Unified Network Selection Across PLMN and Slicing Modes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current communication systems lack flexibility in network selection, as information for different network selection modes is independent, leading to suboptimal network choices that can reduce communication quality.
Innovation Solution
Integrate information from multiple network selection modes, including PLMN and network slicing, to enhance flexibility and prioritize network selection based on integrated information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If network selection is performed separately for each network selection mode using independent information, then the network selection process is simple and clear, but the network selection flexibility is insufficient and communication quality is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines information from multiple network selection modes (PLMN-based and network slicing-based) into a unified network selection framework. The terminal device integrates PLMN information, network slicing information, and priority information into a single decision-making process, allowing flexible network selection across different modes without requiring separate independent selection procedures for each mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal network selection mechanism that can handle both PLMN-based selection and network slicing-based selection through a common information structure. The network device provides integrated information that serves multiple selection modes simultaneously, enabling the terminal device to perform unified network selection that adapts to different scenarios and requirements.
2Reliability
If separate network selection is performed for different network selection modes, then information processing is straightforward, but optimal network selection is compromised and communication quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges information from multiple network selection modes into a unified framework, enabling the terminal device to make optimal network selection decisions by considering both PLMN information and network slicing information simultaneously. This integrated approach ensures higher communication quality by selecting the most suitable network based on combined criteria rather than separate independent selections.

AI summary
A wireless communication method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, first information transmitted by a first network device and used for selecting a network, where the first information is associated with a first public land mobile network (PLMN) and a second PLMN, and a network selection mode supported by the first PLMN is different from a network selection mode supported by the second PLMN.
