Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. Network slicing may be used to provide services for a wireless device. A network slice may be used for a wireless device based on an application function that may be located in a home public land mobile network (PLMN) or in a visited PLMN.
Claims57
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device associated with a first network and from a second computing device associated with a second network, a first message indicating a request for a network slice for a wireless device, wherein the first message comprises a third party charging indication;
- and
- sending, by the first computing device to a third computing device associated with the first network, a second message indicating the request for the network slice for the wireless device, wherein the second message comprises:
- a network slice identifier for the network slice;
- and
- the third party charging indication.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a first computing device associated with a first network, a first message indicating a request for a network slice for a wireless device, wherein the first message comprises a third party charging indication;
- and
- sending, by the first computing device to a second computing device associated with a second network, a second message indicating the request for the network slice for the wireless device, wherein the second message comprises:
- the third party charging indication, and
- at least one policy for the network slice.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, configure a first computing device to:
- receive, from a second computing device, a first message indicating a request for a network slice for a wireless device, wherein the first computing device is associated with a first network and the second computing device is associated with a second network, and wherein the first message comprises a third party charging indication;
- and
- send, to a third computing device associated with the first network, a second message indicating the request for the network slice for the wireless device, wherein the second message comprises:
- a network slice identifier for the network slice;
- and
- the third party charging indication.
