METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RESTRICTED SERVICE ACCESS BETWEEN NETWORK FUNCTIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORK - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121610 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RESTRICTED SERVICE ACCESS BETWEEN NETWORK FUNCTIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORK

Simplified Explanation

The disclosure pertains to a method for providing restricted service access in a wireless network by a first network entity. This involves requesting an access-token from a NRF entity to access a second network entity, receiving a message with restricted service access based on the access-token, sending a restricted UE context transfer request to the second network entity, and receiving a UE context transfer response.

• Method for providing restricted service access in a wireless network:

   - Request access-token from NRF entity
   - Receive message with restricted service access
   - Send restricted UE context transfer request
   - Receive UE context transfer response

• • Potential Applications of this Technology:**

- Enhanced security in wireless networks - Efficient management of service access in network environments

• • Problems Solved by this Technology:**

- Ensuring secure and controlled access to network services - Streamlining the process of transferring UE context in wireless networks

• • Benefits of this Technology:**

- Improved network security and access control - Enhanced efficiency in managing service access requests

• • Potential Commercial Applications of this Technology:**

- Telecommunications companies - Network security firms

• • Possible Prior Art:**

- Prior art related to access control mechanisms in wireless networks - Previous patents on UE context transfer protocols

• • Unanswered Questions:**

• How does this method impact the overall performance of the wireless network?
• Are there any potential vulnerabilities in the process of granting restricted service access?

Original Abstract Submitted

the disclosure relates to a 5g or 6g communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. embodiments herein disclose a method for providing restricted service access in a wireless network by a first network entity (i.e., target amf entity ()). the method includes requesting a nrf entity () to grant an access-token to access a second network entity (i.e., initial amf entity ()). further, the method includes receiving a message comprising a restricted service access to the second network entity based on the access-token. further, the method includes sending a restricted ue context transfer request to the second network entity based on the message comprising the restricted service access. further, the method includes receiving a ue context transfer response from the second network entity based on the restricted ue context transfer request.
