Network Access Configuration Update for Local Area Data Networks

The patent applies local quality by filtering configuration information delivery to only those terminals that are currently in the service area and have subscribed to the relevant DNN. Instead of uniform broadcasting to all terminals, the system tailors the notification delivery to specific local conditions (terminal location and subscription status), thereby reducing unnecessary network overhead while ensuring reliable notification to the target audience.

The patent segments the terminal population into distinct groups based on their service area location and DNN subscription status. The mobility management network element identifies and separates terminals that should receive configuration updates from those that should not, delivering information only to the relevant segment. This segmentation prevents wasted bandwidth on terminals that cannot or should not access the local area data network.

The patent applies partial action by sending configuration information only to the necessary subset of terminals rather than all terminals. The mobility management network element determines exactly which terminals need the configuration update based on their current location in the service area and their subscription to the DNN, delivering information to precisely the right amount of recipients without over-delivery.

The system enables terminals to effectively self-identify as recipients through their subscription information and location data stored in the mobility management network element. Terminals that are subscribed to a DNN and located in the service area automatically qualify for receiving configuration updates without needing explicit requests, while others are excluded automatically.
