patents are just so dumb… 3GPP is an open standard, why would companies or individuals try to prevent 3GPP to use their ideas, by patenting them ? It’s the best way for this idea NEVER to be implemented in 3GPP.
it just blows my mind.
Anyway, I doubt that this kind of idea would ever appear in the 3GPP standards, because i just can’t see the benefit of doing so…
