Examples relate to managing mutually exclusive access to network slices in a communications network. A unified data management (UDM) node implementing a UDM network function of the communications network receives, from a session management function (SMF) node, a session registration request for accessing a first network slice to which a user equipment (UE) seeks access. Responsive to receiving the session registration request, the UDM node determines whether the UE has an active session registration for a second network slice, The UDM further selectively rejects the session registration request for accessing the first network slice based on a policy in response to determining that the UE has the active session registration for the second network slice.

Managing mutually exclusive access to network slices

Examples herein relate to development of a master subscription at a home subscriber server (HSS). Examples disclose based on an activation from a gateway, the development of the master subscription at the HSS. The master subscription is exclusive to a group of Internet of Things (IoT) devices tethered to the gateway. Based on the master subscription developed at the HSS, a message, intended for a target IoT device among the group of IoT devices tether to the gateway, is transmitted to the gateway.

Systems and methods are provided for managing clustered subscriptions. A method for managing clustered subscriptions may include identifying radio frequency enabled devices, each having a radio frequency enabled device unique identifier, to add to a cluster; requesting a unique cluster identifier from a control plane within a telecommunications network; generating the unique cluster identifier; associating the unique cluster identifier with each of the radio frequency enabled device unique identifiers; storing, in the control plane, the unique cluster identifier in association with each of the radio frequency enabled device unique identifiers; requesting, via the control plane, a status from each radio frequency enabled device within a subset of the radio frequency enabled devices; and transmitting the status to an external user via a data plane within the telecommunications network.
