US 11,689,996 B2 · Access identifier and network slice access management

Abstract

An access identifier and network slice access management component (ANMC) is disclosed. The ANMC can receive service access update information from an entity, for example a customer/enterprise, that be used to update service access of a user equipment (UE) to services of a network. Embodiments of the ANMC can facilitate updating an access identity parameter, updating an access priority parameter, updating a network slice access parameter, or combinations thereof. An ANMC can be embodied in a virtualized network function, as hardware, as software, or combinations thereof. An ANMC can be local to a network supporting the UE or can be located remotely from the network supporting the UE, such as in execution on a server of a cloud platform. The ANMC can support management of UE service access by an entity other than a carrier supporting the UE via a device external to a network of the carrier.
