Abstract
A method comprising: obtaining, at a user equipment, information on a cell network slice support; determining, for the user equipment a network slice; and selecting one cell supporting the determined network slice based on the information.
Claims4
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, at a user equipment, information on cell network slice support;
- determining, for the user equipment, a network slice;
- and
- selecting one cell supporting the determined network slice based on the information;
- wherein the obtaining, at the user equipment, information on cell network slice support comprises receiving a network slice group mapping from a core node,
- wherein the obtaining, at the user equipment, information on cell network slice support comprises receiving, from the core node, a list of frequency bands supported by at least one group from the network slice group mapping.
