Network Slice Session Control for PDU Quota Limits

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the network into separate slices (e.g., slice 105a, 105b, 105c) that can be independently managed and optimized for different services. Each slice is associated with specific network functions and can be controlled through dedicated control mechanisms, allowing the network to handle diverse services while maintaining manageable complexity through modular organization.

The patent introduces network slicing control as an intermediary layer between the core network and individual network functions. This control mechanism acts as a mediator that manages slice instantiation, modification, and termination, simplifying the overall network complexity by providing a centralized approach to handling multiple slices without requiring direct management of each individual network function.

The patent applies local quality by allowing different network slices to have distinct quality characteristics and resource allocation policies tailored to their specific service requirements. Each slice can be configured with appropriate resource parameters (e.g., bandwidth, latency requirements) that match its service type, enabling differentiated service quality without requiring uniform resource management across the entire network.

The patent implements dynamics through the ability to dynamically instantiate, modify, and terminate network slices based on real-time demand. The network can dynamically allocate resources to new slices or existing slices as needed, and the system can adapt slice configurations dynamically without requiring static, long-term resource reservations, thereby improving user coverage while maintaining flexible resource management.
