Abstract

A wireless terminal transmits a registration request to a first network device indicating that the wireless terminal supports a use of a coexistent slice grouping technique. Here, the coexistent slice grouping technique groups network slices in groups in which intra-group network slices are capable of serving the wireless terminal simultaneously and inter-group network slices are disallowed from serving the wireless terminal simultaneously. The wireless terminal receives a message carrying information about one or more of an allowed network slice instance assistance information (NSSAI) and a configured NSSAI and performs further communication by the wireless terminal based on the information in the message.
