Abstract
There is provided an apparatus that has means for retrieving information associated with network slice selection, and means for selecting a network slice simultaneous registration group using the information associated with network slice selection. The apparatus also has means for providing, to a network entity, a requested network slice selection assistance information based on the selected network slice simultaneous registration group.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one memory storing instructions which when executed by the at least one processor cause the apparatus to perform at least:
- retrieving information associated with network slice selection;
- selecting a network slice simultaneous registration group using the information associated with network slice selection;
- and
- providing, to a network entity, a requested network slice selection assistance information based on the selected network slice simultaneous registration group,
- wherein the information associated with network slice selection comprises at least one of:
- a priority value for a network slice simultaneous registration group;
- a priority value for an application;
- a priority value associated with a traffic descriptor;
- or
- a priority value for single-network slice selection assistance information, and
- wherein the selecting comprises:
- determining an average priority value of the single-network slice selection assistance information in each network slice simultaneous registration group, that has been normalized using the number of single-network slice selection assistance information in each network slice simultaneous registration group;
- and
- selecting the network slice simultaneous registration group with the highest average priority value.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor,
- at least one memory storing instructions of a network function, wherein the instructions when executed by the at least one processor causes the apparatus to at least perform:
- providing, to a user equipment, information associated with network slice selection, for the selection of a network slice simultaneous registration group at the user equipment, wherein the information associated with network slice selection comprises at least one of:
- a priority value for a network slice simultaneous registration group;
- a priority value for an application;
- a priority value associated with a traffic descriptor;
- or
- a priority value for single-network slice selection assistance information;
- and
- receiving, from the user equipment, a requested network slice selection assistance information based on a first network slice simultaneous registration group selected by the user equipment based on a determination of an average priority value of the single-network slice selection assistance information in each network slice simultaneous registration group, that has been normalized using the number of single-network slice selection assistance information in each network slice simultaneous registration group and a determination of the network slice simultaneous registration group with the highest average priority value.

- a priority value for an application;
- a priority value associated with a traffic descriptor;
- or
- a priority value for single-network slice selection assistance information, and
- wherein the selecting comprises:
- determining an average priority value of the single-network slice selection assistance information in each network slice simultaneous registration group, that has been normalized using the number of single-network slice selection assistance information in each network slice simultaneous registration group;
- and
- selecting the network slice simultaneous registration group with the highest average priority value.
