TARGET SERVICES FOR AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18339016 titled 'TARGET SERVICES FOR AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The techniques described support authentication and authorization (AA) for various services provided by a network and supported by a user equipment (UE).

  • A UE can send a container to a first network entity to request AA for a specific service.
  • The container includes an indicator of the first service, which helps distinguish it from multiple services.
  • The first network entity can query a third network entity based on the indicator to find a second network entity that supports AA for the first service.
  • The first network entity then transmits the indicator of the first service to the second network entity.
  • The second network entity selects a fourth network entity that supports AA for the first service.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing security and access control in wireless communication networks.
  • Streamlining the authentication and authorization process for various services.
  • Enabling seamless and secure connectivity for user equipment.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifying the process of requesting authentication and authorization for specific services.
  • Improving the efficiency of discovering network entities that support AA for a particular service.
  • Enhancing the overall security and reliability of wireless communication networks.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience by reducing the complexity and time required for authentication and authorization.
  • Enhanced security measures to protect sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access.
  • Streamlined network management and resource allocation for different services.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques support authentication and authorization (AA) for various services provided by a network and supported by a user equipment (UE). A UE may transmit a container to a first network entity requesting AA for a first service. The container may include an indicator of the first service, and the indicator may indicate or distinguish the first service from multiple services. The first network entity may query a third network entity based on the indicator of the first service to discover a second network entity supporting AA for the first service. The first network entity may then transmit an indicator of the first service to the second network entity, and the second network entity may select a fourth network entity supporting AA for the first service.
