Title:
SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR NETWORK SLICE RESELECTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/045644
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
There is provided method for managing network resources by switching the slice used to support a user equipment (UE), in a process referred to as slice handover or slice switching. There are several reasons why a slice handover may be implemented, include movement of the UE and network load balancing. Further the UE can be switched to a new slice operated by the same service provider (intra-operator handover) or a different service provider (inter-operator handover).
