Handling User Equipment Identifications - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18292127 titled 'Handling User Equipment Identifications
The abstract describes methods, apparatus, and systems in a wireless communication network, where a method is performed by a first network entity in the core network domain.
- The method involves receiving a request to retrieve user equipment identification from a second entity.
- In response, the first network entity sends a request to a third network entity in the core network domain to retrieve the specific UE identification.
- The first network entity then receives the UE identification from the third network entity and sends it back to the second entity.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various wireless communication networks to efficiently retrieve user equipment identification. - It can enhance network management and security by accurately identifying user equipment.
Problems Solved: - Streamlines the process of retrieving user equipment identification in a wireless communication network. - Improves network efficiency and security by ensuring accurate identification of user equipment.
Benefits: - Enhanced network management and security. - Improved efficiency in retrieving user equipment identification.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced User Equipment Identification Technology for Wireless Networks This technology can be commercially used by telecommunication companies, network operators, and equipment manufacturers to improve network management and security. It can also benefit industries that rely on wireless communication networks for their operations.
Questions about User Equipment Identification Technology: 1. How does this technology improve network security? - This technology enhances network security by accurately identifying user equipment, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology on a large scale? - Implementing this technology on a large scale may require significant infrastructure upgrades and coordination among multiple network entities.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, apparatus and systems performed and configured to operate in a wireless communication network are presented. In example implementations, a method is provided. The method is performed by a first network entity in a core network domain, (CND), of a wireless communication network. The method comprises receiving, by the first network entity from a second entity, a request to retrieve user equipment, (UE), identification. The method further comprises, in response to the request, sending, by the first network entity to a third network entity in the CND, a request to retrieve from the third network entity the UE identification which is specific to the second entity. The first network entity receives from the third network entity the UE identification specific to the second entity. The method further comprises sending, by the first network entity to the second entity, the UE identification specific to the second entity.
