Abstract

A network control node (Main CTRL or CTRL N) may receive a service request by a WTRU, wherein the service information comprises one or more of a service class, a quality of service (QoS) requirement, or a mobility characteristic. The network control node may determine slice information associated with a plurality of network slices and may select at least a first network slice to serve the WTRU. The network control node may determine whether the network control node or another network control node should service the WTRU for accessing the first network slice. When the network control node determines that the another network control node should service the WTRU for accessing the first network slice, the network control node may send a request to the another network control node that indicates that the another network control node should service the WTRU for accessing the first network slice.
