Abstract
For monitoring a slice attribute, apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed. One apparatus includes a processor-1005 that determines to collect data for a slice attribute of a network slice. Here, the slice attribute is a number of UEs using the network slice and/or a number of data sessions using the network slice. The processor requests a first collecting network function to report first usage data (e.g., roaming UE usage) for the network slice according to the slice attribute and requests a second collecting network function to report second usage data (e.g., non-roaming usage) for the network slice according to the slice attribute. The processor determines whether a quota associated with the slice attribute is reached. The apparatus includes a transceiver that sends a notification to a network function in response to the quota being met.
