Using a user equipment with first and second telecommunications networks having, or using, different network identifiers in relation to or in the framework of service enabler architecture layer for verticals

A system, comprising:

• a user equipment;
• and
• first and second telecommunications networks having, or using, different network identifiers in relation to or in the framework of service enabler architecture layer for verticals (SEAL);
• wherein the first and second telecommunications networks are configured to provide the possibility to use a first specific network slice of the first telecommunications network and a second specific network slice of the second telecommunications network, via a network slice capability enablement server (NSCE server), to a vertical application layer server (VAL server), that is a recognized user of network slice-related enablement capabilities regarding the first and second specific network slices;
• wherein the user equipment is a vertical application layer user equipment comprising a vertical application layer client (VAL client), and a network slice capability enablement client (NSCE client);
• wherein the user equipment has a native subscription to the first telecommunications network but lacks a native subscription to the second telecommunications network;
• wherein the VAL server is configured to transmit a message to the NSCE server, thereby requesting an application service continuity requirement request;
• and
• wherein the NSCE server is configured to interact with the first telecommunications network, the second telecommunications network, and the user equipment in view of realizing application service continuity to the user equipment.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable mediums having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for using a user equipment with first and second telecommunications networks having, or using, different network identifiers in relation to or in the framework of service enabler architecture layer for verticals (SEAL),

• wherein the first and second telecommunications networks provide the possibility to use a first specific network slice of the first telecommunications network and a second specific network slice of the second telecommunications network, via a network slice capability enablement server (NSCE) server, to a vertical application layer server (VAL server), and wherein the user equipment is a vertical application layer user equipment comprising a vertical application layer client (VAL client) and a network slice capability enablement client (NSCE client),
• wherein the user equipment has a native subscription to the first telecommunications network but lacks a native subscription to the second telecommunications network,
• wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate performance of the following steps:
• in a first step, the VAL server transmits a message to the NSCE server, thereby requesting an application service continuity requirement request;
• and
• in a second step, the NSCE server interacts with the first telecommunications network, the second telecommunications network, and the user equipment in view of realizing application service continuity to the user equipment.
