NETWORK SLICE-SPECIFIC AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18004153 Titled 'NETWORK SLICE-SPECIFIC AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It explains that a communication device, also known as a user equipment (UE), can configure an indication related to network slice information. The UE can determine if the network slice information requires network slice-specific authentication and authorization (NSSAA) based on this indication. Additionally, the UE can determine an authentication credential associated with the network slice information and send an indication to an access and mobility management function (AMF) regarding the availability of this authentication credential. Based on the NSSAA of the network slice information, the UE can access a network slice associated with the network slice information.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) may configure an indication associated with network slice information. The UE may determine, based on the indication, that the network slice information is subject to network slice-specific authentication and authorization (NSSAA). Additionally or alternatively, the UE may determine an authentication credential associated with network slice information, and transmit, to an access and mobility management function (AMF), an indication related to an availability of an authentication credential associated with the network slice information. The UE may access a network slice associated with the network slice information based on the NSSAA of the network slice information.
