ACCESS AND MOBILITY POLICY CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137447 titled 'ACCESS AND MOBILITY POLICY CONTROL

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for access and mobility policy control in a communications network, involving receiving policy data for a user equipment, obtaining PDU session information, and modifying access and mobility policies based on the obtained information.

  • Receiving notification with access and mobility policy data for user equipment
  • Obtaining PDU session information for the user equipment
  • Modifying access and mobility policies based on PDU session information

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in telecommunications networks to efficiently manage access and mobility policies for user equipment, ensuring optimal network performance and user experience.

Problems Solved

1. Inefficient management of access and mobility policies in communications networks 2. Lack of real-time adjustment of policies based on user equipment behavior

Benefits

1. Improved network performance and user experience 2. Real-time policy adjustments based on user behavior 3. Enhanced network security and efficiency

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Access and Mobility Policies in Communications Networks" could be used in telecommunications companies, network service providers, and mobile operators to enhance network management and user satisfaction.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of traditional policy control methods in communications networks, which may not provide real-time adjustments based on user equipment behavior.

Unanswered Questions

How does this method handle conflicting policy requirements for different applications or packet flows?

The method described in the abstract focuses on modifying access and mobility policies based on PDU session information, but it does not specify how conflicting policy requirements are resolved in such scenarios.

What impact does this method have on network latency and data transmission speeds?

While the abstract mentions modifying policies based on user equipment behavior, it does not address the potential impact of these modifications on network latency and data transmission speeds.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method for access and mobility policy control in a communications network, the method comprising receiving at a first policy control entity for handling ue policies from a network node a notification including access and mobility policy data for a user equipment, the notification further including an application identifier or a packet flow descriptor to which the access and mobility policy data applies; obtaining at the first policy control entity pdu session information for the user equipment relative to the application identifier or the packet flow descriptor, particularly wherein the pdu session information is at least one of an application start/stop event, an out of credit event, a reallocation of credit event or a usage report; and modifying at least one access and mobility policy at the first policy control entity based on the obtained pdu session information. the network node may be a user data repository.
