Abstract

A network entity is configured to control a handover of a user equipment from a serving base station to a candidate target base station of a mobile communication network. The serving base station provides at least a first slice of a first slice type, and the candidate target base station provides at least a second slice of a second slice type. The user equipment is registered to the first slice of the serving base station. The network entity includes a processor configured to control, in response to a handover trigger, the handover of the user equipment on the basis of a requested slice type and the second slice type provided by the candidate target base station.
