UE-Preferred Network Slice Management - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17930577 titled 'UE-Preferred Network Slice Management

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a user equipment (UE) in a cellular wireless network. The UE is designed to send a registration request to a base station operating on a specific frequency band. The registration request includes information about the preferred network slices that the UE wants to access. The UE then receives a registration response from the base station, which includes information about whether the preferred network slices are available on the same frequency band and where the UE can access any unsupported network slices.

  • The patent application is for a user equipment (UE) in a cellular wireless network.
  • The UE sends a registration request to a base station operating on a specific frequency band.
  • The registration request includes information about the preferred network slices that the UE wants to access.
  • The UE receives a registration response from the base station.
  • The registration response includes information about whether the preferred network slices are available on the same frequency band.
  • The registration response also includes information about where the UE can access any unsupported network slices.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in cellular wireless networks to improve the efficiency of network slice management.
  • It can be used to enhance the user experience by allowing UEs to access their preferred network slices.
  • The technology can be implemented in 5G networks to enable seamless connectivity and efficient resource allocation.

Problems Solved

  • The technology solves the problem of inefficient network slice management by allowing UEs to indicate their preferred network slices.
  • It addresses the issue of unsupported network slices by providing information on alternative access points.
  • The technology improves the overall user experience by ensuring that UEs can access their preferred network slices.

Benefits

  • The technology improves network efficiency by allowing UEs to indicate their preferred network slices, enabling better resource allocation.
  • It enhances the user experience by ensuring that UEs can access their preferred network slices.
  • The technology provides flexibility by offering alternative access points for unsupported network slices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A user equipment (UE) is configured to transmit a registration request to a first base station of a cellular wireless network, wherein the first base station operates on a first frequency band, the registration request including a first indication of one or more preferred network slices and receive a registration response from the first base station, the registration response including (i) a second indication of whether the one or more preferred network slices are accessible on the first frequency band and (ii) a third indication of where the UE can access any unsupported one or ones of the one or more preferred network slices.
