Abstract

L'invention concerne un moyen de communication pour réaliser une fonction liée à la gestion d'informations afin de fournir à un UE un service de découpage de réseau en tranches correspondant à une zone, dans un réseau 5GS. L'invention concerne un moyen de communication et un procédé d'enregistrement initial ainsi que des procédures de mise à jour d'enregistrement périodique basées sur les déplacements, qui mettent en oeuvre une gestion d'informations relatives à un UE et à une zone de service pour chaque tranche de réseau, dans un réseau 5GS. L'invention concerne en outre un moyen de communication et un procédé associé à : des procédures d'authentification/d'approbation spécifiques de tranche de réseau après l'achèvement de procédures d'enregistrement; des procédures de mise à jour de réglages d'UE; et des procédures de non-enregistrement.
