An example method may include transmitting, to a base station, a registration request comprising first single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) associated with a first network slice and second S-NSSAI associated with a second network slice. The method may include receiving, from the base station, a registration accept message associated with the first network slice and the second network slice. The first network slice may be associated with a first priority higher than a second priority associated with the second network slice. The first network slice may be served by an MCG and the second network slice may be served by an SCG. The method may include initiating a first inactivity timer for the MCG and a second inactivity timer for the SCG.
