METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOCAL DATA CACHING

摘要

Methods and apparatus for local data caching are disclosed. Data may be stored in a local data storage connected to a base station or network nodes. The data flow may be split. The base station may coordinate with a cooperating base station for split-data transmission of locally cached data. Data may be split at different layers.

1. A method, implemented in a network entity, of data flow splitting with local data caching, the method comprising:
caching data in at least one local data storage, each local data storage site connected to a network node; receiving feedback regarding delivery statistics of split-data transmission; and coordinating with a cooperating base station for split data transmission of cached data to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) from the cooperating base station and a base station co-located with the network entity, wherein the data is split between local data storages at the cooperating base station and the base station and, wherein the feedback is received from at least the cooperating base station and the base station.
