METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING SERVICE RELIABILITY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489247 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING SERVICE RELIABILITY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a Session Management Function (SMF) to provide continuous service to a user equipment (UE). Here are the bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

  • The first SMF identifies the triggering of an SMF change operation.
  • It transmits a message to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) indicating a change in the status of a Packet Data Unit (PDU) session of the UE, requesting a procedure to change the SMF.
  • The first SMF receives a context request message from a second SMF (target SMF) requesting the context of the UE.
  • It then transmits a context request response message to the second SMF.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile network management: This method can be used in mobile networks to efficiently manage and switch between different SMFs for continuous service provision to user equipment.
  • Seamless handover: The method enables smooth handover between different SMFs, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity for the UE.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Seamless service continuity: The method addresses the challenge of maintaining uninterrupted service for user equipment during SMF changes.
  • Efficient context transfer: The context request and response messages facilitate the transfer of necessary information between SMFs, ensuring a smooth transition.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience: By providing continuous service during SMF changes, users can enjoy uninterrupted connectivity and avoid service disruptions.
  • Enhanced network management: The method enables efficient management of SMFs, allowing network operators to optimize resources and improve overall network performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method, performed by a first Session Management Function (SMF), for providing a continuous service to a user equipment (UE) includes: identifying, by the first SMF, triggering of an SMF change operation; transmitting, to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a message indicating a change in a status of a Packet Data Unit (PDU) session of the UE so as to request a procedure of changing an SMF; receiving a context request message requesting a context of the UE from a second SMF that is a target SMF; and transmitting a context request response message to the second SMF.
