Patent attributes
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for supporting network slicing. One apparatus includes a processor, a first transceiver that communicates with a remote unit, and a second transceiver that communicates with a mobile communication network supporting a plurality of network slices. The processor receives, via the first transceiver, a request to establish a network connection with the mobile communication network and identifies a network slice selection indicator associated with the request. The processor also selects a management function in a network slice that supports the network slice selection indicator and establishes, via the second transceiver, the requested connection by using the selected management function in the network slice.
