Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for improving fronthaul timing. An example method, performed by a first network entity, includes receiving user plane (U-Plane) messages from a second network entity, maintaining at least a first counter that indicates a number of U-Plane messages for which the first network entity has not received an associated control plane (C-Plane) message, and transmitting, to the second network entity, a message indicating the counter.
Claims26
A method for wireless communications at a first network entity, comprising:
- receiving user plane (U-Plane) messages from a second network entity;
- maintaining at least a first counter that indicates a number of U-Plane messages for which the first network entity has not received an associated control plane (C-Plane) message by incrementing a value of the first counter based on a determination that the C-Plane message associated with a U-Plane message of the number of U-Plane message has not been received within a reception window;
- and
- transmitting, to the second network entity, a message indicating the first counter.
A method for wireless communications at a second network entity, comprising:
- transmitting, to a first network entity, user plane (U-Plane) messages;
- receiving, from the first network entity, a message indicating a number of U-Plane messages for which the first network entity has not received an associated control plane (C-Plane) message within a reception window;
- and
- adjusting C-Plane message transmission timing based on the indicated number.
A first network entity configured for wireless communication, comprising:
- memory comprising processor-executable instructions;
- and one or more processors configured, individually or collectively, to execute the processor-executable instructions and cause the first network entity to:
- receive user plane (U-Plane) messages from a second network entity;
- maintain at least a first counter that indicates a number of U-Plane messages for which the first network entity has not received an associated control plane (C-Plane) message by incrementing a value of the first counter based on a determination that the C-Plane message associated with a U-Plane message of the number of U-Plane message has not been received within a reception window;
- and
- transmit, to the second network entity, a message indicating the first counter.
A second network entity configured for wireless communication, comprising:
- memory comprising processor-executable instructions;
- and one or more processors configured, individually or collectively, to execute the processor-executable instructions and cause the second network entity to:
- transmit, to a first network entity, user plane (U-Plane) messages;
- receive, from the first network entity, a message indicating a number of U-Plane messages for which the first network entity has not received an associated control plane (C-Plane) message within a reception window;
- and
- adjust C-Plane message transmission timing based on the indicated number.
