Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for selecting a network slice. One apparatus includes a processor and a transceiver that communicates with a mobile communication network supporting a plurality of network slices. The processor detects an application of the apparatus that requests to send a data packet and selects a network slice selection indicator associated with the detected application of the apparatus. The processor controls the transceiver to transmit the data packet via a network connection to a network slice in the mobile communication network, the network connection being associated with the selected network slice selection indicator.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver that communicates with a mobile communication network supporting a plurality of network slices;
- and
- a processor that:
- detects an application of the apparatus that requests to send a data packet;
- selects a network slice selection indicator associated with the detected application of the apparatus;
- and
- transmits the data packet via a network connection to a network slice in the mobile communication network, wherein the network connection is associated with the selected network slice selection indicator.
A method comprising:
- detecting, at a remote unit, an application of the remote unit that requests to send a data packet;
- selecting a network slice selection indicator associated with the detected application of the remote unit;
- and
- transmitting the data packet via a network connection to a network slice in a mobile communication network, said mobile communication network supporting a plurality of network slices, wherein the network connection is associated with the selected network slice selection indicator.
