METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING PAGING OPERATIONS IN A 5G NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18049233 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING PAGING OPERATIONS IN A 5G NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods and systems for performing paging operations in 5G communication networks. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

• The 5G core network can send a NAS message to a User Equipment (UE) through a N3GPP access network if the UE is reachable through that network.
• The NAS message is transmitted from the 5G core network to the N3IWF (N3GPP Interworking Function).
• The N3IWF then sends the NAS message to the UE through the N3GPP access network.
• In response to the NAS message, the UE can send a service request over 3GPP access to the 5G core network through a 5G RAN (Radio Access Network).
• If the UE does not have access to the 5G RAN, it can send a notification response message to the 5G core network indicating its inability to transmit a service request.
• Transmitting the NAS message through the N3IWF can result in significant savings of radio resources.

Potential applications of this technology:

• 5G communication networks
• Mobile network operators
• Wireless communication systems

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient paging operations in 5G networks
• Saving radio resources
• Ensuring reachability of UEs through different access networks

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved efficiency in paging operations
• Reduced resource consumption
• Enhanced connectivity for UEs in different access networks

Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments herein provide methods and systems for performing paging operation in 5G communication networks. The 5G core network can transmit a NAS message to a UE through a N3GPP access network, if the UE is reachable through the N3GPP access network. The NAS message can be sent by the 5G core network to the N3IWF. The N3IWF can send the NAS message to the UE, through the N3GPP access network. The UE can send a service request over 3GPP access, in response to the NAS message, to the 5G core network, through a 5G RAN. If the UE is not having access to the 5G RAN, then the UE can transmit a notification response message to the 5G core network, indicating the inability to transmit a service request. The transmission of NAS message through the N3IWF can lead to a significant saving of radio resources.
