METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORK SLICE ADMISSION CONTROL FOR INTERWORKING WITH EPC IN WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956147 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NETWORK SLICE ADMISSION CONTROL FOR INTERWORKING WITH EPC IN WIRELESS NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for network slice admission control in a 5G or 6G communication system. This method is used when a user equipment (UE) transfers a connection or session from one mode to another during an intersystem change.
- The method detects when a UE switches from a N1 mode to a S1 mode during an intersystem change.
- It determines that an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) counting is not necessary for a network slice in the wireless network.
- It transmits a message to a Network Slice Admission Control Function (NSACF) to update or reduce the number of UEs and PDU sessions per network slice.
Potential applications of this technology:
- 5G and 6G communication systems
- Wireless networks
- Network slice management
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient management of network slices during intersystem changes
- Reducing the need for EPC counting in certain scenarios
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved network slice admission control
- Enhanced efficiency in managing UEs and PDU sessions per network slice
- Streamlined communication system during intersystem changes
Original Abstract Submitted
The disclosure relates to a fifth generation (5G) or sixth generation (6G) communication system. A method for Network slice admission control for interworking with an Evolved Packet Core Network (EPC) in a wireless network by a Session Management Function-Packet Data Network Gateway (SMF-PGW-C) is provided. The method includes detecting that at least one UE transfers a Packet Data Network (PDN) connection or a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session from a N1 mode to a S1 mode during an intersystem change. Further, the method includes determining that an EPC counting is not required for a network slice of the wireless network. Further, the method includes transmitting a message to a Network Slice Admission Control Function (NSACF) in the wireless network to update or reduce a number of User Equipments (UEs) per network slice and a number of PDU sessions per network slice.
