Non-Public Wireless Communication Networks - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240381237 titled 'Non-Public Wireless Communication Networks

The abstract describes a patent application for a mobile device that can access different standalone non-public networks (SNPNs) in various locations, including roaming ESNPNs for global enterprise network access. The device can prioritize multiple credentialed SNPNs for access.

• Mobile device can access different SNPNs in various locations
• Can access roaming ESNPNs for global enterprise network access
• Prioritizes multiple credentialed SNPNs for access
• New network identifier management function maintains ESNPN/RESNPN list
• NPNS implemented as network slice instances via S-NSSAI
• Device can access second SNPN different from home SNPN

Potential Applications: - Enhanced network access for mobile devices - Improved connectivity for enterprise networks globally

Problems Solved: - Simplifies network access for mobile devices - Prioritizes network access based on location and credentials

Benefits: - Seamless network access in different locations - Enhanced connectivity for enterprise networks

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Mobile Network Access Technology This technology can be used in telecommunications, IoT devices, and enterprise networks to improve network connectivity and access.

Questions about Mobile Network Access Technology: 1. How does this technology improve network access for mobile devices? This technology simplifies the process of accessing different networks in various locations, providing seamless connectivity for users.

2. What are the benefits of prioritizing multiple credentialed SNPNs for access? Prioritizing multiple credentialed SNPNs ensures that the device can connect to the most secure and reliable networks based on location and credentials.

Original Abstract Submitted

a mobile device (ue) may access standalone non-public networks (snpns) in various different locations as equivalent snpns (esnpns) corresponding to a home snpn of the device. the device may obtain a list of esnpns corresponding to the home snpn, and may access a second snpn at a location different from a location of the home snpn, in response to identifying the second snpn and the list including the second snpn as an esnpn corresponding to the home snpn of the device. the esnpns may include roaming esnpns (resnpns) for accessing an enterprise npn globally and/or at various different locations. the esnpn/resnpn list may be maintained in a new network identifier management function (nmf). npns may be implemented as network slice instances (nsis) via identifying data in the single network slice selection assistance information (s-nssai). multiple credentialed snpns of a ue may be prioritized for access by the ue.
