“METHOD AND USER EQUIPMENT (UE) FOR PROVISIONING UE PROCEDURES FOR NETWORK SLICING”

Abstract

ABSTRACT “METHOD AND USER EQUIPMENT (UE) FOR PROVISIONING UE PROCEDURES FOR NETWORK SLICING” Embodiments herein provide a method for provisioning UE procedures for network slicing by a UE (100). The method includes receiving network slice information of a plurality of network slices supported by a serving cell from a plurality of cells of the UE (100) and at least one neighbor cell from the plurality of cells. In an embodiment, the method includes reordering the plurality of cells based on the network slice information supported by the serving cell and the at least one neighbor cell, and measuring at least one cell of the plurality of reordered cells based on a priority order of the plurality of cells, and sending a measurement report corresponding to the at least one cell to the serving cell.

Specification

Description:FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] This application is a divisional application of Indian Provisional Application 202141001868 filed on 16th December, 2021 based on and derives the benefit of Indian Provisional Application 202141001868 filed on 15th January, 2021, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The present disclosure relates to a wireless network and in particular, relates to a method and a User Equipment (UE) for Radio Access Network (RAN) slicing in a 5th Generation (5G) network.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In general, with the introduction of a Radio Access Network (RAN) slicing and slice information in a system information block (SIB), there can be multiple issues with the existing User Equipment (UE) procedures and specification references. Mobility in a connected mode, payload size of the SIB when slice information is added, priority based reselection and cell selections are the aspects which needs to be addressed. The major concern of including slice information in the SIB is the payload siz , Claims:CLAIMS
We claim:
1. A method for a user equipment (UE) (100), the method comprising:
receiving, by the UE (100), from a base station (200), a priority information for network slicing based cell reselection including a network slice information list and frequency information associated with the network slice information list;
wherein each of network slice information in the network slice information list includes network slice group ID (identification) information and cell reselection priority information.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the priority information is received via at least one of a system information block (SIB) or a Radio resource control (RRC) release message.
3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein, in case that the priority information is received via the SIB, the each of network slice information further includes at least one of an allowed cell list or a blocked cell list for the network slicing.
4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein, in case that network slice infor
