Patent number: 11902260Abstract: A network node selectively encrypts messages between a user plane node and a control plane node in a network system. The user plane node and the control plane node negotiate a connection and indicate an encryption level for the connection. The encryption level is selected from an Information Element (IE) level, a message level, or a feature level. The user plane node and the control plane node selectively encrypt at least a portion of the messages between the user plane node and the control plane node based on the encryption level for the connection.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Pravin Appaji Ajagekar, Ravi Shekhar, Nithin Chitta

Patent number: 10951478Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide a method for grouping user planes in 4G/5G packet cores to simplify user plane discovery and registration. In some embodiments the method includes detecting a plurality of User Planes (UPs), grouping a first subset of the UPs into a first UP group, in which each UP in the first UP group is associated with a first set of features, and allocating the first UP group to a first network service based on the first set of features associated with the first UP group and a first set of requirements of the first network service. The method further includes grouping a second subset of the plurality of UPs into a second UP group, in which each of the second UP group is associated with a second set of features and allocating the second UP group to a second network service of a plurality of network services.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Amit Ghadge, Nithin Chitta, Sanjeev Panem Jaya, Anand Arun Alshi
