Connection Configuration for Fourth Generation (4G) and Fifth Generation (5G) Converged Deployment - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240056789 titled 'Connection Configuration for Fourth Generation (4G) and Fifth Generation (5G) Converged Deployment
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for configuring connections in a converged deployment of 4G and 5G networks. It involves storing a mapping of user equipment (UE) usage types (UUTs) and receiving a connection request from a UE subscribed to a specific UUT. Based on the UUT mapping, a subscriber profile is determined and the connection is configured accordingly.
- The method involves storing a mapping of UUTs for UEs.
- A connection request from a UE subscribed to a UUT is received.
- The subscriber profile for the UE is determined using the UUT mapping.
- The connection for the UE is configured based on the determined subscriber profile.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Converged deployments of 4G and 5G networks.
- Efficient configuration of connections for UEs based on their subscribed UUTs.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the process of configuring connections in a converged network deployment.
- Ensures that the connection is established based on the subscriber profile of the UE.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved efficiency in configuring connections for UEs.
- Enhanced user experience by providing appropriate configuration based on subscriber profile.
- Facilitates seamless transition between 4G and 5G networks.
Original Abstract Submitted
connection configuration for fourth generation (4g) and fifth generation (5g) converged deployment may be provided. a user equipment (ue) usage type (uut) mapping may be stored, wherein the uut mapping includes an attribute value pair (avp) for one or more uuts. a connection to a 5g network from a 4g network may be received from a ue, wherein the connection comprises subscription information that includes a uut the ue is subscribed to. in response to receiving the uut, a subscriber profile for the ue in a converged packet core may be determined using the uut mapping, and the configuration of the connection for the ue may be established based on the determined subscriber profile.
