Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a processor located in an interface which divides layers of a base station. The processor is configured to receive a first message transmitted from a first layer which is one of a next lower layer and a next upper layer, interpret the first message and transmit an interpreted message to a second layer which is the other layer, generate a second message based on the interpreted message, transmit the second message to the second layer, and control timing of transmitting the second message.
Claims21
An electronic apparatus comprising a processor, the processor being connected to an interface between a first layer and a second layer, the first layer and the second layer being layers in a protocol stack of a base station defined by a communication standard, and the processor being configured to:
- receive a first message transmitted from the first layer;
- interpret the first message and transmit an interpreted first message to the second layer;
- generate a second message based on the interpreted first message, the second message being different from the interpreted first message;
- control to set a timing at which the second message is to be transmitted to the second layer;
- and
- transmit the second message to the second layer based on the timing having been set,
- wherein:
- the processor is configured to extract a parameter from the first message based on the interpreted first message, and to generate the second message based on the parameter, or
- the processor is configured to generate a message related to schedule information of a protocol used in the interface as the second message, or
- the processor is configured to generate a message related to a scheduling request of a communication protocol used in the interface and defined by a mobile communication system as the second message.
A method of an electronic apparatus connected to an interface between a first layer and a second layer, the first layer and the second layer being layers in a protocol stack of a base station defined by a communication standard, and the method comprising:
- receiving, by the electronic apparatus, a first message transmitted from the first layer;
- analyzing, by the electronic apparatus, the first message and transmitting an interpreted first message to the second layer;
- generating, by the electronic apparatus, a second message based on the interpreted first message, the second message being different from the interpreted first message;
- controlling, by the electronic apparatus, to set a timing at which the second message is to be transmitted to the second layer;
- and
- transmitting, by the electronic apparatus, the second message to the second layer based on the timing having been set,
- wherein the generating the second message comprises:
- extracting a parameter from the first message based on the interpreted first message, and generating the second message based on the parameter, or
- generating a message related to schedule information of a protocol used in the interface as the second message, or
- generating a message related to a scheduling request of a communication protocol used in the interface and defined by a mobile communication system as the second message.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions for a computer connected to an interface between a first layer and a second layer, the first layer and the second layer being layers in a protocol stack of a base station defined by a communication standard, and the instructions being executed by the computer to control the computer to:
- receive a first message transmitted from the first layer;
- interpret the first message and transmit an interpreted first message to the second layer;
- perform generation of a second message based on the interpreted first message, the second message being different from the interpreted first message;
- control to set a timing at which the second message is to be transmitted to the second layer;
- and
- transmit the second message to the second layer based on the timing having been set,
- wherein the generation of the second message comprises:
- extracting a parameter from the first message based on the interpreted first message, and generating the second message based on the parameter, or
- generating a message related to schedule information of a protocol used in the interface as the second message, or
- generating a message related to a scheduling request of a communication protocol used in the interface and defined by a mobile communication system as the second message.
