APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MOBILITY OF TERMINAL IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17954790 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MOBILITY OF TERMINAL IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method performed by a user equipment (UE) for managing roaming in a mobile network. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The UE receives roaming information, which includes details about the visited public land mobile network (PLMN), from an access and mobility management function (AMF).
  • Based on the received roaming information, the UE selects a PLMN from a list of identified PLMNs.
  • The UE transmits a message to release a previously established protocol data unit (PDU) session to a session management function (SMF).
  • The UE performs the release of the PDU session based on a response message received for the transmitted message.
  • Finally, the UE transmits a message to register the selected PLMN.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Mobile network operators can use this method to efficiently manage roaming for their users.
  • Users can benefit from seamless roaming experiences and improved connectivity when traveling to different PLMNs.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method simplifies the process of selecting and registering a PLMN for roaming, reducing the complexity for both the UE and the network.
  • It ensures that the PDU session is properly released before switching to a new PLMN, avoiding any potential issues with data transmission.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Users can enjoy uninterrupted connectivity while roaming, as the method ensures a smooth transition between PLMNs.
  • Mobile network operators can optimize their network resources by efficiently managing roaming sessions.
  • The method enhances the overall user experience by simplifying the roaming process and reducing potential disruptions.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method including receiving roaming information including visited public land mobile network (PLMN) information from an access and mobility management function (AMF); selecting a PLMN among at least one PLMN identified based on verification of the received roaming information; transmitting a message to release a protocol data unit (PDU) session previously established at the UE to a session management function (SMF); performing PDU session release based on a response message for the transmitted message; and transmitting a message to register the selected PLMN.
