An NSSF () includes: a selection unit selecting a slice corresponding to a service related to a request from a terminal () and a target processing server corresponding to the slice based on slice correspondence information including information where a slice, a processing server corresponding to the slice, and a service used by a terminal are associated with one another; and a notification unit notifying an AMF () of selection result including information regarding the slice and target processing server. The AMF includes: a determination processing unit determining whether the AMF is a target processing server based on information on the target processing server in the selection result information, and performing processing for a service when the AMF is the target processing server, or transferring a request for processing for a service to the target processing server when the AMF is not the target processing server.
