On-demand ultra-reliable, low-latency communication (URLLC)

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a transceiver configured to:
• transmit, in a first component carrier supporting a first network slice of a network, a network registration request message requesting an ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC)-supported network slice of the network, wherein the first network slice comprises a first logical network implementing a first access network (AN) and a first core network (CN), wherein the URLLC-supported network slice comprises a second logical network implementing a second AN and a second CN, and wherein the first component carrier does not support URLLC services;
• receive, in response to the network registration request message requesting the URLLC-supported network slice, a network registration response message indicating the URLLC-supported network slice is allowed based on a second component carrier of the network providing the URLLC-supported network slice, wherein the second component carrier is different from the first component carrier;
• receive, based on the network registration response message, an instruction to perform at least one of:
• a handover to the second component carrier;
• a dual-connectivity procedure with the second component carrier;
• or
• a carrier aggregation procedure with the second component carrier;
• and
• transmit, in the second component carrier based on the instruction, URLLC data.

A method of wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving, by a core network entity from a user equipment (UE) associated with a first component carrier supporting a first network slice of a network, a network registration request message requesting an ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC)-supported network slice of the network, wherein the first network slice comprises a first logical network implementing a first access network (AN) and a first core network (CN), wherein the URLLC-supported network slice comprises a second logical network implementing a second AN and a second CN, and wherein the first component carrier does not support URLLC services;
• transmitting, by the core network entity to the UE in response to the network registration request message requesting the URLLC-supported network slice, a network registration response message indicating the URLLC-supported network slice is allowed based on a second component carrier of the network providing the URLLC-supported network slice, wherein the second component carrier is different from the first component carrier;
• and
• transmitting, based on the network registration response message, an instruction to perform at least one of:
• a handover to the second component carrier;
• a dual-connectivity procedure with the second component carrier;
• or
• a carrier aggregation procedure with the second component carrier;
• and
• receiving, by the core network entity in the second component carrier based on the instruction, URLLC data.
