Abstract
According to some embodiments, a method for use in a core network node comprises: obtaining a mapping of core network (CN) slice identifiers to radio access network (RAN) slice identifiers; receiving a slice registration request from a user equipment (UE); determining a slice identifier associated with the slice registration request; and sending a slice registration response to the UE. The slice registration response includes the determined slice identifier. According to some embodiments, a method for use in a network node comprises obtaining a mapping of CN slice identifiers to RAN slice identifiers. The method may further comprise receiving a connection request from a UE that includes a network slice identifier; determining a RAN slice identifier based on the network slice identifier; and applying a policy of a network slice associated with the determined network slice identifier to the requested connection.
