COMMUNICATION DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18493603 titled 'COMMUNICATION DEVICE, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The communication device described in the patent application functions as a base station in a communication network. It receives information from a node regarding the path between the node and the device, as well as the status of the node. Based on this information, the device determines the type of network slice supported by the node and informs the node of this determination.

  • Receiving means for obtaining information from a node about the path and status of the node.
  • Determining means for analyzing the received information to identify the type of network slice supported by the node.
  • Informing means for communicating the determined type of network slice to the node.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in telecommunications networks to optimize network slicing and resource allocation.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently managing network resources and improving communication quality by determining the type of network slice supported by a node.

Benefits

- Enhanced network performance - Improved resource allocation - Better communication quality

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Network Slicing in Communication Networks" could be a suitable title for this section.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to network slicing and resource allocation in communication networks, but specific examples are not provided in this context.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact network efficiency?

This technology can potentially improve network efficiency by optimizing network slicing and resource allocation.

What are the implications of this technology on user experience?
