DEVICE AUTHENTICATION AND NETWORK FUNCTION REGISTRATION AND DISCOVERY FOR 5G VERTICAL NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031803 titled 'DEVICE AUTHENTICATION AND NETWORK FUNCTION REGISTRATION AND DISCOVERY FOR 5G VERTICAL NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about solutions for registration and discovery of network functions (NFs) in vertical 5G networks, as well as handling tasks like authentication of connecting end terminals at the operator network level.

  • The method involves receiving a request for access to an NF of a vertical network from an end terminal at the operator network.
  • The network controller authenticates the end terminal to ensure its legitimacy.
  • Once authenticated, the network controller identifies the requested NF based on the type of NF included in the request.
  • The network controller facilitates access to the NF in the vertical network by the authenticated end terminal.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Improved registration and discovery of NFs in vertical 5G networks.
  • Enhanced authentication of connecting end terminals at the operator network level.
  • Efficient access to NFs in vertical networks by authenticated end terminals.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Streamlines the process of accessing NFs in vertical networks.
  • Ensures secure authentication of connecting end terminals.
  • Simplifies the registration and discovery of NFs in vertical 5G networks.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Faster and more reliable access to NFs in vertical networks.
  • Enhanced security through authentication of connecting end terminals.
  • Improved efficiency in the registration and discovery of NFs in vertical 5G networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure provides solutions to registration and discovery of nfs in the vertical 5g networks, at the operator network, as well as handling tasks such as authentication of connecting end terminals at the operator network level. in one aspect, a method includes receiving, at network controller of an operator network and from an end terminal, a request for access to a network function (nf) of a vertical network, the request including a type of the nf in the vertical network; authenticating, at the network controller, the end terminal; upon authenticating the end terminal, identifying, at the network controller, the nf requested by the end terminal based at least on the type of the nf included in the request; and facilitating, by the network controller, access to the nf in the vertical network by the end terminal.
