A base station sends, to a wireless device, a system information block (SIB) indicating that restricted local operator services (RLOS) are supported by a public land mobile network, and receives, from the wireless device and based on the SIB indicating support for the RLOS, a preamble. The base station sends a random access response to the preamble and receives at least one first radio resource control (RRC) message comprising a first information element indicating that an RRC connection of the wireless device is for the RLOS and a second information element comprising an attach request message indicating, to a mobility management entity (MME) configured with an RLOS access point name, that an attach request of the wireless device is for the RLOS. The base station sends to the wireless device a second RRC message comprising an attach accept message indicating acceptance of the RLOS by the MME.

The present technology is directed to generating a common Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attribute, for example, BGP-Slice Identifier (ID) for a specific network slice and stitching the network slice across one or more domains to realize end-to-end slicing. The present technology can generate BGP ID for a specific network slice spanning a plurality of domains and map domain-specific attributes associated with sub-slices of the specific network slice in different domains of the plurality of domains to the BGP ID. The present technology can further facilitate distribution of the mapping of the domain-specific attributes to the BGP ID across the plurality of domains for stitching the sub-slices together from the domain-specific attributes based on the BGP ID to stitch the specific network slice across the plurality of domains. Furthermore, the present technology can identify a configuration error in the mapping of the domain-specific attributes and the BGP ID and transmit a feedback informing the existence of the error for performing remedial measures.

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to facilitate interworking a plurality of cellular radio access networks and wireless local area networks (WLANs). In the context of a method, a set of information is maintained for a plurality of different cellular radio access networks that defines a relative priority of selection among the cellular radio access networks. The method also includes maintaining wireless access selection information defining a relative priority of selection among one or more WLANs relative to the cellular radio access networks. The method also permits the relative priority of the WLANs to be modified without modification of the set of information. For example, the relative priority the WLANs may be modified in a manner specific to the user equipment or specific to a cell. The method may also include causing notification to be provided to user equipment of the set of information and the wireless access selection information.
