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 20240137841 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 accordingly.

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

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various communication networks to optimize network slices based on node capabilities.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in efficiently managing network resources by matching network slices with the capabilities of the nodes in the network.

Benefits

- Improved network performance - Enhanced resource allocation - Better overall network management

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Network Slices Based on Node Capabilities" could find applications in telecommunications, IoT networks, and other communication systems.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing technologies related to network slice optimization based on node capabilities, but specific prior art is not provided in the patent application.

Original Abstract Submitted

a communication device functioning as a base station in a communication network comprises: receiving means for receiving, from a node that relays communication between the communication device and a user equipment, first information regarding a path between the node and the communication device and second information regarding a status of the node; determining means for determining a type of network slice supported by the node, based on the first information and the second information; and informing means for informing the node of the determined type of network slice.
