US 2024/0406069 A1 · NETWORK SLICING BASED ON SERVICE TYPE

Abstract

Techniques for determining a network slice for a communication session associated with user equipment (UE) are described herein. A fifth generation telecommunications network can implement a server to determine one or more network slices that enable the UE to receive a variety of services and/or applications as part of the communication session. The server can determine a location of the UE and application activity by the UE over a previous time period. The server can generate a set of network slices for the UE based on the location of the UE and the previous application activity. The server can transmit the set of network slices to the UE to cause the UE to access a network slice of the set of network slices during the communication session.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a server of a fifth generation (5G) telecommunications network, a message from a user equipment (UE) requesting a communication session;
identifying, by the server, a device identifier associated with the message;
receiving, by the server and based at least in part on the device identifier, historical data associated with the UE from a Home Subscriber Server of the 5G telecommunications network, the historical data identifying application activity by the UE over a previous time period;
determining a location of the UE;
determining, by the server and based at least in part on the historical data and the location, a set of network slices for establishing the communication session over the 5G telecommunications network;
and
transmitting the set of network slices to the UE over the 5G telecommunications network to cause the UE to access a network slice of the set of network slices to provide the communication session.

4 more elements

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by a server of a telecommunications network, a message from a user equipment (UE) requesting a communication session;
identifying, by the server, a device identifier associated with the message;
receiving, by the server and based at least in part on the device identifier, historical data associated with the UE from a Home Subscriber Server of the telecommunications network;
determining a location of the UE;
determining, by the server and based at least in part on the historical data and the location, a set of network slices for establishing the communication session over the telecommunications network;
and
transmitting the set of network slices to the UE over the telecommunications network to cause the UE to access a network slice of the set of network slices to provide the communication session.

7 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions executable by one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, by a server of a telecommunications network, a message from a user equipment (UE) requesting a communication session;
identifying, by the server, a device identifier associated with the message;
receiving, by the server and based at least in part on the device identifier, historical data associated with the UE from a Home Subscriber Server of the telecommunications network;
determining a location of the UE;
determining, by the server and based at least in part on the historical data and the location, a set of network slices for establishing the communication session over the telecommunications network;
and
transmitting the set of network slices to the UE over the telecommunications network to cause the UE to access a network slice of the set of network slices to provide the communication session.
