APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING TRAFFIC OF SERVICE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18058407 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING TRAFFIC OF SERVICE IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a communication system that supports a higher data transmission rate than LTE.
- The system operates by receiving a registration request message from a user plane function (UPF) instance, which includes UPF profile information.
- The UPF profile information includes information about the UPF service support for at least one UPF service.
- The system also receives a UPF discovery request message from a session management function (SMF) node, which includes UPF service information.
- Based on the UPF profile information and the UPF service information, the system discovers one or more UPF instances.
- The system then transmits the UPF instance information to the SMF node.
Potential applications of this technology:
- 5G or pre-5G communication systems
- Wireless communication systems with higher data transmission rates
Problems solved by this technology:
- Support for higher data transmission rates compared to LTE
- Efficient discovery and management of UPF instances in a wireless communication system
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved data transmission rates
- Simplified discovery and management of UPF instances
- Enhanced efficiency in wireless communication systems
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a 5G or a pre-5G communication system provided to support a higher data transmission rate than that of post-4G communication systems such as LTE. A method of operating a network node in a wireless communication system includes: receiving, from at least one user plane function (UPF) instance, a registration request message including UPF profile information of the at least one UPF instance; storing the UPF profile information including UPF service support information for at least one UPF service supported by the at least one UPF instance, receiving, from a session management function (SMF) node, a UPF discovery request message including UPF service information; discovering one or more UPF instance based on the UPF profile information and the UPF service information; and transmitting, to the SMF node, UPF instance information for the one or more UPF instance.
