Abstract

A method for registering a UE in a visited network. The method includes the UE selecting a home network slice identity (h-NSI), wherein the h-NSI is associated with an index value. The method also includes the UE obtaining the index value with which the selected h-NSI is associated, and after obtaining the index value, the UE transmitting a registration message towards a control node, the registration message comprising a requested NSI (r-NSI) (e.g., an S-NSSAI) and the obtained index value. The method further includes the UE receiving a registration response message comprising an allowed NSI (a-NSI) and an index value associated with the a-NSI.
