COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18158095 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a communication method and apparatus that enable the policy control function to obtain the identifier of a user plane function for information exposure purposes. Here are the key points:
- The session management function receives indication information from the policy control function.
- The indication information instructs the session management function to send the identifier of a user plane function to the policy control function.
- The user plane function is responsible for transmitting data of a first service.
- The session management function sends the identifier of the user plane function to the policy control function based on the indication information.
- This allows the policy control function to obtain the identifier of the user plane function and implement information exposure of the user plane function.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in communication networks to enable efficient information exposure of user plane functions.
- It can be used in various services that require policy control and session management, such as mobile networks, internet of things (IoT) applications, and cloud computing.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of enabling the policy control function to obtain the identifier of a user plane function for information exposure purposes.
- It ensures efficient communication and coordination between the session management function and the policy control function.
- It simplifies the process of transmitting the identifier of the user plane function to the policy control function.
Benefits
- The technology improves the overall efficiency and effectiveness of communication networks.
- It enables better management and control of user plane functions.
- It enhances the capabilities of policy control functions by providing them with the necessary information for information exposure.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication method and a communication apparatus. A session management function receives indication information from a policy control function, where the indication information indicates the session management function to send an identifier of a user plane function to the policy control function, and the user plane function is configured to transmit data of a first service. The session management function sends the identifier of the user plane function to the policy control function based on the indication information. The identifier of the user plane function is sent to the policy control function via the session management function, so that the policy control function is able to obtain the identifier of the user plane function to implement information exposure of the user plane function.
