Abstract

A method is performed in a network control entity that manages network connections for a network. The method includes receiving a network attachment request from a network access entity or a user equipment for connecting the user equipment to the network. The method further includes obtaining a network partition ID associated with the UE, the network partition ID identifying a network partition that includes a predetermined group of network entities included in the network. The method also includes transmitting, to a network storage entity, a notification containing the network partition ID.
