MANAGING ALTERNATE-NETWORK SLICE IN MULTI-SIM UE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18452293 titled 'MANAGING ALTERNATE-NETWORK SLICE IN MULTI-SIM UE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for managing alternate network slices in a multi-SIM UE (User Equipment). Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves storing slice mapping information in a network slice database.
  • The slice mapping information includes a mapping between each candidate network slice of multiple network slices associated with multiple SIMs of the MUSIM UE.
  • The method determines if a candidate network slice associated with a first SIM is available.
  • If the candidate network slice associated with the first SIM is not available, the method determines a candidate network slice associated with a second SIM based on the stored slice mapping information.
  • The method then sends a registration request message to a second network operator associated with the second SIM based on the determined candidate network slice associated with the second SIM.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Efficient management of network slices in multi-SIM devices.
  • Enhanced connectivity options for users with multiple SIMs.
  • Improved network selection and registration process for multi-SIM devices.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of managing and selecting network slices in multi-SIM devices.
  • Provides seamless connectivity by automatically selecting an available network slice.
  • Reduces the need for manual network selection and configuration.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced user experience with improved connectivity options.
  • Efficient utilization of network resources by dynamically selecting available network slices.
  • Simplified management of network slices for device manufacturers and network operators.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments herein provide a method for management of alternate-network slice in a multi-SIM UE. The method includes storing slice mapping information in a network slice database. The slice mapping information includes a mapping among each candidate network slice of a plurality of network slices associated with a plurality of SIMs of the MUSIM UE. The method includes determining whether candidate network slice associated with a first SIM of the plurality of SIMs is available. The method includes determining candidate network slice associated with a second SIM based on the stored slice mapping information in the network slice database when the candidate network slice associated with the first SIM is not available. The method includes sending a registration request message to a second network operator associated with the second SIM based on the determined candidate network slice associated with the second SIM.
