Configuration method for terminal devices in communication networks
The patent US12074758B2 outlines a method for configuring and attaching a terminal device to a communication network slice, which facilitates data routing between the terminal device and a service device based on specified routing criteria. The configuration process is managed by dedicated equipment that communicates with both the terminal device and the network's administration entity. Key steps include receiving and storing a configuration context that contains identifiers for various connection devices, including a proxy connection device that aggregates data from other devices. The configuration message sent to the terminal device includes identifiers for both the proxy connection device and the network slice, enabling effective data exchange.
Additionally, the patent describes an attachment method implemented within the terminal device, which involves receiving a configuration message from management equipment. This message contains identifiers for the proxy connection device and the network slice. The terminal device then configures a connection profile and transmits an attachment message to the network's attachment entity. The method also includes provisions for security data and validation messages to ensure secure and efficient communication. Overall, the patent presents a structured approach to managing network connections, enhancing the integration of terminal devices within communication networks.
