APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NETWORK SLICE CONTROL IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18448660 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NETWORK SLICE CONTROL IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a network device in a communication system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves a network device receiving an access request message from a terminal for a network slice.
  • The network device obtains the external network identifier of the terminal from a unified data repository (UDR).
  • The network device then receives information from an external network server on whether to allow the terminal access to the network slice based on its external network identifier.
  • Finally, the network device transmits an access control response message to the access and mobility management function (AMF).

Bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

  • The method allows a network device to handle access requests from terminals for specific network slices.
  • By obtaining the external network identifier of the terminal from a unified data repository, the network device can uniquely identify the terminal.
  • The network device then communicates with an external network server to determine whether the terminal should be granted access to the requested network slice.
  • This approach enables efficient and secure access control for network slices in a communication system.
  • The method improves the overall management and control of network resources by ensuring that only authorized terminals can access specific network slices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method performed by a network device in a communication system is provided. The method includes the steps of receiving an access request message of a terminal for a network slice from an access and mobility management function (AMF), obtaining, from a unified data repository (UDR), an external network identifier of the terminal, receiving, from an external network server, information on whether to allow the terminal access to the network slice on the basis of the external network identifier of the terminal, and transmitting an access control response message to the AMF.
