Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to communication over a network comprising network slices. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, there provide a method performed by a network node. The method comprises: informing, in response to determination that user traffic of at least one user equipment needs to be redirected from a first network slice to a second network slice, a control plane function node supporting the first network slice of a redirecting user traffic request. Compared with the second network slice, a way of handling a control plane and/or user plane for communication services in the second network slice is different from that in the first network slice.
