Providing network slice admission control in a mobile network environment

Abstract

Presented herein are techniques to provide network slice admission control in a mobile network. In one example, a method may include obtaining, by an access management element of a mobile network, a registration request from a user equipment; determining, based on the registration request, for each of one or more network slices whether there is: available registration capacity for each network slice for the user equipment based on a registration quota configured for each network slice, available session capacity for each network slice based on a session quota configured for each network slice, and available bit rate capacity for each slice based on a maximum bit rate amount configured for each network slice; and providing, based on the determining, a registration indication to the user equipment for each network slice indicating whether the user equipment is or is not allowed registration for each of the network slices.
