Abstract
The disclosure inter alia relates to a user device for slice management, comprising at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: obtain a slice group mapping (SGM) configuration, wherein the SGM configuration indicates a mapping between a slice group and a tracking area (TA); and perform cell reselection and/or random access operation, at least partially based on the obtained SGM configuration.

1-18. (canceled)
A user device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code;
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
- obtain a slice group mapping, SGM, configuration, wherein the SGM configuration indicates a mapping between a slice group and tracking area, TA;
- and
- perform at least one of cell reselection or random access operation, at least partially based on the obtained slice group mapping configuration.
A first network node, comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the first network node at least to:
- obtain a slice group mapping, SGM, configuration, wherein the SGM configuration indicates a mapping between a slice group and tracking area, TA;
- provide the SGM configuration to a user device.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, by a user device, a slice group mapping, SGM, configuration, wherein the SGM configuration indicates a mapping between a slice group and tracking area, TA;
- performing at least one of cell reselection or random access operation, at least partially based on the received slice group mapping configuration.
