Controlling User Plane Function (UPF) Load - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18279064 titled 'Controlling User Plane Function (UPF) Load

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application where a User Plane Function (UPF) sends a load report to a Session Management Function (SMF), which then installs a load reduction policy rule in the UPF based on the received report.

  • The UPF sends a load report to the SMF.
  • The SMF installs a load reduction policy rule in the UPF in response to the report.
  • The load reduction policy rule includes a criterion to identify users subject to the rule.
  • The UPF selectively applies the load reduction policy rule to user plane traffic based on the criterion.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in telecommunications networks to optimize network traffic and improve overall performance.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in managing network load efficiently and ensuring a smooth user experience by reducing congestion and improving network performance.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced network performance, reduced congestion, improved user experience, and optimized resource allocation.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include telecommunications companies, network service providers, and any organization looking to optimize network traffic and improve performance.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be load balancing techniques used in networking to distribute traffic evenly across servers to optimize performance.

What are the specific criteria used to identify users subject to the load reduction policy rule?

The specific criteria used to identify users subject to the load reduction policy rule are not mentioned in the abstract. It would be interesting to know if these criteria are based on user activity, network conditions, or other factors.

How does the load reduction policy rule impact the overall network performance?

The abstract does not provide details on how the load reduction policy rule affects the overall network performance. It would be beneficial to understand the specific improvements or optimizations achieved by implementing this rule.


Original Abstract Submitted

A User Plane Function, UPF (), sends a load report to a Session Management Function, SMF (). Responsive to receiving the load report from the UPF (), the SMF () installs a load reduction policy rule in the UPF (). The load reduction policy rule comprises a criterion for identifying one or more users subject to the load reduction policy rule. The UPF () selectively applies the load reduction policy rule to user plane traffic of the one or more users based on the criterion.
