Abstract
A session management function (SMF) receives, from a wireless device, a first message requesting establishment of a PDU session for a network slice associated with a service of a communication service provider (CSP). The first message comprises a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) of the network slice and a CSP identifier (ID). The SMF sends, to the wireless device, a second message accepting the establishment of the PDU session for the network slice associated with the service of the CSP.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a session management function (SMF) from a wireless device, a first message requesting establishment of a packet data unit (PDU) session for a network slice associated with a service of a communication service provider (CSP), wherein the first message comprises:
- a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) of the network slice;
- and
- a CSP identifier (ID);
- and
- sending, from the SMF to the wireless device, a second message accepting the establishment of the PDU session for the network slice associated with the service of the CSP.
A session management function (SMF) comprising:
- one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the SMF to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a wireless device, a first message requesting establishment of a packet data unit (PDU) session for a network slice associated with a service of a communication service provider (CSP), wherein the first message comprises:
- a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) of the network slice;
- and
- a CSP identifier (ID);
- and
- sending, to the wireless device, a second message accepting the establishment of the PDU session for the network slice associated with the service of the CSP.
A system comprising:
- a session management function (SMF) comprising one or more first processors amd and memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors, cause the SMF to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a wireless device, a first message requesting establishment of a packet data unit (PDU) session for a network slice associated with a service of a communication service provider (CSP), wherein the first message comprises:
- a single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) of the network slice;
- and
- a CSP identifier (ID);
- and
- sending, to the wireless device, a second message accepting the establishment of the PDU session for the network slice associated with the service of the CSP;
- and
- the wireless device, wherein the wireless device comprises one or more second processors and memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors, cause the wireless device to perform operations comprising:
- sending, to the SMF, the first message requesting establishment of the PDU session;
- and
- receiving, from the SMF, the second message accepting the establishment of the PDU session.
