Appl. No.:

17/106498

Inventors:

- Basking Ridge NJ, US
Sudhakar Reddy Patil - Flower Mound TX, US
Kristen Sydney Young - Morris Plains NJ, US

International Classification:

H04W 48/06
H04W 28/12
H04W 48/00
H04W 48/10
H04W 28/02

Abstract:

A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which an application-based access control service is provided. The service assigns network slice priority values to network slices that are associated with an application or a portion of an application pertaining to end devices. The service calculates a network slice priority value to manage access barring based on a congestion level, and transmits the network slice priority value to end devices. End devices may determine whether access is permitted or not based on the network slice priority value and the assigned network slice priority values associated with the network slices. The service further provides access barring information to network devices of an access network that allows the network devices to reject connection requests and release existing connections. The access barring information may include a network slice priority value and/or network slice identifiers.
