SA 5G Network Search for Auto-Provisioned Service Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
User equipment that is not provisioned with SA 5G service faces difficulties in quickly registering with a standalone 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 provisioning, sends another request after receiving a notification short message, enabling quick registration with the 5G network.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If user equipment sends a registration request to a SA 5G network without pre-provisioned service, then the network can perform automatic service provisioning, but the registration process becomes slower and requires additional steps
Solution Approach 1:
The network side device performs service provisioning in advance by sending a provisioning request to obtain 5G subscription data before the user equipment needs to register. This preliminary action ensures that when the registration request is received, the service is already provisioned, avoiding delays during the actual registration process
Solution Approach 2:
The network side device sends a notification message to the user equipment to inform it that the service has been successfully provisioned. This feedback mechanism allows the user equipment to know when it can proceed with registration, coordinating the timing between service provisioning and network registration
2Ease of manufacture
If different operators process registration requests from unprovisioned user equipment in different ways, then each operator can optimize for their specific network, but network compatibility and standardization are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal service provisioning mechanism that works across different operators and networks. The network side device uses standardized procedures to send provisioning requests, query subscription data, and send notification messages, ensuring that the same process can be applied universally regardless of which operator or network is involved

AI summary
A network search method for standalone (SA) fifth generation (5G) service auto-provisioning includes a user equipment sending a registration request to a network side device to request to register the user equipment with a 5G network. A networking mode of the 5G network is SA networking. The user equipment receives a registration reject response from the network side device when no available 5G subscription data of the user equipment is obtained through query, where the registration reject response notifies the user equipment that the registration with the 5G network fails. The user equipment receives a notification short message from the network side device after the network side device provisions a 5G service for the user equipment; and the user equipment sends the registration request to the network side device again in response to the notification short message.
