Application: User equipment/wireless transmit/receive unit-provided data networks on wtrus (Patent ID: US20230413212A1)

The patent filed by InterDigital Inc. describes systems and methods for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to activate and deactivate user equipment (UE)/WTRU-provided data networks (UPDN). The WTRU can advertise the availability of a UPDN, such as a 5G network, and transfer a UPDN software application onto the device for implementation. Authentication and authorization processes are in place for the WTRU to connect to a host for a specific UPDN instance, with installation and updates of the UPDN software being configured as needed. Additionally, the WTRU can provide information to a service provider for the installation and updating of UPDN software, while control connectivity and path selection for UPDN are determined by WTRU route selection policy rules. UPDN profiles and subscriptions can be configured within a system, such as a 5G system, and UPDN can be provisioned within the network.

The patent also includes claims related to a WTRU providing a network, where the device can determine and register a network, send messages to network nodes for registration, and establish data sessions with other WTRUs using the network name associated with the first network. The network provided by the WTRU can be a UPDN, with the network name being a domain network name (DNN) and the data session being a protocol data unit (PDU) session. Various criteria are used to determine when session request messages are sent, including network information and subscriptions associated with the network. Authentication requests may be sent to network nodes for data session establishment, and UPDN-related information elements can be included in messages to indicate different UPDN instances. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system for managing and utilizing UPDNs within wireless networks.
