Abstract
This disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for packet rerouting. In one embodiment, a method of packet rerouting includes receiving, by a wireless node from a donor central unit (CU), packet rerouting configuration information, and rerouting, by the wireless node, a transmission of a packet from a first transmission path to a second transmission path in response to, at least in part, the packet rerouting configuration information.
Claims19
A method of packet rerouting, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a wireless node from a donor central unit (CU), packet rerouting configuration information including an indication whether the wireless node is allowed to perform inter-donor distributed unit (DU) rerouting;
- determining, by the wireless node, that the wireless node is allowed to reroute transmission of the packet based on the indication;
- and
- rerouting, by the wireless node, a transmission of a packet from a first transmission path to a second transmission path in response to, at least in part, the packet rerouting configuration information, wherein the second transmission path includes a different donor DU than the first transmission path.
A wireless node, comprising:
- a memory storing computer code instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to communicate with the memory and to execute the computer code instructions to cause the wireless node to perform a method comprising:
- receiving, by the wireless node from a donor central unit (CU), packet rerouting configuration information and an indication whether the wireless node is allowed to perform inter-donor distributed unit (DU) rerouting;
- determining, by the wireless node, that the wireless node is allowed to reroute transmission of the packet based on the indication;
- and
- rerouting, by the wireless node, a transmission of a packet from a first transmission path to a second transmission path in response to, at least in part, the packet rerouting configuration information, wherein the second transmission path includes a different donor DU than the first transmission path.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable program medium with computer code stored thereupon, the computer code, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method comprising:
- receiving, from a donor central unit (CU), packet rerouting configuration information and an indication whether a wireless node is allowed to perform inter-donor distributed unit (DU) rerouting;
- determining that the wireless node is allowed to reroute transmission of the packet based on the indication;
- and
- rerouting a transmission of a packet from a first transmission path to a second transmission path in response to, at least in part, the packet rerouting configuration information, wherein the second transmission path includes a different donor DU than the first transmission path.
