Zusammenfassung:A method of communicating over a plurality of network slices concurrently. The method comprises building a distributed ledger by a network slice registrar function (NSRF) application executing on a computer, where the distributed ledger records an association between a first network slice allocated to a user equipment (UE) and a second network slice allocated to the UE, providing information about the association of the UE to the first network slice and the second network slice by the NSRF application to a network slice selector function (NSSF), establishing a first communication link between the UE and a first call end point via the first network slice by a first user plane function (UPF) and establishing a second communication link between the UE and a second call end point via the second network slice by a second UPF based on the information provided by the NSRF application to the NSSF.
