Methods and Devices in Communication Network - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240196206 titled 'Methods and Devices in Communication Network

The present disclosure describes a method for a relay entity to provide a user ID of a remote UE under privacy protection to a first network function in a network. This involves obtaining contact information of a second NF and a private ID corresponding to the user ID from the second NF, which can be used by the first NF to resolve the user ID based on the private ID, and then sending this information to the first NF.

  • Relay entity provides user ID of remote UE under privacy protection to a first NF in a network.
  • Obtains contact information and private ID from a second NF to facilitate resolution of the user ID.
  • Enables secure communication between network functions while protecting user privacy.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in telecommunications networks to ensure secure and private communication between network functions.

Problems Solved: Ensures privacy protection for user IDs in network communications. Facilitates secure communication between network functions.

Benefits: Enhanced privacy protection for user information. Improved security in network communications.

Commercial Applications: Telecommunications companies can use this technology to enhance the security and privacy of their network communications, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method ensure the privacy protection of user IDs in network communications? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for data security in telecommunications networks?


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure provides a method for a relay entity to provide a user id of a remote ue under privacy protection to a first network function (nf) in a network, wherein connectivity between the remote ue and the network is provided by the relay entity, comprising obtaining contact information of a second nf and a private id corresponding to the user id from the second nf, wherein the contact information can be used by the first nf to contact the second nf to resolve the user id based on the private id; and sending the contact information and the private id to the first nf. corresponding methods for the remote ue, the first nf and the second nf are also provided. the corresponding apparatus, system, device, computer-readable storage and carrier, etc. thereof are also provided.
