Abstract
A method for reducing signaling overhead in user equipment (UE) connected to a base station is provided. The method includes: when the UE sends Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer messages to the base station, the UE compresses RRC layer messages and sends the compressed RRC layer messages to the base station; and when the UE receives the compressed RRC layer messages from the base station, the UE decompresses the compressed RRC layer messages received from the base station.
Claims20
A method for reducing signaling overhead configured to a user equipment (UE) connected to a base station, comprising:
- when the UE sends Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer messages to the base station, the UE compresses RRC layer messages and sends the compressed RRC layer messages to the base station;
- and
- when the UE receives the compressed RRC layer messages from the base station, the UE decompresses the compressed RRC layer messages received from the base station.
A method for reducing signaling overhead configured to a base station connected to a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- when the base station receives Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer messages from the UE, the base station decompresses the compressed RRC layer messages;
- and
- when the base station sends RRC layer messages to the UE, the base station compresses RRC layer messages and sends the compressed RRC layer messages to the UE.
A user equipment (UE) for reducing signaling overhead, wherein the UE is connected to a base station through a communication network, comprising:
- a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, a compression unit and a decompression unit, wherein when the UE sends RRC layer messages to the base station, the compression unit compresses the RRC layer messages and sends the compressed RRC layer messages to the base station;
- and
- when the UE receives the compressed RRC layer messages from the base station, the decompression unit decompresses the compressed RRC layer messages received from the base station.
A base station for reducing signaling overhead, wherein the base station is connected to a user equipment (UE) through a communication network, comprising:
- a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, a compression unit and a decompression unit, wherein when the base station sends RRC layer messages to the UE, the compression unit compresses the RRC layer messages and sends the compressed RRC layer messages to the UE;
- and
- when the base station receives the compressed RRC layer messages from the UE, the decompression unit decompresses the compressed RRC layer messages received from the UE.
