Application: Connecting to virtualized mobile core networks (Patent ID: US20240196452A1)
The patent filed by InterDigital Inc. describes a 5G Network Architecture that utilizes virtualization and network slicing. The user equipment (UE) interacts with an underlay network to establish connections to virtual network slices. Procedures are defined for assigning new slice instances to a UE, changing a UE Profile, and changing a UE's assigned slice instance. The method involves sending initial connection messages from the UE to an underlay network function, receiving response messages with new temporary identifiers and slice identifiers, and determining connections to default slices based on service descriptors. The network node interfaces with the slices and routes control plane packets accordingly.
Additionally, the method includes provisions for determining UE capabilities, checking for available access points, receiving broadcast identifiers for services, and handling profile change requests triggered by subscription changes. Users can manually enter new service profiles or trigger new slice requests through application level events. The patent also covers scenarios where initial connection messages do not include service descriptors, and the network node determines slice identifiers based on slice descriptors associated with default indications in the UE's subscription information. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive method for managing connections and network slices in a 5G environment, enhancing the efficiency and flexibility of network operations.
