HARMONIZATION OF SPECTRUM ACCESS TIER AND CORE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18127523 Titled 'HARMONIZATION OF SPECTRUM ACCESS TIER AND CORE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes techniques for harmonizing a spectrum access tier and a core network architecture. It explains that an access and mobility management function (AMF) of a network can receive a spectrum inquiry request from a base station to an automated frequency coordinator. The automated frequency coordinator uses interfaces to determine a spectrum inquiry response, which describes an available frequency band of a spectrum access tier of another network. The AMF then transmits this response to the base station.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques are disclosed for the harmonization of a spectrum access tier and a core network architecture. One example includes a method implemented for the harmonization of a spectrum access tier and a core network architecture. An access and mobility management function (AMF) of a first network can receive a first request message, including a spectrum inquiry request from a base station to an automated frequency coordinator of the first network. The automated frequency coordinator can use an AMF interface and an automated frequency coordinator interface to determine a spectrum inquiry response. The spectrum inquiry response can describe an available frequency band of a spectrum access tier of a second network for the base station. The AMF can transmit the spectrum inquiry response to the base station.
