Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may receive application data for transmission via an additional network node. The network node may provide the application data to the additional network node, the application data having one or more indications of groupings into application data units (ADUs) added before being provided to the additional network node. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication performed by a network node, comprising:
- receiving, from an application server, application data for transmission to a user equipment (UE) via an additional network node,
- wherein receiving the application data comprises receiving metadata associated with the application data, and
- wherein the metadata comprises one or more additional indications piggybacked with a payload of the application data;
- identifying, based at least in part on the metadata, one or more groupings of the application data into application data units (ADUs);
- adding one or more indications of the one or more groupings into the ADUs;
- and
- providing the application data to the additional network node, the application data having the one or more indications of the groupings into the ADUs added, by the network node, before being provided to the additional network node,
- wherein the network node comprises one or more of:
- a service layer entity, or
- a user plane function.
A network node for wireless communication, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- receive, from an application server, application data for transmission to a user equipment (UE) via an additional network node,
- wherein the application data is received with metadata associated with the application data, and
- wherein the metadata comprises one or more additional indications piggybacked with a payload of the application data;
- identify, based at least in part on the metadata, one or more groupings of the application data into application data units (ADUs);
- add one or more indications of the one or more groupings into the ADUs;
- and
- provide the application data to the additional network node, the application data having the one or more indications of the groupings into the ADUs added before being provided to the additional network node,
- wherein the network node comprises one or more of:
- a service layer entity, or
- a user plane function.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network node, cause the network node to:
- receive, from an application server, application data for transmission to a user equipment (UE) via an additional network node,
- wherein the application data is received with metadata associated with the application data, and
- wherein the metadata comprises one or more additional indications piggybacked with a payload of the application data;
- identify, based at least in part on the metadata, one or more groupings of the application data into application data units (ADUs);
- add one or more indications of the one or more groupings into the ADUs;
- and
- provide the application data to the additional network node, the application data having the one or more indications of the groupings into the ADUs added before being provided to the additional network node,
- wherein the network node comprises one or more of:
- a service layer entity, or
- a user plane function.
