Method for selectively connecting mobile devices to 4G or 5G networks and network federation which implements such method - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049324 titled 'Method for selectively connecting mobile devices to 4G or 5G networks and network federation which implements such method
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for selectively connecting mobile devices to 4G and/or 5G networks. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- A network federation is created by preparing multiple isolated 4G and/or 5G networks, each consisting of a radio access network (RAN), a PDN gateway node or a user plane function (UPF), and an application server.
- Multiple mobile devices are prepared and connected to the networks to exchange data traffic with the application server through the RAN and the PDN gateway or UPF node.
- A connectivity network is prepared to selectively connect the networks to each other.
- One reference PDN gateway or UPF node associated with a network of the federation is selected.
- The data traffic associated with all the mobile devices connected to the networks other than the reference network is migrated to the application server associated with the reference network, which includes the previously selected PDN gateway or UPF node.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Efficient management of mobile devices in a network federation.
- Seamless handover of data traffic between different networks.
- Improved connectivity and data exchange between mobile devices and application servers.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the process of connecting mobile devices to different networks.
- Enables efficient data traffic management and migration.
- Provides a seamless experience for mobile device users.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced connectivity and data exchange capabilities for mobile devices.
- Improved network management and resource allocation.
- Seamless handover and migration of data traffic between networks.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method of selectively connecting mobile devices to 4g and/or 5g networks includes preparing a plurality of isolated 4g and/or 5g networks configured to define a network federation and each having a radio access network (ran), a pdn gateway node or a user plane function (upf), and an application server; preparing a plurality of mobile devices; connecting the mobile devices to the networks to exchange data traffic with the application server via, at least, the ran and the pdn gateway or upf node; preparing a connectivity network configured to selectively connect the networks to each other; selecting one reference pdn gateway or upf node associated with a network of the federation; and migrating the data traffic associated with all the mobile devices connected to the networks other than the reference network to the application server associated with the reference network that includes the previously selected pdn gateway or upf node.
