Abstract
Various example embodiments relate to methods and apparatuses for network slice security for non-3GPP access. An apparatus may be configured to send to an access network device, a request message comprising network slice group information corresponding to network slice identification information of the terminal device; and receive from the access network device, an identification of a non-3GPP access network device capable of serving at least one network slice indicated in the network slice identification information in response to the request message.
Claims13
A terminal device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the terminal device at least to:
- send to an access network device, a request message comprising network slice group information corresponding to network slice identification information of the terminal device;
- and
- receive from the access network device, an identification of a non-3GPP access network device capable of serving at least one network slice indicated in the network slice identification information in response to the request message.
An access network device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the access network device at least to:
- receive from a terminal device, a request message comprising network slice group information corresponding to network slice identification information of the terminal device;
- and
- send to the terminal device, an identification of a non-3GPP access network device capable of serving at least one network slice indicated in the network slice identification information in response to the request message.
A core network device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the core network device at least to:
- determine network slice group information corresponding to network slice identification information of a terminal device;
- and
- send configuration information indicative of a mapping between network slice group information and network slice identification information to an access network device in a non-3GPP access network configured to provide access for the terminal device.
