Presented herein are techniques to facilitate visited network selection by a user equipment (UE) based on slice considerations. In one example, a method may include requesting, by a UE that is roaming among a plurality of visited mobile networks, registration for a network connection associated with a slice type; obtaining, by the UE from home mobile network for the UE, a priority for each of the plurality of visited mobile networks and an indication of one or more slice types provided by each of the plurality of visited mobile networks; selecting, by the UE, a highest priority visited mobile network of the plurality of visited mobile networks that provides the slice type; and establishing, by the UE, the network connection with the highest priority visited mobile network of the plurality of visited mobile networks that provides the slice type.

Disclosed is a method, performed by an access and mobility management function, of providing a user equipment (UE) with update information regarding at least one UE parameter. The method includes receiving, from the UE, a registration request message, transmitting, to a unified data management (UDM), a UE context management registration message based on the registration request message, receiving, from the UDM, update information regarding the UE parameter, in response to the UE context management registration message, wherein the update information regarding the UE parameter includes information regarding preferred SNPN and information regarding a list of group identifiers for network selection (GINs), and transmitting, to the UE, the update information regarding the UE parameter including the information regarding preferred SNPN and the information regarding the list of GINs.

A mobile communication device for receiving an ad hoc temporary upgrade in quality of service (QoS). The mobile communication device comprises a processor, at least one cellular radio transceiver, a non-transitory memory, and an ad hoc service upgrade application. When executed by the processor, the application monitors wireless cellular communication on a network via the at least one cellular radio transceiver, detects a significant delay in the communication, generates a prompt on a GUI, the prompt comprising a plurality of options for an ad hoc temporary upgraded QoS, where each option is associated with a time period. The application further, based on a user input, requests a preferred roaming list (PRL) associated with the temporary upgraded QoS, receives the PRL, wherein the PRL is associated with providing the upgraded QoS on an allocated spectrum, activates the received PRL, and upon expiration of the time period, deactivates the received PRL.

In response to a first communication device determining that a specific wireless local area network (WLAN) communication link has been negotiated with a second communication device for traffic corresponding to a first traffic identifier (TID), the first communication device transmits packets corresponding to the first TID to the second communication device only via the specific WLAN communication link. In response to the first communication device determining that no WLAN communication link has been negotiated with the second communication device for traffic corresponding to a second TID, transmitting, by the first communication device, packets corresponding to the second TID to the second communication device via multiple WLAN communication links.

A network slice selection method includes, in response to an update in configuration information of a user of a media service, determining first information indicating updated configuration information of the user of the media service. The first information indicates an updated selection of a first network slice from at least two network slices. The method further includes transmitting, by the media service, the first information to an entity of a 5G Core network.

A cell selection method, a cell selection control method and a related device are provided. The cell selection method includes: obtaining cell assistance information of an access network; and performing a cell selection based on the cell assistance information and slice assistance information. The slice assistance information is used to assist in performing the cell selection.

A method comprising: obtaining, at a user equipment, information on a cell network slice support; determining, for the user equipment a network slice; and selecting one cell supporting the determined network slice based on the information.
