Network Slice Quota Management Enhancements - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546661 titled 'Network Slice Quota Management Enhancements

Simplified Explanation

A network function enforces network slice quotas by identifying and updating quotas for specific network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI).

Key Features and Innovation

  • Identification and updating of network slice quotas for S-NSSAI.
  • Differentiation between quotas for 5G PDU sessions and interworking handovers between 5GC and EPC.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in telecommunications networks to efficiently manage network slice resources and ensure quality of service for different types of network traffic.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient enforcement of network slice quotas.
  • Differentiation between different types of network traffic for quota management.

Benefits

  • Improved network resource management.
  • Enhanced quality of service for different types of network traffic.

Commercial Applications

  • Telecom companies can use this technology to optimize network resource allocation and improve overall network performance, leading to better customer satisfaction and retention.

Prior Art

There may be existing technologies related to network slice management and quota enforcement in telecommunications networks.

Frequently Updated Research

Research on network slicing and resource management in 5G networks may provide further insights into the optimization of network slice quotas.

Questions about Network Slice Quota Enforcement

Question 1

How does this technology impact the overall efficiency of network resource management in telecommunications networks?

This technology improves the efficiency of network resource management by accurately identifying and updating network slice quotas based on specific network traffic requirements, ensuring optimal allocation of resources.

Question 2

What are the key differences between network slice quotas for 5G PDU sessions and interworking handovers between 5GC and EPC?

The network function distinguishes between quotas for 5G PDU sessions and interworking handovers to allocate resources appropriately for different types of network traffic, optimizing network performance and quality of service.


Original Abstract Submitted

A network function is responsible for enforcing network slice quotas. The network function identifies a network slice quota for a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI), determines that the network slice quota for the S-NSSAI includes a first quota corresponding to fifth generation (5G) packet data unit (PDU) sessions and a second quota corresponding to interworking handovers between a fifth generation core (5GC and an evolved packet core (EPC), receives a request to update the network slice quota and updates the network slice quota for the S-NSSAI based on the request.
