User Plane Based Exposure - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17908278 titled 'User Plane Based Exposure

Simplified Explanation

The invention is a method for operating a user equipment that requests a data packet flow from an application entity transmitted through a cellular network. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • The user equipment sends a request to a translating entity, which translates the name of the application entity to an address through which the application entity can be reached.
  • The request asks for the identification of a user plane entity that can handle the data packet flow in the cellular network.
  • The user equipment receives a response from the translating entity, which includes a user plane identifier that identifies the user plane entity.
  • The user equipment then sends a policy request to the identified user plane entity.
  • The policy request includes a flow identifier that allows the identification of the data packet flow in the cellular network, as well as policy information indicating the policy to be applied to the data packet flow for transmission through the cellular network.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be used in various applications where user equipment needs to request and transmit data packet flows through a cellular network.
  • It can be applied in mobile devices, IoT devices, and other wireless communication devices that rely on cellular networks for data transmission.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method simplifies the process of requesting and transmitting data packet flows by translating the name of the application entity to an address and identifying the user plane entity.
  • It provides a streamlined approach for handling data packet flows in the cellular network, reducing complexity and improving efficiency.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The method improves the overall performance and reliability of data packet flow transmission in cellular networks.
  • It enhances the user experience by ensuring smooth and uninterrupted data transmission.
  • The method reduces the burden on the user equipment by automating the process of requesting and transmitting data packet flows.


Original Abstract Submitted

The invention relates to a method for operating a user equipment () requesting a data packet flow from an application entity transmitted through a cellular network to the user equipment, comprising: —transmitting (S) a first request to a translating entity () configured to translate a name of the application entity providing the data packet flow to an address of the application entity through which the application entity can be reached, the first request requesting an identification of a user plane entity () configured to handle the data packet flow in the cellular network, —receiving (S) a response to the first request, the response comprising a user plane identifier identifying the user plane entity (), —transmitting (S) a policy request to the identified user plane entity (), the policy request comprising a flow identifier allowing an identification of the data packet flow in the cellular network, and policy information indicating a policy to be applied to the data packet flow in the cellular network for a transmission of the data packet flow through the cellular network.
