Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods provide technology that determines that a primary slice of a plurality of slices of a communication network is overloaded. The plurality of slices includes a backup slice. The technology assigns user equipment to operate with the backup slice in response to the primary slice being overloaded. The technology identifies that a trigger has occurred, wherein the trigger is associated with one or more of the user equipment, the backup slice or the primary slice, and re-assigns the user equipment to the primary slice from the backup slice so that the user equipment operates with the primary slice.
