Solution Overview

Problem

User equipment that is not provisioned for SA 5G service faces challenges in quickly registering with a SA 5G network, leading to poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A network search method for SA 5G service auto-provisioning, where user equipment sends a registration request to a network side device, receives a registration reject response if no subscription data is found, and upon successful service provisioning, sends another request after receiving a notification message, enabling quick registration with the 5G network.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If user equipment sends a registration request to SA 5G network without pre-provisioned service, then the network can process the request differently by different operators, but the user equipment cannot quickly register with the SA 5G network

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregistration successVSAvoidregistration time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The network side device performs preliminary service provisioning actions automatically when detecting a registration request from user equipment without SA 5G service. The device queries subscription data, determines service eligibility, and completes provisioning before the user equipment needs to register, eliminating the time delay associated with post-registration provisioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The network side device implements a feedback mechanism by monitoring registration requests and automatically triggering service provisioning workflows. When the device detects that user equipment lacks SA 5G service provisioning, it initiates automatic service acquisition through operator-specific procedures, then confirms completion by allowing successful registration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If automatic service provisioning is implemented, then user equipment can quickly register, but the network side device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregistration speedVSAvoidnetwork side device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The network side device performs self-service by automatically detecting when user equipment lacks SA 5G service provisioning and initiating the provisioning process without manual intervention. The device queries subscription data, determines appropriate operator procedures, executes service acquisition, and confirms completion autonomously, reducing the need for complex external coordination systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A network search method for SA 5G service auto-provisioning is disclosed, including: user equipment sends a registration request to a network side device, where the registration request is used to request to register the user equipment with a 5G network, and a networking mode of the 5G network is standalone networking SA; the user equipment receives a registration reject response sent by the network side device when no available 5G subscription data corresponding to the user equipment is obtained through query, where the registration reject response is used to notify the user equipment that the registration with the 5G network fails; the user equipment receives a notification short message sent by the network side device after the network side device provisions a 5G service for the user equipment, where the notification short message is used to notify the user equipment that the 5G service is successfully provisioned; and the user equipment sends, in response to the notification short message, the registration request to the network side device again. In this way, user equipment for which a SA 5G service is not provisioned can also quickly register with a SA 5G network, and user experience is effectively improved.
