METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISCOVERING AND SELECTING NETWORK PROVIDING CONNECTIVITY FOR PROVISIONING USER SUBSCRIPTION DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18622060 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISCOVERING AND SELECTING NETWORK PROVIDING CONNECTIVITY FOR PROVISIONING USER SUBSCRIPTION DATA
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for selecting a network to transmit user subscription data in a wireless communication system.
- User equipment (UE) identifies preconfigured information including lists of network groups providing initial access to a non-public network (NPN).
- The UE receives second information from base stations, including lists of network groups supported by the base stations for initial access to the NPN.
- The UE selects a network to be initially accessed based on the first and second information.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems to efficiently select networks for transmitting user subscription data. - It can enhance the connectivity and reliability of network access for users in different environments.
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of selecting a network for transmitting user subscription data. - Improves the efficiency of network selection in wireless communication systems.
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience with improved network connectivity. - Streamlined network selection process for transmitting user subscription data.
Commercial Applications: - Telecom companies can utilize this technology to optimize network selection for their subscribers. - Device manufacturers can integrate this technology to enhance the performance of wireless devices in selecting networks.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of network selection in wireless communication systems?
- This technology streamlines the process by providing preconfigured information and lists of supported network groups for easier network selection.
2. What are the potential benefits for users in utilizing this method and apparatus for network selection?
- Users can experience enhanced connectivity and reliability when transmitting their subscription data through the selected network.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and apparatus for discovering and selecting a network that provides connectivity for transmitting user subscription data is provided. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes a transceiver and at least one processor configured to identify preconfigured first information comprising a first list, the first list comprising at least one identifier (ID) of at least one network group providing an initial access to a non-public network (NPN), receive, from at least one base station via the transceiver, second information comprising at least one second list, the at least one second list comprising at least one ID of at least one network group which is supported by the at least one base station and provides an initial access to the NPN, and select a network to be initially accessed from a network group corresponding to at least one ID included in the first list and the at least one second list, based on the first information and the second information.
