A method for using a network function (NF) repository function (NRF) for mapping single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) includes, storing at an NRF in a first network, an S-NSSAI mapping database including mappings between S-NSSAI values of the first network and S-NSSAI values of other networks. The method further includes receiving, from a requesting NF in a second network, a request message including a requester S-NSSAI attribute including an S-NSSAI value of the second network. The method further includes performing a lookup in the S-NSSAI mapping database and locating a mapping between the S-NSSAI value of the second network and the S-NSSAI value of the first network. The method further includes generating a response message including the S-NSSAI value of the first network. The method further includes transmitting the response message to the requesting NF in the second network.
