Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for access network selection using a selection policy rule with network slice selection assistance information. One apparatus includes a processor and a transceiver that communicates with a mobile communication network via at least one access network. The processor receives at least one WLANSP rule, the at least one WLANSP rule containing a S-NSSAI list and a selection criteria set containing at least one SSID in a preferred SSID list. The processor detects a request to establish a data connection with a first network slice in the mobile communication network over a WLAN access network. The processor selects a first WLAN access network identified by a first SSID based on the at least one WLANSP rule and establishes a data connection with the first network slice in the mobile communication network over the first WLAN access network.
