Samsung patents 5G/6G method to let carriers block specific data types

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Samsung has filed a patent for a way mobile carriers can control which types of data connections are allowed on their networks. The system sends information to phones about different 'access categories,' including custom ones defined by the carrier, to decide if a specific data session should be blocked.

Why it mattersThis could allow mobile providers to manage network traffic more precisely by prioritizing or blocking specific services, though it is a standard part of refining 5G and 6G network rules.

In the filing’s own words

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. An operating method of a UE in a mobile communication system, according to the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station via a system information block (SIB), information regarding an access category including an operator defined access category; and on the basis of the information regarding the access category; determining whether or not access is barred for each protocol data unit (PDU) session from among a plurality of PDU sessions including a PDU session corresponding to the operator defined access category.
