Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for flow control. The method which may be performed by a first radio device comprises generating a first flow control message based at least in part on flow control information per flow control group. The method further comprises transmitting the first flow control message to a second radio device.
Claims16
A method performed by a first radio device in an Integrated Access Backhaul, IAB, network, comprising:
- generating a first flow control message based at least in part on flow control information per flow control group, where the generation of the first flow control message is periodical or in response to a trigger event;
- and
- transmitting the first flow control message to a second radio device;
- wherein the flow control group includes one or more of the group consisting of:
- one or more radio link control, RLC, channels;
- one or more user equipment;
- one or more data flows;
- one or more data radio bearers;
- one or more logical channels;
- and
- one or more services;
- and
- wherein the first flow control message comprises one or more fields to indicate:
- status information of data packets for the flow control group;
- wherein the flow control group is determined according to a group configuration rule which is related to:
- RLC channel information;
- wherein the group configuration rule indicates whether the flow control group is configured for a link, or across multiple links, or for a path between a source device and a destination device.
