Title:
STORED MAPPING CONFIGURATION FOR NEIGHBORING CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/112906
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A wireless terminal which supports one or more network slices comprises receiver circuitry and processor circuitry. The receiver circuitry is configured to receive: (1) in a first registration area, a mapping configuration configuring one or more network slice groups for the first registration area; and (2) in a second registration area, neighboring cell information. The neighboring cell information comprises an identity of a neighboring cell; network slice support information indicating one or more network slices supported in the neighboring cell and including at least one network slice group index; and mapping configuration referencing information referencing information referring to a corresponding mapping configuration to be used for the network slice support information. The processor circuitry is configured to (a) store the mapping configuration received in the first registration area; (b) upon receipt of the neighboring cell information, retrieve and use the stored mapping configuration to map the at least one network slice group index to one or more corresponding network slice identifiers, in a case that the stored mapping configuration is referred by the mapping configuration referencing information and is preserved in the wireless terminal; and (c) perform a cell reselection procedure based on the neighboring cell information.
