Network Slice Group Connection Through Aggregated Terminal Requests
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing 5G network slice connection methods require each terminal device in a family to separately apply for network slices, affecting user experience during simultaneous service connections like live streaming or gaming.
Innovation Solution
A network slice connection method for terminal devices in a group, where a single device acquires and transmits network slice and device information to a server to connect multiple devices to slices, eliminating the need for individual applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each terminal device separately applies for network slice connection, then the network can ensure individual device connectivity, but the user experience deteriorates during simultaneous service connections
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple network slice connection requests into a single request. The first terminal device collects network slice information and device information from multiple terminal devices, then transmits this aggregated information to the network side. This allows multiple devices to be connected to network slices simultaneously through one application, improving user experience while maintaining connectivity reliability.
2Reliability
If multiple terminal devices separately apply for network slices, then each device gets individual connection, but the connection efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The first terminal device performs preliminary actions by collecting network slice information and device information from multiple terminal devices before transmitting to the network side. This pre-processing aggregation of information enables efficient batch connection requests, improving connection efficiency while ensuring stable connections for all devices.
3Productivity
If a single terminal device applies for network slice for the whole group, then connection efficiency improves, but the network cannot distinguish individual device requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the network slice connection into two parts: network slice information (common for all devices) and device information (specific to each device). The first terminal device collects both types of information separately, then transmits them together to the network side. This segmentation allows efficient batch processing while preserving device-specific requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The first terminal device acts as an intermediary between the terminal devices and the network side. It collects information from multiple devices, processes it, and transmits it to the network side. This intermediary role enables efficient connection requests while ensuring that device-specific information is not lost, as the intermediary carefully aggregates and preserves all necessary data.

AI summary
Disclosed are a network slice connection method, a terminal device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The network slice connection method may include: acquiring, in response to acquiring a slice connection triggering signal, first network slice information and device information of the terminal device in the device group and generating a terminal device identifier list according to the device information; acquiring, in response to acquiring selection information indicating a selection of a target terminal device identifier from the terminal device identifier list, device information of a target terminal device corresponding to the target terminal device identifier according to the selection information; and transmitting the first network slice information and the device information of the target terminal device to a server, such that the server connects the target terminal device to a network slice according to the first network slice information and the device information of the target terminal device.
