  • Publication number: 20230354171
    Abstract: A wireless terminal comprises receiver circuitry which receives a message comprising network slice band association information, and processor circuitry. The processor circuitry selects at least one network slice of a serving PLMN and, based on the message, makes a determination of whether the slice is: (1) supported on the first radio band; (2) supported on a second radio band but not supported on the first radio band, or; (3) not supported on any radio band(s). The processor circuitry initiates a cell reselection procedure to select a second cell on the second radio band, in a case that the slice is supported on the second radio band but not supported on the first radio band, and; initiates a PLMN selection procedure to select a PLMN different from the serving PLMN, in a case that the slice is not supported in any radio band(s).

  • Patent number: 11778543
    Abstract: Method and apparatus use a value tag in conjunction with transmission and/or processing of system information in a wireless communication network.
