METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING SERVICE CONTINUITY BY CONSIDERING NETWORK SLICE AREA IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340721 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING SERVICE CONTINUITY BY CONSIDERING NETWORK SLICE AREA IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
The disclosure pertains to a 5G or 6G communication system designed to support higher data transmission rates. A method executed by a base station in a wireless communication system is described. The method involves identifying a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session associated with a network slice based on availability information of the network slice. Deactivation of a User Plane (UP) resource for the PDU session is carried out if a User Equipment (UE) moves from a cell within a network slice area of service to a cell outside of the area, and the UP resource is active for the PDU session. Second information is transmitted to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) entity to request the deactivation of the UP resource.
- Identification of a PDU session associated with a network slice based on availability information.
- Deactivation of a UP resource for the PDU session when a UE moves between cells within and outside the network slice area.
- Transmission of second information to an AMF entity to request UP resource deactivation.
Potential Applications: - Enhanced data transmission in 5G and future 6G communication systems. - Efficient resource management in wireless networks. - Seamless handover between network slices for UEs.
Problems Solved: - Addressing the need for optimized resource allocation in dynamic network environments. - Ensuring uninterrupted data transmission for UEs moving between network slice areas.
Benefits: - Improved network efficiency and data transmission rates. - Enhanced user experience with seamless connectivity. - Better utilization of network resources.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Resource Management for 5G and 6G Communication Systems" This technology can be applied in telecommunications companies, network infrastructure providers, and IoT service providers to optimize resource allocation and improve data transmission efficiency in advanced communication systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the deactivation of UP resources benefit the overall network performance? 2. What are the key challenges in implementing seamless handover between network slices for UEs?
Original Abstract Submitted
the disclosure relates to a 5g or 6g communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. a method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system. a protocol data unit (pdu) session associated with a network slice is identified, based on first information on availability of the network slice. deactivation of a user plane (up) resource for the pdu session is performed, in case that a user equipment (ue) moves from a first cell inside a network slice area of service (ns-aos) to a second cell outside of the ns-aos, and the up resource is active for the pdu session. second information for requesting the deactivation of the up resource is transmitted to an access and mobility management function (amf) entity.
