Abstract
The present application relates to devices and components, including apparatus, systems, and methods for slice prioritization implementation for frequency re-selection.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- processing first configuration information received via non-access stratum (NAS) signaling and second configuration information received via broadcast system information;
- generating a slice-priority network configuration based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information;
- determining a slice associated with a service or application is allowed based on the slice-priority network configuration;
- and
- modifying a first packet data unit (PDU) session that existed before the service or application was invoked or creating a second PDU session.
2 more elements
A baseband processor comprising:
- processing circuitry to:
- process first configuration information received via non-access stratum (NAS) signaling and second configuration information via broadcast system information;
- generate a slice-priority network configuration based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information;
- determine, based on the slice-priority network configuration, that a slice associated with a service or application is not allowed in a first tracking area (TA) associated with a current serving cell;
- determine, based on the slice-priority network configuration, that the slice is allowed in a second TA associated with a neighbor cell;
- and
- re-select the neighbor cell in the second TA;
- and
- interface circuitry coupled with the processing circuitry, the interface circuitry to communicatively couple the processing circuitry with a component.
6 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that are to be executed to cause a processing circuitry to:
- process first configuration information received via non-access stratum (NAS) signaling and second configuration information received via broadcast system information;
- generate a slice-priority network configuration based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information;
- and
- determine whether a slice associated with a service or application is allowed in a frequency band, wherein in response to determining that the slice is not allowed in the frequency band:
- determine whether a cell in a neighbor frequency band can be measured;
- and
- determine, based on said determining whether the cell in the neighbor frequency band can be measured, whether to:
- perform inter-frequency re-selection;
- map the service or application to a first packet data unit (PDU) session that existed before the service or application was invoked;
- or
- reject the service or application.
