DYNAMIC FUNCTIONAL PARTITIONING FOR SECURITY PASS-THROUGH VIRTUAL NETWORK FUNCTION (VNF) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023008 titled 'DYNAMIC FUNCTIONAL PARTITIONING FOR SECURITY PASS-THROUGH VIRTUAL NETWORK FUNCTION (VNF)
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a network device or system that enables a security pass-through between a user equipment (UE) and various virtual functions between a physical access point (PAP) and a virtual AP (VAP) based on communication link parameters. The security pass-through is an interface connection that allows data traffic to pass through a computer premise equipment (CPE) or wireless residential gateway (GW) without modifying or affecting the data traffic. The network device can receive traffic data from a UE through the security pass-through from a UE of a community Wi-Fi network at a home, residence, or entity network.
- The network device enables a security pass-through between a UE and virtual functions between a PAP and VAP.
- The pass-through allows data traffic to flow without modification or authentication by the CPE or GW.
- Communication link parameters, such as latency, are used to define the virtual functions.
- The network device receives traffic data from a UE through the security pass-through.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Enhancing security in community Wi-Fi networks by allowing secure pass-through connections.
- Enabling seamless connectivity between UEs and virtual functions in PAPs and VAPs.
- Facilitating data traffic flow without the need for authentication or modification by CPEs or GWs.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensuring secure data transmission between UEs and virtual functions without compromising privacy or integrity.
- Simplifying the connectivity process for UEs by eliminating the need for authentication or modification by CPEs or GWs.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved security and privacy for data transmitted through community Wi-Fi networks.
- Seamless connectivity for UEs to virtual functions in PAPs and VAPs.
- Simplified setup and configuration process for UEs without the need for authentication or modification by CPEs or GWs.
Original Abstract Submitted
a network device or system can operate to enable a security pass-through with a user equipment (ue) and further define various virtual functions between a physical access point (pap) and a virtual ap (vap) based on one or more communication link parameters (e.g., latency). the security pass-through can be an interface connection that passes through a computer premise equipment (cpe) or wireless residential gateway (gw) without the cpe or gw modifying or affecting the data traffic such as by authentication or security protocol. the sp network device can receive traffic data from a ue through or via the security pass-through from a ue of a community wi-fi network at a home, residence, or entity network.
