SLICE ADMISSION CONTROL METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240129843 titled 'SLICE ADMISSION CONTROL METHOD AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for admission control in communication networks, where a determination is made to release a quota in a slice occupied by a user equipment (UE) based on the UE's slice use status.

  • The method uses a single slice as a granularity for determining whether to release a quota in a slice occupied by a UE.
  • The determination to release a quota is based on whether the UE's slice use status is idle or by setting a valid duration for the UE's admission to the slice.
  • This approach allows UEs to not occupy a slice quota for a long time if they are not actively using the slice, reducing the probability of denial of services to other UEs.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in:

  • 5G and future communication networks
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Virtual private networks (VPNs)

Problems Solved

  • Efficient resource allocation in communication networks
  • Avoiding denial of services to users due to inefficient resource management

Benefits

  • Improved network efficiency
  • Enhanced user experience
  • Better utilization of network resources

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Telecommunication companies
  • Network equipment manufacturers
  • IoT service providers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of dynamic resource allocation techniques in communication networks to optimize resource utilization.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method handle network congestion situations?

The patent application does not explicitly mention how the method deals with network congestion and whether it adjusts the quota release based on congestion levels.

What impact does this method have on network latency?

It is not clear from the abstract how this method affects network latency and whether it introduces any delays in the admission control process.


Original Abstract Submitted

a slice admission control method and a communication apparatus. for each slice of each ue, a determination is made to release a quota in a slice and that is occupied by the ue by using a single slice as a granularity and based on whether a slice use status of the ue is idle, or by setting valid duration in which the ue is admitted to the slice. the determination to release a quota in a slice and that is occupied by the ue enables the ue to not occupy a slice quota for a long time even in response to the ue not using the slice, and reduces a probability of a denial of services to another ue.
