Service-Based User Plane Entity for a Wireless Communication Network - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17916835 titled 'Service-Based User Plane Entity for a Wireless Communication Network

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for implementing a service-based user plane entity in a wireless communication network.

  • The invention focuses on operating a user plane entity in a wireless communication network, along with session control entities and a network repository entity.
  • The session control entities handle data packet sessions in the network, while the user plane entity handles the user plane of these sessions.
  • The network repository entity registers the session control entities and the user plane entity.
  • The method involves transmitting a discovery message to the network repository entity, indicating the user plane entity's association request and filtering criteria for the session control entities.
  • The network repository entity responds with a message containing a list of filtered session control entities based on the filtering criteria.
  • The user plane entity then transmits an association request message to a specific session control entity, including the identifier of the user plane entity.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication networks
  • Data packet session management
  • User plane handling in wireless networks

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of associating a user plane entity with a session control entity in a wireless communication network
  • Efficiently filters session control entities based on specific criteria

Benefits of this technology:

  • Streamlines the operation of user plane entities in wireless networks
  • Improves the management of data packet sessions
  • Enhances the overall efficiency and performance of wireless communication networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

The invention relates to various methods and apparatuses for implementing service-based user plane entity in a wireless communication network. One method relates in particular to method for operating a user plane entity () in a wireless communication network, the wireless communication network comprising the user plane entity (), a plurality of session control entities () and a network repository entity (). The plurality of session control entities () can be configured to handle at least one data packet session in the wireless communication network, the user plane entity () can be configured to handle a user plane of the at least one data packet session, and the network repository entity () can be configured to register the plurality of session control entities () and the user plane entity (). The method comprises a step S- of transmitting to the network repository entity () a discovery message comprising: an association request indication, for indicating that the user plane entity () can be associated to a session control entity (), and filtering criteria for filtering the plurality of session control entities (). The method further comprises a step S- of receiving from the network repository entity () a response message, in response to the discovery message, comprising: a list of filtered session control entities (), filtered based on the filtering criteria. The method also comprises a step S- of transmitting to a first filtered session control entity (), of the filtered session control entities (), an association request message comprising: an identifier of the user plane entity ().
