Supporting slices on a cell level in a telecommunication network

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in communication with a telecommunication network is provided. The method includes transmitting an indication to the telecommunication network, the indication indicating an ability of the UE to support at least one slice on at least one of a per-cell level or a per-tracking area (TA) level. The UE and the telecommunication network support network slicing. Disclosed is a method of operating a User Equipment, UE, in communication with a telecommunication network, wherein the UE and the telecommunication network support network slicing, wherein the UE indicates to the telecommunication network its ability to support at least one slice on either a per-cell level or a per-Tracking Area, TA, level.
