MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024478 A) filed by Sr University, Warangal, Telangana, on March 2, for 'simulation-based edge-centric 5g network architecture for rural connectivity using cisco packet tracer.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Elamaran E; Dr. Sandip Bhattacharya; Dr. Saptarshi Gupta; and Dr. Dharmbir Prasad.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention Simulation-Based Edge-Centric 5G Network Architecture for Rural Connectivity Using Cisco Packet Tracer presents a cost-effective solution for addressing the digital divide in rural areas by utilizing simulation-based 5G network architecture. The system integrates edge computing, network slicing, and hierarchical network structures to enhance broadband connectivity in underserved regions. Utilizing Cisco Packet Tracer, the invention models a three-tier architecture, comprising Core, Edge, and Access layers to replicate real-world 5G operations. It incorporates Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) for network slicing, inter-VLAN routing for service integration, and a Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) layer for localized data processing. This design reduces latency, lowers hop count, and ensures service isolation and scalability. The architecture supports key rural service domains, such as healthcare, education, and agriculture, making it a versatile platform for rural connectivity planning, research, and educational applications. The invention emphasizes accessibility and affordability, ensuring practical deployment in resource-constrained environments."
