TRAFFIC STEERING FOR NON-PUBLIC NETWORKS AND PUBLIC LAND MOBILE NETWORK CLOUDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17804421 titled 'TRAFFIC STEERING FOR NON-PUBLIC NETWORKS AND PUBLIC LAND MOBILE NETWORK CLOUDS

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a method for traffic steering in non-public networks and public land mobile network (PLMN) clouds. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves retrieving a subscriber profile for a user equipment when it requests access to the communication network.
  • The request includes first data network information that is different from the second data network information associated with the communication network.
  • If a specific attribute of the subscriber profile matches a defined value, the first data network information is replaced with the second data network information.
  • The request is then routed to the core network equipment of the communication network.

Overall, this method allows for efficient traffic steering by dynamically replacing data network information based on subscriber profiles.


Original Abstract Submitted

Traffic steering for non-public networks and public land mobile network (PLMN) clouds is provided. A method can include retrieving, by a system comprising a processor and associated with a communication network, a subscriber profile for a user equipment in response to receiving a request from the user equipment for access to the communication network, wherein the request comprises first data network information that is distinct from second data network information associated with the communication network; and, in response to an attribute of the subscriber profile being determined to be equal to a defined value, replacing, by the system, the first data network information in the request with the second data network information and routing, by the system, the request to core network equipment of the communication network.
