A user equipment (UE) may initiate an application on a user equipment (UE) which utilizes a network slice via a packet data network (PDN) connection with a first cellular network. The first cellular network may support network slicing and voice over new radio (VONR) and one or more cells of the first cellular network may support evolved packet system (EPS) fallback procedures. The UE may receive or initiate a voice call with another UE and adjust one or more capabilities of the UE such that an EPS fallback procedure is deemphasized. The UE may receive signaling from the first cellular network to establish, based at least in part on the one or more adjusted capabilities of the UE, the voice call as a VoNR call via the first cellular network and the network slice may be maintained during the VoNR call.

Enhanced voice call establishment with network slicing applications

This disclosure relates to techniques for performing application context aware cell selection in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may determine a current location of the wireless device. The wireless device may determine cells associated with the current location of the wireless device. Application context based metric information may be determined for the cells associated with the current location of the wireless device. The wireless device may determine a cell with which to associate from the cells associated with the current location of the wireless device based at least in part on the application context based metric information.
