USER EQUIPMENT (UE) POLICY ENHANCMENT FOR UE ROUTE SELECTION POLICY (URSP) IN EVOLVED PACKET SYSTEM (EPS) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18176822 titled 'USER EQUIPMENT (UE) POLICY ENHANCMENT FOR UE ROUTE SELECTION POLICY (URSP) IN EVOLVED PACKET SYSTEM (EPS)

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a service device in a 5G network that can process or generate a downlink generic non-access stratum transport message with UE policy container containing UE route selection policy rules.

  • The service device can provide UE capability information for provisioning URSP rules in EPS.
  • Parameters from URSP rules can be used to establish a PDN connection in an EPS of a 4G network.

Potential Applications

  • 5G network management
  • Provisioning of URSP rules in EPS
  • PDN connection establishment in a 4G network

Problems Solved

  • Efficient management of UE capabilities in a 5G network
  • Seamless integration of 5G and 4G networks
  • Simplified provisioning of URSP rules

Benefits

  • Improved network performance
  • Enhanced network management capabilities
  • Seamless connectivity for users across different network generations


Original Abstract Submitted

A service device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a new radio NB (gNB), mobility management entity (MME), or other network component or network management component) as a service provider or a service consumer can process or generate a downlink (DL) generic non-access stratum (NAS) transport (DL GENERIC NAS TRANSPORT) message that includes a UE policy container with UE route selection policy (URSP) rules associated with a 5G network in response to providing UE capability information for provisioning URSP rules in EPS. Parameters from the URSP rules associated with a 5G network can be derived to establish a packet data network (PDN) connection in an evolved packet system (EPS) of a 4G network.
