NETWORK SLICING BASED VPLMN PRIORITIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18689197 titled 'NETWORK SLICING BASED VPLMN PRIORITIZATION

Simplified Explanation: The patent application discusses systems and methods for prioritizing network slicing in visited or non-public networks for wireless communication devices in roaming scenarios.

  • **Obtaining SoR Information:** The method involves obtaining Steering of Roaming (SoR) information for the wireless communication device, which includes a prioritized list of visited or non-public networks based on network slices requested by the device.
  • **Sending SoR Information:** The method includes sending a message with the SoR information to the wireless communication device.
  • **NF Operations:** The patent also covers the operations of Network Functions (NFs) in both the home network and visited or non-public network.
  • **Device Operation:** It describes the operation of wireless communication devices in relation to network slicing prioritization.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in telecommunications, specifically in managing network resources for roaming wireless devices.

Problems Solved: The technology addresses the need for efficient prioritization of network slicing in visited or non-public networks for roaming devices.

Benefits: - Improved network resource management - Enhanced user experience for roaming wireless devices - Optimal utilization of network slices based on device requirements

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized by mobile network operators to enhance the quality of service for roaming subscribers, leading to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Questions about Network Slicing: 1. How does network slicing benefit wireless communication devices in roaming scenarios? 

  - Network slicing allows for customized network configurations based on device requirements, ensuring optimal performance and resource utilization.

2. What are the key factors considered in prioritizing network slices for wireless devices in visited networks? 

  - The prioritization is based on the requested network slices by the device and its subscription status.


Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods are disclosed for network slicing based visited or non-public network prioritization. In one embodiment, a method performed by a first Network Function (NF) in a home network of a wireless communication device in a roaming scenario comprises obtaining Steering of Roaming (SoR) information for the wireless communication device, the SoR information comprising a prioritized list of visited or non-public networks that are prioritized based on one or more network slices requested by the wireless communication device and/or one or more network slices to which the wireless communication device is subscribed. The method further comprises sending, towards the wireless communication device, a message comprising the SoR information. Embodiments of a first NF, embodiments of a second NF in the visited or non-public network and methods of operation thereof, and embodiments of a wireless communication device and method of operation thereof are also disclosed.
