ENSURING COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN NETWORK SLICE OPERATING FREQUENCIES AND USER EQUIPMENT (UE) RADIO CAPABILITIES

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for ensuring compatibility between network slice operating frequencies and user equipment (UE) radio capabilities. An example method generally includes receiving, from a network core entity, a request for information about capabilities of a user equipment (UE) and information about a plurality of network slices in an allowed set of network slices for the UE; identifying, based on UE capability information, a subset of the allowed set of network slices that the UE can use for communications between the UE and the network entity; generating a response including at least the subset of the allowed set of network slices that the UE can use for communications between the UE and the network entity; and transmitting the response to the network core entity.
