ACCESS AND MOBILITY POLICY CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236240 titled 'ACCESS AND MOBILITY POLICY CONTROL

The abstract describes a method for access and mobility policy control in a communications network. The method involves receiving notification with access and mobility policy data for a user equipment, along with an application identifier or packet flow descriptor. The first policy control entity obtains PDU session information for the user equipment relative to the application identifier or packet flow descriptor, and then modifies at least one access and mobility policy based on the obtained PDU session information.

Receiving notification with access and mobility policy data for user equipment
Obtaining PDU session information for the user equipment
Modifying access and mobility policies based on PDU session information
Application identifier or packet flow descriptor included in the notification
First policy control entity handles UE policies

Potential Applications: - Telecommunications networks - Mobile network management systems - Policy control in data networks

Problems Solved: - Efficient management of access and mobility policies - Real-time adjustment of policies based on user equipment behavior - Enhanced network performance and user experience

Benefits: - Improved network efficiency - Enhanced user experience - Real-time policy adjustments

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Policy Control for Communications Networks" This technology could be used in telecommunications companies to optimize network performance and enhance user experience. It could also be valuable for network equipment manufacturers looking to offer advanced policy control features.

Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include existing methods for policy control in communications networks, as well as research on dynamic policy adjustments based on user behavior.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be exploring ways to further automate and optimize policy control in communications networks, as well as studying the impact of real-time policy adjustments on network performance and user satisfaction.

Questions about Access and Mobility Policy Control: 1. How does this method improve network efficiency compared to traditional policy control methods? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing real-time policy adjustments based on PDU session information?

Original Abstract Submitted

a method for access and mobility policy control in a communications network, the method comprising receiving at a first policy control entity for handling ue policies from a network node a notification including access and mobility policy data for a user equipment, the notification further including an application identifier or a packet flow descriptor to which the access and mobility policy data applies; obtaining at the first policy control entity pdu session information for the user equipment relative to the application identifier or the packet flow descriptor, particularly wherein the pdu session information is at least one of an application start/stop event, an out of credit event, a reallocation of credit event or a usage report; and modifying at least one access and mobility policy at the first policy control entity based on the obtained pdu session information. the network node may be a user data repository.
