Abstract:
A system and method for reducing latency in a wireless-to-wired backhaul environment, such as a LTE-Backhaul environment. In the LTE-Backhaul embodiment, the system and method rely on a modification to the eNodeB (eNB). This modification causes the eNB to generate a bandwidth report (BWR) upon receipt of a buffer status report (BSR) associated with an RRC encapsulated NSA signaling. The BWR provides a notification to the backhaul system that SCTP signaling, which is associated with the RRC encapsulated NSA signaling, is forthcoming. In addition, the present system and method provides for a periodic transmission of a grant (e.g., a MAP in a DOCSIS embodiment) in the backhaul portion. The backhaul grant provides for the modem to immediately forward the BWR to the modem termination system (MTS) upon receipt of the BWR such that the MTS may prepare a grant for the forth coming SCTP signaling.

Claim (Index 1):
A backhaul pipelining system, comprising:\n a backhaul system configured to periodically generate a grant for a bandwidth report (BWR) including an SCTP initialization notification and configured to generate and transmit a grant for a Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) initialization message upon receipt of the BWR; and a remote radio head (RRH) in communication with a Mobility Management Entity (MME) via the backhaul system and configured to, upon receipt of a buffer status report (BSR) for a logical channel group (LCG), identify the BSR as associated with a NAS message requiring an SCTP stream and prepare the BWR including an SCTP initialization notification for transmission to the backhaul system.
