Abstract
A policy control function (PCF) receives from a session management function (SMF) a first message requesting policy establishment of a first packet data unit (PDU) session for a wireless device. The first message comprises a first single-network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) and a first network slice instance identifier (NSI ID) for the first S-NSSAI. The PCF also receives a second message comprising an identifier of a communication service provider (CSP ID). The PCF maps the first NSI ID to the CSP ID and further selects a charging function (CHF) for the first PDU session per CSP based on the mapping.
