Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPTIMISING A DATA TRANSMISSION DURING A MOBILITY PROCEDURE TECHNICAL FIELD [001] Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to network performance management systems. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and systems for optimising a data transmission during a mobility procedure. BACKGROUND [002] The following description of the related art is intended to provide background information pertaining to the field of the disclosure. This section may include certain aspects of the art that may be related to various features of the present disclosure. However, it should be appreciated that this section is used only to enhance the understanding of the reader with respect to the present disclosure, and not as admissions of the prior art. [003] Wireless communication technology has rapidly evolved over the past few decades, with each generation bringing significant improvements and advancements. The first generation of wireless communication technology was based on analog technology and offered only voice services. However, with the advent of the second-generation (2G) technology, digital communication and data services became possible, and text messaging was introduced. The third- generation (3G) technology marked the introduction of high-speed internet access, mobile video calling, and location-based services. The fourth-generation (4G) technology revolutionized wireless communication with faster data speeds, better network coverage, and improved security. Currently, the fifth-generation (5G) technology is being deployed, promising even faster data speeds, low latency, and the ability to connect multiple devices simultaneously. With each generation, wireless communication technology has become more advanced, sophisticated, and capable of delivering more services to its users. [004] The current state of user plane function (UPF) data processing and/or data forwarding methods in telecommunication networks fails to ensure seamless voice calls or a flow of data traffic across different Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs). There is a need for an invention that addresses this issue by optimizing the UPF data processing and data forwarding method, enabling uninterrupted voice calls and the flow of data traffic while maintaining high performance and quality of service. [005] Further, over the period of time, various solutions have been developed to improve the performance of communication devices and optimize data transmission with a target traffic during a mobility procedure scenario. However, there are certain challenges with existing solutions. Firstly, these solutions often result in performance degradation, introducing notable latency and packet loss during data processing and forwarding. Consequently, the quality of voice calls and data traffic flow is compromised, leading to a poor communication experience. Secondly, these solutions may lack scalability, struggling to handle the increasing volume of voice calls and data traffic across multiple PLMNs efficiently. As a result, network resources become overwhelmed, causing bottlenecks and further deteriorating the overall quality of communication. Lastly, some prior solutions may face compatibility issues with legacy systems, making it challenging to integrate them seamlessly into existing telecommunication infrastructures. [006] Thus, there exists an imperative need in the art to optimise the data transmission during the mobility scenario associated with users of telecommunication networks, which the present disclosure aims to address. SUMMARY [007] This section is provided to introduce certain aspects of the present disclosure in a simplified form that are further described below in the detailed description. This summary is not intended to identify the key features or the scope of the claimed subject matter. [008] An aspect of the present disclosure may relate to a method for optimising a data transmission during a mobility procedure. The method comprises identifying, by an identification unit, a mobility request associated with a user in a network. Further, the method comprises receiving, by a transceiver unit at a User Plane Function (UPF), a set of data traffic packets associated with the user during the mobility request. Further the method comprises identifying, by the identification unit, a type of data associated with the set of data traffic packets. Further the method comprises generating, by a processing unit at the UPF, a set of mapped data based on mapping each data traffic packet from the set of data traffic packets and a virtual local area network identifier (VLAN ID). Further the method comprises transmitting, by the transceiver unit from the UPF to one or more target destination associated with the network, each of the mapped data from the set of mapped data based on the type of data associated with each mapped data.
