  • Patent number: 11843967
    Abstract: An electronic device provides low latency communication for an extended reality service. Based on a first value of quality of service (QoS) requested by an extended reality (XR) application stored in the electronic device, a first communication connection corresponding to the first value for receiving data regarding an XR service from an XR server is established. Based on a change of a value of the QoS from the first value to a second value, the first communication connection is maintained, and a second communication connection corresponding to the second value is established. Data regarding the XR service from the XR server is received via the second communication connection. The second communication connection can be a radio access technology (RAT) different from the first communication connection and/or a bearer different from the first communication connection.

  • Patent number: 9642128
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for performing device-to-device communication in a wireless communication system. The method includes generating identification information of a D2D user equipment that supports the D2D communication as identification information for D2D discovery using a hash function, the identification information for discovery includes information of a first length for indicating a division region of the beacon signals and information of a second length included in the beacon. The information of a first length and the information of a second length are smaller than identification information of the D2D user equipment. Accordingly, by performing discovery for the D2D user equipment through the identification information having shorter length than prior art, and performing discovery in a range where the discovery is available through the region in which the beacon signals are allocated, advantages of performing the D2D discovery effectively are provided.
