METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING NETWORK SLICES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17978408 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING NETWORK SLICES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a communication system for 5G or 6G networks that enables higher data transmission rates. It introduces an access and mobility management function (AMF) and a method performed by the AMF to handle registration requests for protocol data unit (PDU) sessions.

  • The AMF receives a registration request message from a terminal, which includes information about a requested slice associated with the PDU session.
  • It determines whether the requested slice is allowed and whether it is intended for network slice admission control (NSAC).
  • If the requested slice is allowed and for NSAC, the AMF checks if the slice is exempt from NSAC for the PDU session.
  • If the requested slice is exempt from NSAC, the AMF sends a registration accept message to the terminal as a response to the registration request.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • 5G and 6G communication systems
  • Mobile networks and wireless communication
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices and networks

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Higher data transmission rates: The system supports a higher data transmission rate, enabling faster and more efficient communication.
  • Access and mobility management: The AMF efficiently manages the registration requests and determines the eligibility of requested slices.
  • Network slice admission control: The technology ensures that the requested slices comply with the network slice admission control policies.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved network performance: The higher data transmission rate allows for faster and more reliable communication.
  • Efficient resource allocation: The AMF's ability to determine the eligibility of requested slices ensures optimal resource allocation in the network.
  • Enhanced user experience: Faster and more efficient communication leads to a better user experience for both individual users and IoT devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Provided are an access and mobility management function (AMF) and a method performed by an AMF, including receiving, from a terminal, a registration request message for a protocol data unit (PDU) session including information on a requested slice associated with the PDU session; determining whether the requested slice is allowed and whether the requested slice is for a network slice admission control (NSAC); if the requested slice is allowed for the terminal and is for the NSAC, determining whether the requested slice is exempt from the NSAC for the PDU session; and if the requested slice is exempt from the NSAC for the PDU session, transmitting, to the terminal, a registration accept message as a response to the registration request message.
