TRACKING AREA SELECTION METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240179618 titled 'TRACKING AREA SELECTION METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for selecting a tracking area in a network slice for a terminal device. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:
- A mobility management network element initiates an authentication and authorization procedure for a network slice requested by a terminal.
- The network element determines the identification information of the network slice that the terminal is allowed to access.
- Based on this information, the network element obtains the identification information of a target network slice and corresponding radio resource information.
- Finally, the network element sends the identification information of the target network slice and the radio resource information to an access network device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Enhanced network slice management in 5G networks
- Improved security and access control for terminal devices
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient tracking area selection for terminal devices in network slices
- Streamlined authentication and authorization procedures in mobile networks
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced network performance and resource allocation
- Improved user experience and security for terminal devices
Potential commercial applications of this technology:
- Mobile network operators
- Network equipment manufacturers
- IoT service providers
Possible prior art:
- Prior methods for tracking area selection in mobile networks
- Existing authentication and authorization procedures for network slices
Unanswered questions: 1. How does this method handle handovers between different network slices? 2. What impact does this tracking area selection method have on network latency and throughput?
Original Abstract Submitted
a tracking area selection method, a device, and a system are provided. the method includes: a mobility management network element initiates an authentication and authorization procedure for a network slice on which authentication and authorization are to be performed and that is in a network slice requested by a terminal; determines, based on a result of the authentication and authorization procedure, identification information of a network slice that the terminal is allowed to access; obtains, based on first information and the identification information of the network slice that the terminal is allowed to access, identification information of a target network slice and radio resource information corresponding to the target network slice; and sends the identification information of the target network slice and the radio resource information corresponding to the target network slice to an access network device.
