METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS POLICY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18056646 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS POLICY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and apparatus for providing a policy for a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, specifically in a system where both 4G and 5G networks co-exist.

  • The invention is focused on ensuring consistent policy application to a UE in a mixed 4G and 5G network environment.
  • A Base Station (BS) in the wireless communication system is equipped with a transceiver and at least one controller.
  • The controller is responsible for determining handover for a UE based on its communication state.
  • The BS transmits a handover request message to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) for the UE.
  • The AMF responds by sending a handover command to the BS.
  • The BS then performs a handover procedure with the UE.
  • The handover request message includes information about the rule used to select a network and the frequency applied to the UE.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems where both 4G and 5G networks are present. It ensures a consistent policy application for UEs during handover procedures, improving the overall network performance and user experience.

Problems Solved

1. In a mixed 4G and 5G network environment, it can be challenging to apply consistent policies to UEs during handover procedures. 2. Handover decisions need to be made based on the communication state of the UE, which can be complex in a multi-network environment. 3. Selecting the appropriate network and frequency for handover can be difficult without proper information.

Benefits

1. Ensures consistent policy application for UEs during handover procedures. 2. Improves network performance and user experience in mixed 4G and 5G network environments. 3. Simplifies the handover process by providing information about the rule used to select a network and frequency for the UE.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for providing an AM policy for a UE in a wireless communication system. The disclosure is applicable to apply a consistent policy to a UE in a system in which 4G and 5G networks co-exist. According to the disclosure, a BS in a wireless communication system may include a transceiver, and at least one controller coupled to the transceiver. The at least one controller may be configured to determine handover for a UE based on a communication state of the UE, transmit a handover request message for the UE to an AMF, receive a handover command for the UE from the AMF in response to transmitting the handover request message, and perform a handover procedure with the UE. The handover request message may include information related to a rule used to select a network and a frequency applied to the UE.
