APPLICATION FUNCTION (AF) PROVISIONING STATIC INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) ADDRESSES TO USER EQUIPMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18562136 titled 'APPLICATION FUNCTION (AF) PROVISIONING STATIC INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) ADDRESSES TO USER EQUIPMENTS

The present disclosure provides techniques for provisioning static internet protocol (IP) addresses or prefixes by an application function (AF) for user equipments (UEs) in a data network.

  • AF manages static IP addresses for UEs in a data network.
  • Provisioning addresses for a protocol data unit (PDU) session of a data network name (DNN) of a single-network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI).

Potential Applications: - Network management systems - Telecommunication infrastructure - Internet service providers

Problems Solved: - Efficient allocation of static IP addresses - Simplified management of IP address provisioning

Benefits: - Improved network performance - Enhanced security measures - Streamlined IP address management

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced IP Address Provisioning for Telecommunication Networks" This technology can be utilized by telecommunication companies to optimize IP address allocation and enhance network efficiency.

Questions about IP Address Provisioning: 1. How does this technology improve network security? This technology enhances network security by efficiently managing and provisioning static IP addresses, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

2. What are the potential cost savings associated with this IP address provisioning technique? By streamlining the IP address management process, companies can save on operational costs and improve overall network performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for provisioning static internet protocol (IP) addresses or prefixes (referred collectively as “addresses” herein) by an application function (AF). For example, the AF may manage (e.g., request to update and/or allocate) static IP addresses for one or more user equipments (UEs), such as for a protocol data unit (PDU) session of a data network name (DNN) of a single-network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI).
