Abstract
Proposed herein is a mobile network system that introduces a subscription-driven service intent mechanism that enables deterministic, scalable, and access-agnostic selection of network slices, service domains, and network functions in 5G–6G converged deployments. A single, normalized Service Intent Indicator, provisioned as part of a user equipment (UE) subscription, represents the intended service characteristics associated with the subscriber and remains independent of the access technology, registration path, or network generation. By decoupling service intent from access signaling and consolidating multiple selection decisions under a unified, subscription-driven abstraction, the proposed system simplifies network configuration, reduces operational risk, and ensures consistent service realization across access technologies and core generations. The approach is inherently future-proof, enabling rapid introduction of new services, slices, and service domains through configuration and policy updates rather than access-level or UE-specific changes. The proposed solution provides significant benefits for operators deploying and evolving 5G–6G converged networks, including improved service consistency, optimized resource utilization, reduced operational complexity, and a scalable foundation for long-term network evolution and service innovation.
