DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING VIRTUAL ENTERPRISE NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18470263 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING VIRTUAL ENTERPRISE NETWORK
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a communication system that supports a higher data transmission rate compared to existing 4G systems like LTE. The system is specifically designed for virtual enterprise networks (VENs) in a wireless communication environment.
- The method involves a packet classifier receiving an Ethernet packet from a user plane function (UPF) in the wireless communication system.
- The packet classifier obtains the source medium access control (MAC) address and virtual local area network (VLAN) identification information of the Ethernet packet.
- It then identifies a virtual switch (VSW) within an enterprise that corresponds to the source MAC address and VLAN identification information.
- The Ethernet packet is forwarded to the identified VSW.
- The method also includes authenticating a member of a virtual network group based on a MAC address.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Improved data transmission rate: The 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system allows for higher data transmission rates, enabling faster and more efficient communication in various applications.
- Virtual enterprise networks: The system is specifically designed for virtual enterprise networks, which are commonly used in large organizations to connect multiple locations and enable seamless communication and data sharing.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited data transmission rate: Existing 4G systems like LTE have limitations in terms of data transmission rate, which can hinder the performance of various applications that require high-speed communication.
- Efficient network management: The method described in the patent application allows for efficient management of virtual enterprise networks by identifying the appropriate virtual switch for incoming Ethernet packets.
Benefits of this technology:
- Faster communication: The higher data transmission rate provided by the 5G or pre-5G communication system allows for faster communication, reducing latency and improving overall user experience.
- Enhanced network management: The method enables efficient management of virtual enterprise networks by accurately identifying the virtual switch corresponding to the source MAC address and VLAN identification information.
- Improved security: The authentication of virtual network group members based on MAC addresses enhances the security of the communication system and prevents unauthorized access.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a 5th (5G) generation or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4th (4G) generation communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a method performed by a packet classifier for a virtual enterprise network (VEN), in a wireless communication system, may include receiving an Ethernet packet from a user plane function (UPF), obtaining a source medium access control (MAC) address and virtual local area network (VLAN) identification information of the Ethernet packet, identifying a virtual switch (VSW) of an enterprise corresponding to the source MAC address and the VLAN identification information, forwarding the Ethernet packet to the VSW, and authenticating a member of a virtual network group based on a MAC address.
