Abstract
One bottleneck in 5G uplink messaging is the 6-byte MAC address of the recipient. Disclosed is a database, maintained by a base station, for each user. The database may include addresses of potential interest to the user, along with a code or index associated with each address. The user can then cite the code or index instead of the full MAC address in messages, and the base station can look up the destination address in the database according to the code or index. The database may include the user's contacts, return addresses of prior incoming messages, destination addresses of prior outgoing messages, and optionally certain administrative addresses. Versions include codes for commands, codes for emergencies, codes to modify the database, and algorithms developed by AI (artificial intelligence). The index may be provided as a scheduling request message, or on the random access channel concurrently with a scheduling request, or associated with a BSR message, or otherwise. Users may pay for this versatile service.
