REPORT OF SESSION S-NSSAI TO DN-AAA SERVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18260035 titled 'REPORT OF SESSION S-NSSAI TO DN-AAA SERVER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a network function implementing a DN-AAA server to receive network slice related information for a PDU Session from another network function.

  • The DN-AAA server receives a request message from another network function containing network slice related information for a PDU Session.
  • The request message can be an access request message for authentication or an accounting request message indicating the start of the PDU session.
  • The DN-AAA server uses the received information to authenticate the session and gather statistics.

---

      1. Potential Applications

      1. Problems Solved
  • Efficient authentication and accounting for network sessions
  • Simplified management of network slices
      1. Benefits
  • Improved security through authentication
  • Enhanced network management with detailed statistics
  • Streamlined accounting processes for network sessions


Original Abstract Submitted

Report of the Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI) that is associated with the Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Session to Data Network Authentication Authorization Accounting (DN-AAA) server. A method performed by a first network function implementing DN-AAA server. The method comprises receiving, from a second network function, a request message comprising network slice related information for a PDU Session. The request message may be an access request message for authentication at least based on the network slice related information. The request message may be an accounting request message indicating that the PDU session has started. The DN-AAA server may know the network slice information that is associated with the session for authentication and statistics based on the received Session S-NSSAI information.
