Abstract
An NR network slicing architecture may be used to facilitate network slice discovery and selection. Mechanisms to discover and select network slices may differ depending on whether a user equipment is in an idle mode or a connected mode. Further, in various examples, the network slice discovery and selection may be performed by a UE, a radio access network (RAN), or a core network (CN), based on a variety of selection criteria.
