ARCHITECTURE ENHANCEMENTS FOR NETWORK SLICING

A user equipment (UE) may detect that two or more of the slices that were requested by the UE cannot be served by the same access and mobility management function (AMF). Once the UE is able to determine that the multiple requested slices cannot be served by the same AMF, the UE may account for this incompatibility. For example, the UE may decide to only request compatible slices, or the UE may execute procedures with the network that allow the UE to simultaneously communicate with multiple AMFs. By allowing the UE to communicate with multiple AMFs, the UE may be able to utilize separate AMFs to register to slices that cannot be served by the same AMF. The system may allow for the UE to be paged by multiple AMFs.
