Abstract
A wireless terminal communicates with a management entity of a core network to receive network slice band association information, NSBAI, including an area scope indication. Receiver circuitry of the wireless terminal is configured to receive, from a first cell of the RAN, a message comprising network slice band association information including the area scope indication. The processor circuitry is configured to select from the network slice band association information at least one network slice identifier of a serving PLMN; to store the network slice band association information; and, upon the wireless terminal camping on a second cell of the RAN, to initiate a reacquisition procedure to reacquire, from the second cell, the network slice band association information based on an area scope indication corresponding to a selected at least one network slice identifier, comprised in the stored network slice band association information.
