HANDOVER CONTROL METHOD, ADMISSION CONTROL METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18221105 titled 'HANDOVER CONTROL METHOD, ADMISSION CONTROL METHOD, AND COMMUNICATION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes an application that improves handover control and admission control in a communication network.
- The application provides a method for ensuring continuity of network slice services when a terminal device switches between access network devices.
- The method involves obtaining mapping information between access network devices and network slices.
- Based on this mapping information, the application determines if the second access network device supports the network slice associated with the service being performed by the terminal device.
- If the second access network device supports the network slice, the application sends a request to enable the terminal device to access the second access network device.
- The second access network device then performs admission control to allow or deny access to the terminal device.
- This solution helps maintain a seamless network slice service during handovers and reduces the impact on the core network.
Original Abstract Submitted
This application provides a handover control method, an admission control method, and a communication apparatus. A first access network device obtains mapping information between an access network slice instance of a second access network device and a network slice; the first access network device determines, based on the mapping information, that the second access network device supports a first network slice associated with a service currently performed by a terminal device; and the first access network device sends first request information to the second access network device, where the first request information is used to request to enable the terminal device to access the second access network device, and then the second access network device performs admission control. In this technical solution, continuity of a network slice service can be ensured when the terminal device performs handover between access network devices, and impact on a core network can be reduced.
