ASSOCIATING REMOTE UE WITH RELAY UE IN 5GC - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17921766 titled 'ASSOCIATING REMOTE UE WITH RELAY UE IN 5GC

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods for connecting a remote user equipment (RMUE) device to a relay user equipment (RLUE) device in a communications network. The radio access network node receives a message containing information about the RMUE or RLUE device and establishes a connection using an access and mobility management function (AMF). The core network node receives a message indicating that the RLUE device is linked to the RMUE device based on data from the first AMF.

  • The patent application focuses on linking a remote user equipment device to a relay user equipment device in a communications network.
  • The radio access network node receives a message containing information about the devices and establishes a connection using an access and mobility management function (AMF).
  • The core network node receives a message indicating the link between the devices based on data from the first AMF.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various communication networks to connect remote user equipment devices to relay user equipment devices.
  • It can be used in scenarios where a remote user needs to access resources or services through a relay user equipment device.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of efficiently linking remote user equipment devices to relay user equipment devices in a communications network.
  • It addresses the challenge of managing access and mobility between the devices.

Benefits

  • The methods described in the patent application provide a streamlined approach to connecting remote user equipment devices to relay user equipment devices.
  • The use of the access and mobility management function (AMF) helps in efficient management of the connection between the devices.
  • The technology enables improved communication and access to resources for remote users through relay user equipment devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods of operating a radio access network node and a core network node to link a remote user equipment, RMUE, device to a relay user equipment, RLUE, device in a communications network are described. The radio access network node operates to receive a message that includes information corresponding to either the RMUE device or the RLUE device having a connection that is established between the radio access network node and the corresponding one of the RMUE device or the RLUE device and that uses a first access and mobility management function, AMF. The radio access network node further operates to link the RMUE device to the RLUE device using the first AMF. The core network node operates to receive a message that a first AMF includes data corresponding to the RLUE device and links the RMUE device to the RLUE device based on the message.
