Inter-layer communications in wireless networks including a high latency connection
First Claim
1. A method for interfacing a User Equipment (UE) to a Core Network (CN), the method comprising:
- providing a high latency connection;
providing a satellite network portal (SNP) to connect to the UE via a satellite link, wherein the SNP comprises a Media Access Control (MAC) layer for managing the satellite link and a Radio Layer Control (RLC) layer of the UE;
interfacing the UE to the CN with a Point of Presence (POP) comprising a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer of the UE; and
establishing a session between the CN and the UE via the RRC layer, the PDCP layer and the RLC layer,whereinnetwork traffic, between the SNP and the POP, over the high latency connection has a latency greater than 10 milliseconds (ms),the session does not timeout due to the latency of the high latency connection, andthe MAC layer schedules bandwidth for the establishing over the satellite link.

Abstract
A system and method for interfacing a User Equipment (UE) to a Core Network (CN) is disclosed. The method including: providing a high latency connection; providing a satellite network portal (SNP) to connect to the UE via a satellite link, wherein the SNP includes a Media Access Control (MAC) layer for managing the satellite link and a Radio Layer Control (RLC) layer of the UE; interfacing the UE to the CN with a Point of Presence (POP) including a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE and a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer of the UE; and establishing a session between the CN and the UE via the RRC layer, the PDCP layer and the RLC layer. In the method, network traffic, between the SNP and the POP, over the high latency connection has a latency greater than 10 milliseconds (ms), the session does not timeout due to the latency of the high latency connection, and the MAC layer schedules bandwidth for the establishing over the satellite link.
