Abstract
A network device, implementing a network function, receives a network slice request from a user equipment device (UE) that includes a requested network slice set in a network. The network device determines a first set of allowed network slices for the UE based on at least one of first network slices supported by a Radio Access Network (RAN), second network slices supported by the network function, third network slices to which the UE subscribes, or fourth network slices configured by a Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) in the network. The network device obtains historical behavior data associated with the UE, and determines a second set of allowed network slices for the UE based on the first set and the historical behavior data associated with the UE. The network device returns the second set of allowed network slices to the UE.
