Methods and Systems for International Roaming - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18189156 titled 'Methods and Systems for International Roaming
The abstract describes a patent application for a roaming application in a core network that creates a temporary roaming profile for a roaming user in the Mobility Management Entity (MME) in response to a roaming pass being purchased by the user for a User Equipment (UE).
- The roaming application stores the temporary roaming profile in the MME, including the UE's identity and an Access Point Name (APN) associated with the roaming network.
- When the UE is within the coverage area of the roaming network, it sends an attach message to the roaming application, including its identity.
- The roaming application then establishes a bearer between the UE and a Packet Network Data Gateway (PGW) of the roaming network based on the APN in the temporary roaming profile.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced roaming services for mobile users. - Efficient management of temporary roaming profiles in core networks.
Problems Solved: - Simplifying the process of creating temporary roaming profiles for roaming users. - Streamlining the establishment of connections between UEs and roaming networks.
Benefits: - Improved user experience for roaming customers. - Enhanced network efficiency and management.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Roaming Services for Mobile Networks" This technology can be utilized by mobile network operators to offer seamless roaming services to their customers, improving user satisfaction and network performance.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the roaming experience for users?
- This technology simplifies the process of creating temporary roaming profiles and establishing connections, leading to a more seamless roaming experience.
2. What are the potential cost savings for mobile network operators with the implementation of this technology?
- By streamlining the roaming process, operators can potentially reduce operational costs and improve network efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
A roaming application in a core network receives a request to create a temporary roaming profile for a roaming user in the mobility management entity (MME) in response to a roaming pass being purchased by the roaming user for a user equipment (UE), stores, in the MME, the temporary roaming profile for the roaming user, wherein the temporary roaming profile includes an identity of the UE and an access point name (APN) associated with the roaming network, receives an attach message from the UE when the UE is located within a coverage area of the roaming network, wherein the attach message includes the identity of the UE, and creates a bearer between the UE and a packet network data gateway (PGW) of the roaming network based on the APN associated with the roaming network indicated in the temporary roaming profile for the roaming user.
