Secure remote access to a 5G private network through a private network slice

摘要

In one illustrative example, a network node may receive, from a user equipment (UE), a message indicating a token authorization request for access to a custom, enterprise private network slice of a 5G network. The message may include a token provided to the UE by an enterprise server of an enterprise private network of the enterprise. The network node may perform a token validation procedure and, based on a successful token validation, send a message for causing a provisioning of one or more rules in a forwarding entity of the 5G network, for causing enterprise user plane (UP) traffic of the UE to be forwarded to an anchor UPF of the private network slice. The enterprise UP traffic communication may be used for the remote control and/or monitoring of elements in a private 5G network of the enterprise.
