and
- sending, by the network device and to an access station of a radio access network (RAN), the retransmission settings.
A network device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- determine if consistent low latency is required for a communication session requested by a user equipment (UE) device;
- select, based on the determining, retransmission settings for the communication session, wherein, when it is determined that consistent low latency is not required for the communication session, the retransmission settings include Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) instructions for a PDCP layer;
- and
- send, to an access station of a radio access network (RAN), the retransmission settings.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions executable by at least one processor, the computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions to cause the at least one processor to:
- determine if consistent low latency is required for a communication session requested by a user equipment (UE) device;
- select, based on the determining, retransmission settings for the communication session, wherein, when it is determined that consistent low latency is not required for the communication session, the retransmission settings include Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) instructions for a PDCP layer;
- and
- send, to an access station of a radio access network (RAN), the retransmission settings.
