COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18491520 titled 'COMMUNICATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a system where a terminal device in a public network core network wants to access a device in a private network core network. If both networks are in the same trusted domain, the first network element device sends an indication to the second network element device to skip the authentication process for the terminal device.

  • The patent application proposes a method for allowing access from a public network to a private network without the need for authentication if both networks are in the same trusted domain.
  • The first network element device initiates the request from the terminal device to the second network element device.
  • The first indication information is sent from the first network element device to the second network element device.
  • The first indication information instructs the second network element device to skip the authentication operation for the terminal device.
  • This system aims to streamline the access process for trusted devices within the same domain.

Potential Applications:

  • Secure access to private network resources from trusted devices in a public network.
  • Streamlining the authentication process for devices within the same trusted domain.

Problems Solved:

  • Simplifies the access process for trusted devices in a public network trying to reach a private network.
  • Reduces the need for repetitive authentication for devices within the same trusted domain.

Benefits:

  • Improved efficiency by skipping authentication for trusted devices within the same domain.
  • Enhanced user experience by reducing the authentication steps required for accessing private network resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

A terminal device initiates a request to a first network element device in a public network core network to access a second network element device in a private network core network. If the private network core network and the public network core network are in a same trusted domain, the first network element device sends first indication information to the second network element device, where the first indication information indicates the second network element device to skip performing an authentication operation on the terminal device.
