METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING NETWORK TRAFFIC IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17758390 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING NETWORK TRAFFIC IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for collecting network traffic in a wireless communication system. It also explains an operation method of a network data analytics function (NWDAF) in a wireless communication system.

  • The method involves obtaining scheduled service usage information of a user equipment (UE), which includes details such as a service usage identifier, scheduled communication time, correlation identifier, and traffic descriptor.
  • The system receives a packet for the service used by the UE from a session management function (SMF).
  • It identifies service traffic characteristics from the packet based on the scheduled service usage information.
  • Finally, it transmits a packet flow description (PFD) to a network exposure function (NEF) based on the identified service traffic characteristics.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Network traffic analysis and monitoring in wireless communication systems.
  • Optimization of network resources based on service usage information.
  • Enhancing network performance and quality of service for users.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient collection and analysis of network traffic data.
  • Identification of service traffic characteristics for better network management.
  • Improved understanding of user behavior and service usage patterns.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced network performance and quality of service.
  • Improved resource allocation and optimization.
  • Better understanding of user needs and preferences.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for collecting network traffic in a wireless communication system, and an operation method of a network data analytics function (NWDAF) in a wireless communication system may include obtaining scheduled service usage information of a user equipment (UE), the scheduled service usage information including a service usage identifier for identifying a service used by the UE, information about a scheduled communication time for the service, a correlation identifier associated with a service used in a different time from the scheduled communication time or another UE, and a traffic descriptor, receiving a packet for the service used by the UE from a session management function (SMF), identifying service traffic characteristics from the packet for the service, based on the scheduled service usage information, and transmitting a packet flow description (PFD) to a network exposure function (NEF), based on the identified service traffic characteristics.
