NETWORK SLICE BASED CELL RESELECTION

原文（中国語）

Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to enhancements on network slicing. A first device generates preference information on service and slice prioritization for a slice-based cell reselection. The first device then transmits the preference information to a second device serving the first device with a slice. In this way, a communications service customer (CSC) defines an intent on the cell reselection priority at a slice level. The intent is provided to a communications service provider (CSP), and then pass to the domain orchestrator and network optimization functions for provisioning network elements associated with the slice-based cell reselection. As such, the cell reselection related to UEs belonging to different slices can be performed at a slice level or at a service level, and thus each of the UEs can latch on to a suitable frequency layer, which reduces unnecessary handovers.
