A device can receive, from first user equipment, information that relates to a first application, where the information includes a plurality of S-NSSAI. The device can determine whether the plurality of S-NSSAI are configured as a group of associated S-NSSAI. The device can determine that a preference is to be given to one of: communication sessions associated with the first application relative to a communication session associated with a second application, that does not utilize multiple network slices, of the first user equipment or second user equipment; traffic flows associated with the first application relative to a traffic flow associated with the second application; or a plurality of network slices associated with the first application relative to a network slice associated with the second application. The device can perform one or more actions based on determining the preference to thereby facilitate a particular functionality of the first application.

Embodiments of the disclosed techniques include methods for remote interference management (RIM) implemented in a network device in charge of management in a wireless network. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving messages from a set of base stations, wherein each message from abase station of the set of base stations indicates that the base station is interfered. The method further includes grouping the set of base stations into a set of reference signal groups based on the messages, each reference signal group being mapped to a reference signal group identifier; and the method continues with sending a respectively mapped reference signal group identifier to each of the set of base stations. Embodiments of the invention also include methods to group base stations causing the interference.

A method performed by a network node for handling load balancing of at least one User Equipment (UE) is provided. The at least one UE has performed a respective handover to a Second Frequency, F2, carrier provided by the network node in a communication within a wireless communication network. The network node evaluates (201) whether or not each of the at least one UE has resided at the F2 carrier for a respective time period which is below a first threshold value. The network node decides (202) that one or more first UEs out of the at least one UE shall be put through a further evaluation for load balancing when any one or more of the first UEs have resided at the F2 carrier for a respective time period which is below the first threshold value. The network node decides (203) that each one or more second UEs out of the at least one UE is a candidate for load balancing when any one or more of the second UEs have resided at the F2 carrier for a respective time period which is not below the first threshold value.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to cell recovery techniques. One example method generally includes receiving, at a user-equipment (UE), at least one pilot signal via a secondary cell, receive, via a primary cell, a first message triggering reporting of at least one preferred beam for communication via the secondary cell, determining the preferred beam based on the at least one pilot signal, transmitting, via the primary cell, a report indicating the at least one preferred beam, and communicating data via the secondary cell and via the preferred beam.
