Abstract
A wireless User Equipment (UE) executes a user application and wirelessly exchanges signaling with a wireless communication network over a source frequency band. The UE selects a wireless network slice responsive to the signaling. The UE selects a target frequency band and a handover type based on a characteristic of the wireless network slice. The UE requests the target frequency band and the handover type by wirelessly exchanging signaling with the wireless communication network over the source frequency band. The UE wirelessly exchanges data for the user application with the wireless communication network over the target frequency band. The wireless network slice handles the data to deliver the wireless data service to the wireless UE for the user application. The UE and the wireless communication network use the handover type to handover the wireless UE during the delivery of the wireless data service.
