Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is configured to request connection to a selected one of a plurality of available network slices of a network system. The UE implements a permission control framework that allows individual applications to request connection to the selected network slice, but establishes the connection only when the framework determines, based on any of a variety of permission criteria, that the application is permitted to access the requested network slice. The UE also supports user selection of the network slice via a graphical user interface that presents a selectable list of available network slices.
