Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices that relate to different anonymity levels corresponding to different network slices are disclosed. In one example aspect, a wireless communication system includes at least one core network node and at least one access network node. The core network node and the access network node are configured to provide transport network connectivity to a mobile device for access to multiple network slice instances. The wireless communication system also includes a credential service node configured to authenticate the mobile device for the access to the multiple network slice instances and provide anonymity to the mobile device by generating a first pseudonymous identifier of the mobile device for a first network slice instance of the multiple network slice instances and a second pseudonymous identifier of the mobile device for a second network slice instance of the multiple network slice instances.
