METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING INTER-SYSTEM MOBILITY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17995272 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING INTER-SYSTEM MOBILITY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for supporting inter-system mobility of a user equipment (UE) in a communication network. The method involves receiving a request for a packet data network (PDN) connection from the UE, determining if a movement to a 5G system is required for the PDN connection, and transmitting subscriber information to another entity based on the determination. The method also involves receiving a response from the other entity containing identification information of subscribed network slices corresponding to the UE, and providing this information to the UE.
- The method supports inter-system mobility of a UE in a communication network.
- It involves determining if a movement to a 5G system is required for a PDN connection.
- Subscriber information, including identification information of subscribed network slices, is transmitted to another entity.
- The method enables the UE to receive identification information of subscribed network slices.
Potential Applications
- This method can be applied in communication networks to support seamless mobility of user equipment between different systems.
- It can be used in 5G networks to facilitate efficient management of network slices for different services and applications.
Problems Solved
- The method solves the problem of supporting inter-system mobility of user equipment in a communication network.
- It addresses the challenge of efficiently managing network slices and providing the necessary identification information to the user equipment.
Benefits
- The method enables seamless mobility of user equipment between different systems, improving the overall user experience.
- It allows for efficient management of network slices, ensuring the appropriate services and applications are provided to the user equipment.
- The method simplifies the process of obtaining identification information of subscribed network slices for the user equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of supporting inter-system mobility of a first entity includes receiving a create session request message including information about an Access Point Name (APN), for which a user equipment requests a packet data network (PDN) connection, subscriber identification information of the user equipment, and a field indicating capability information of the user equipment about slice identification information, determining, based on the create session request message, whether movement to a 5G system (5GS) is required for the PDN connection, transmitting, based on a result of the determining, to a second entity, a subscriber information request including the subscriber identification information and the APN information, receiving, from the second entity, a response to the subscriber information request including identification information of one or more subscribed network slices corresponding to the subscriber identification information, and providing, to the user equipment, at least one piece of identification information of the one or more subscribed network slices.
