US 12,615,319 B2 · Data serialization in a communication network

Abstract

A first communication endpoint in a communication network receives signaling from a second communication endpoint in the communication network. The signaling indicates a format according to which the second communication endpoint will serialize and/or deserialize data to be communicated between the first and second communication endpoints. In some embodiments, the signaling is received during a procedure for establishing a data interface over which data is to be communicated between the first communication endpoint and the second communication endpoint. The first communication endpoint, in some embodiments, generates serialized data to be transmitted to the second communication endpoint, and/or processes serialized data received from the second communication endpoint, according to the format indicated by the received signaling.

Dependent claims

A method performed by a first communication endpoint in a communication network, the method comprising:

receiving, from a second communication endpoint in the communication network, signaling that indicates a format according to which the second communication endpoint will serialize and/or deserialize data to be communicated between the first and second communication endpoints, wherein the format according to which the second communication endpoint serializes and/or deserializes data is a second format;
and
processing serialized data received from the second communication endpoint, according to the format indicated by the received signaling, wherein the serialized data received from the second communication endpoint is serialized according to the second format, and wherein processing the serialized data received from the second communication endpoint comprises translating the received serialized data from the second format to a first format according to which the first communication endpoint serializes and/or deserializes data.

A first communication endpoint configured for use in a communication network, the first communication endpoint comprising:

communication circuitry;
and
processing circuitry configured to:
receive, via the communication circuitry, from a second communication endpoint in the communication network, signaling that indicates a format according to which the second communication endpoint will serialize and/or deserialize data to be communicated between the first and second communication endpoints, wherein the format according to which the second communication endpoint serializes and/or deserializes data is a second format;
and
process serialized data received from the second communication endpoint, according to the format indicated by the received signaling, wherein the serialized data received from the second communication endpoint is serialized according to the second format, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to translate the received serialized data from the second format to a first format according to which the first communication endpoint serializes and/or deserializes data.
