COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18489960 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a communication method involving session management and network elements. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:
- A session management function network element sends a request to a transport network control network element to establish a path.
- The request includes identifiers of an access network device and a mobile gateway selected for the session, as well as a Quality of Service (QoS) parameter for a specific flow in the session.
- The QoS parameter is determined based on a mapping between the QoS parameter and the service type of the flow, as well as the access network device and the mobile gateway.
- The session management function network element receives a response from the transport network control network element, which includes information about the transmission path for the QoS flow.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This communication method can be applied in various network environments, such as mobile networks or data centers.
- It can be used to establish and manage sessions between different network elements, ensuring efficient and reliable communication.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The method addresses the need for efficient session management in complex network environments.
- It allows for the establishment of specific transmission paths for different QoS flows, ensuring the appropriate level of service for each flow.
Benefits of this technology:
- The method enables better control and management of network sessions, leading to improved overall network performance.
- It allows for the optimization of network resources by allocating appropriate QoS parameters to different flows.
- The method enhances the user experience by ensuring the desired QoS for specific flows in a session.
Original Abstract Submitted
A communication method is disclosed. The method includes: A session management function network element sends a first path establish request to a transport network control network element, where the first path establish request includes an identifier of an access network device, an identifier of a mobile gateway selected for a session, and a first transport network (TN) Quality of Service (QoS) parameter of a first QoS flow in the session, and the first TN QoS parameter of the first QoS flow is determined based on a TN QoS parameter mapped to a first service type of the first QoS flow, the access network device, and the mobile gateway. The session management function network element receives a first path establish response from the transport network control network element, where the first path establish response includes information about a first TN transmission path of the first QoS flow.
