DATA PAYLOAD TRANSMISSION VIA CONTROL PLANE SIGNALING
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- determining whether at least a portion of data to be transmitted corresponds to at least one transmission condition;
if the at least a portion of data corresponds to at least one transmission condition, transmitting the at least a portion of data in a beacon signal packet in a wireless transport; and
transmitting the at least a portion of data using data plane resources in the wireless transport if the at least a portion of data does not correspond to at least one transmission condition.

Abstract
A system for implementing a communication transports in a configuration that may utilize control plane resources for the conveyance of data. A communication protocol may be originally designed to support planned data conveyance at a data plane. This strategy may improve quality of service for the transport, but may impact the execution speed of communication due to the required overhead involved in scheduling. In view of this limitation, messages that are sensitive to delay may be negatively impacted by scheduling steps occurring in mediums such as described above. Execution speed may be increased by routing certain payloads to the control plane for transmission in a beacon signal, which avoids the overhead inherent in the data plane.
