SESSION ESTABLISHMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18067934 titled 'SESSION ESTABLISHMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for establishing a session in a network element. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves sending a session establishment request to a target network element responsible for managing sessions.
  • The session establishment request includes information about a specific slice instance, which is a subset of the network resources dedicated to a particular service or application.
  • The target network element selects the appropriate slice instance based on the provided information to initiate the session establishment process.
  • The method also involves receiving a session establishment response from the target network element.
  • Based on the response, the method proceeds with the session establishment processing.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be applied in telecommunications networks to establish sessions for different services or applications.
  • It can be used in network function virtualization (NFV) environments to manage and allocate network resources efficiently.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method simplifies the process of establishing sessions by providing specific slice information, allowing for more efficient resource allocation.
  • It enables the selection of the appropriate slice instance from a pool of available instances, ensuring optimal performance for the session.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved resource utilization and allocation in network environments.
  • Streamlined session establishment process, reducing complexity and enhancing efficiency.
  • Enables better management of network resources in virtualized environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

A session establishment method, applied to a session management function network element, includes sending a session establishment request to a target user plane function network element. The session establishment request includes first slice information of a target slice instance. The first slice information indicates the target user plane function network element to select the target slice instance from a plurality of slice instances deployed in the target user plane function network element, to perform session establishment processing. The method also includes receiving a session establishment response sent by the target user plane function network element. The method further includes performing session establishment processing based on the session establishment response.
