METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING AVAILABLE SERVICES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17973981 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING AVAILABLE SERVICES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method involves requesting registration with a network, receiving a response from the network entity including information on a tracking area associated with network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI), identifying a single-NSSAI (S-NSSAI) to request based on the response and location information of the terminal, and transmitting a message including the identified S-NSSAI back to the network entity.

  • The method involves a terminal in a wireless communication system.
  • The terminal sends a message to a network entity to request registration with a network.
  • The network entity responds with a message containing information about a tracking area associated with network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI).
  • The terminal uses the received information and its location to identify a single-NSSAI (S-NSSAI) to request.
  • The terminal then sends a message back to the network entity, including the identified S-NSSAI.

Potential Applications

  • This method can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, to facilitate registration and network slice selection.
  • It can be used in scenarios where terminals need to connect to specific network slices based on their location and other factors.

Problems Solved

  • The method solves the problem of efficiently registering a terminal with a network and selecting the appropriate network slice.
  • It addresses the challenge of providing network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) based on the terminal's location and other relevant factors.

Benefits

  • The method simplifies the registration process for terminals in a wireless communication system.
  • It enables efficient selection of network slices based on the terminal's location and other criteria.
  • This method improves the overall performance and user experience in wireless communication systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting, to a network entity, a first message for requesting a registration with a network, receiving, from the network entity, a second message in response to the first message, the second message including information on a tracking area (TA) associated with network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI), identifying single-NSSAI (S-NSSAI) to request based on the second message and location information of the terminal, and transmitting, to the network entity, a third message including the identified S-NSSAI.
