  • Patent number: 12160767
    Abstract: Various arrangements for performing cellular network slice assignment are detailed herein. A cellular network can be used to provide cellular network service to user equipment (UE) using a first slice of the cellular network. The cellular network can receive from the UE a request to transition to a different slice of the cellular network that provides a quality of service (QoS) parameter that is greater than the QoS on an original slice. The cellular network can determine that the UE is eligible to be moved to the different slice based on a location of the UE. Based on receiving the request to transition and the location of the UE, the UE can be reassigned to the different slice of the cellular network.
