Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing short message service (SMS) on a network slice basis are provided within a system that includes a wireless device and control plane entities. The wireless device sends a Registration Request message a control plane entity indicating that the Registration is for SMS and receives a Registration Response message comprising the allowed Single Network slice Selection Assistance information (S-NSSAI) that are to be used for the SMS. The control plane entity determines the allowed S-NSSAI for SMS and activates one or more SMS functions for the allowed S-NSSAI for SMS delivery, hence enabling a solution where SMS can be delivered over specific network slices instead of being network slice agnostic.
