RESTRICTING NETWORK ACCESS FOR UNAUTHORIZED USER DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031810 titled 'RESTRICTING NETWORK ACCESS FOR UNAUTHORIZED USER DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes systems, methods, and devices that enable efficient access control without consuming much network resources at the access node level.

• The method involves a mobile device receiving a message broadcast by a base station, which includes system information block (SIB) indicating an access category with a predefined value.
• The mobile device determines if the access category with the predefined value matches configuration information from a configuration server operated by a network operator.
• Based on this determination, the mobile device selectively attempts to access a network.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Wireless communication systems
• Mobile networks
• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• Smart home automation
• Industrial automation

Problems solved by this technology:

• Efficient access control without consuming excessive network resources
• Improved network performance and reliability
• Reduced congestion and latency in wireless communication
• Enhanced user experience in accessing networks

Benefits of this technology:

• Optimal utilization of network resources
• Improved efficiency in network access
• Reduced network congestion and improved reliability
• Enhanced user experience with faster and more reliable network access

Original Abstract Submitted

systems, methods, and devices that enable efficient access control without consuming much network resources at the access node level are disclosed. in one example aspect, a method for wireless communication includes receiving, by a mobile device, a message broadcast by a base station, the message comprises system information block (sib) that indicates an access category having a predefined value. the method includes determining, by the mobile device, whether the access category having the predefined value matches configuration information from a configuration server operated by a network operator. the method also includes selectively attempting to access a network based on the determining.
