Network Slice Routing for App Access Without Version Updates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing applications in terminals have different versions, leading to reluctance among users to upgrade, which hinders the rapid deployment of network slicing services due to high modification costs and complex internal logic.
Innovation Solution
A method for accessing a network slice that involves acquiring access information of a target network slice based on an application's request, generating a routing policy, and configuring a network interface to enable seamless communication without requiring application updates, using system framework modules like network monitoring interception, connection, and routing information configuration.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a user equipment establishes a PDU session for a network slice through manual configuration or network side selection, then the network slice can be accessed, but the user experience is poor and the access process is complex when multiple network slices are available
Solution Approach 1:
The user equipment autonomously selects the appropriate network slice by receiving slice information from the terminal profile database, comparing it with service requirements, and making the selection without manual intervention or complex network side procedures. This self-service mechanism simplifies the access process while improving user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal profile database pre-stores network slice information including slice identifiers, service requirements, and selection criteria before the user equipment needs to access a network slice. This preliminary preparation enables the user equipment to quickly and autonomously make slice selection decisions without complex real-time negotiations.
2Productivity
If manual configuration or network side selection is used for PDU session establishment, then network slice access is achieved, but the access efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The user equipment autonomously performs slice selection by querying the terminal profile database and making decisions based on pre-stored slice information and current service requirements. This eliminates time-consuming manual configuration and complex network side selection procedures, significantly improving access efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
Network slice information including selection criteria and service requirements are pre-configured in the terminal profile database before actual access is needed. This preliminary preparation allows the user equipment to rapidly match service requirements with appropriate slices, reducing session establishment time.
3Ease of operation
If the user equipment autonomously selects network slice, then the access process is simplified, but the user equipment needs to obtain slice information from terminal profile database
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal profile database serves as an intermediary that stores and manages network slice information. The user equipment interacts with this database to obtain pre-organized slice information, which simplifies the selection process while the database handles the complexity of information management centrally rather than in each device.
