Communicating encoded traffic data
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- encoding, by an electronic device, traffic data as a collection of codes;
sending, by the electronic device over a wireless link to a wireless access network node, the codes in random access resources, the codes providing an encoded representation of the traffic data; and
dividing the traffic data into plural chunks,wherein the encoding comprises applying at least one encoding function to the plural chunks to produce the corresponding codes, wherein a size of at least one of the chunks corresponds to a number of codes available for encoding the respective chunk.

Abstract
An electronic device encodes traffic data as a collection of codes. The electronic device sends the codes in random access resources or shared transmission resources over a wireless link to a wireless access network node, the codes providing an encoded representation of the traffic data.

10. A method comprising:
-
encoding, by an electronic device, traffic data as a collection of codes; sending, by the electronic device over a wireless link to a wireless access network node, the codes in random access resources, the codes providing an encoded representation of the traffic data; and dividing the traffic data into plural chunks, wherein the encoding comprises applying at least one encoding function to the plural chunks to produce the corresponding codes, and wherein; a number of codes available for encoding is the same for each chunk of the plural chunks, or a number of codes available for encoding a first of the plural chunks is different from a number of codes available for encoding a second of the plural chunks.

11. A wireless access network node comprising:
-
a wireless interface configured to receive, from an electronic device, a collection of codes in random access resources from an electronic device, the collection of codes being a representation of traffic data from the electronic device; and at least one processor configured to; produce the traffic data from the collection of codes, wherein the codes in the collection are from a first set of codes assigned for conveying traffic data; receive a further code; determine whether the further code is part of the first set of codes or a second set of codes assigned for contention-based random access; and in response to determining that the further code is part of the second set of codes, initiate a random access procedure. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A wireless access network node comprising:
-
a wireless interface configured to receive, from an electronic device, a collection of codes in random access resources from an electronic device, the collection of codes being a representation of traffic data from the electronic device; and at least one processor configured to produce the traffic data from the collection of codes, wherein the at least one processor is configured to selectively allocate further random access resources to a subset of electronic devices that are sending traffic data, wherein the selective allocation is based on a determination of whether codes received from the electronic devices meet one or more specified criteria.

21. An electronic device comprising:
-
a wireless interface to communicate wirelessly with a wireless access network node; and at least one processor to; encode traffic data as a collection of codes, wherein the traffic data is different from data communicated by the electronic device to obtain access of wireless resources of the wireless access network node; send, over a wireless link to the wireless access network node, the codes in random access resources, the codes providing an encoded representation of the traffic data, wherein the codes in the collection are from a first set of codes assigned for conveying traffic data; and send a further code from a second set of codes to use for performing a contention-based random access procedure to obtain wireless resources of the wireless access network node.
