MULTISESSION PAP/CHAP SUPPORT FOR WWC - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18558186 titled 'MULTISESSION PAP/CHAP SUPPORT FOR WWC

The abstract describes a method for providing multiple sets of legacy credentials to be applied to one subscription in a 5th generation (5G) system, where a subscriber initiates via legacy wireline access to the 5G system, with multiple communications sessions each requiring different credentials.

  • Receiving subscriber legacy wireline access via a gateway node of the subscriber at a gateway function of the 5G system.
  • Registering the subscriber and identifying the subscriber subscription based on line identification (ID).
  • Receiving subscription information from a subscription data structure of the 5G system.
  • Initiating multiple communications sessions between the subscriber and the 5G system by authenticating each session based on the line ID, relating the line ID to additional subscriber credentials stored in the subscription data structure, and applying additional subscriber credentials for authorization of individual communications sessions.

Potential Applications: - Enhanced security in multi-session communication environments. - Streamlined authentication processes for subscribers accessing 5G systems. - Improved user experience with seamless credential application.

Problems Solved: - Simplifying the management of multiple credentials for different communications sessions. - Enhancing security measures for subscriber access to 5G systems.

Benefits: - Increased efficiency in authentication processes. - Enhanced security for subscriber communications. - Improved user experience with reduced credential management complexity.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Security and Efficiency in Multi-Session Communication Environments" This technology could be applied in telecommunications companies, cybersecurity firms, and network infrastructure providers to enhance security and streamline authentication processes in 5G systems.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method improve security in multi-session communication environments? 2. What are the key advantages of applying multiple sets of legacy credentials to one subscription in a 5G system?


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of providing multiple sets of legacy credentials to be applied to one subscription in a 5th generation (5G) system, where a subscriber initiates via legacy wireline access to the 5G system, multiple communications sessions each requiring respective different credential. The method comprises receiving, at a gateway function of the 5G system, subscriber legacy wireline access via a gateway node of the subscriber, registering the subscriber and identifying the subscriber subscription based on line identification (ID). In response to registering the subscriber, receiving subscription information from a subscription data structure of the 5G system; and initiating the multiple communications sessions between the subscriber and the 5G system by having the gateway function authenticate each of the communications sessions based on the line ID, relate the line ID to additional subscriber credentials stored in the subscription data structure, and apply additional subscriber credentials for authorization of respective individual communications sessions.
