Abstract: A method for configuring a user device to which a plurality of identifiers, each uniquely identifying the user in at least one communications network, is allocated. The method includes, for at least one application: obtaining at least one rule associating, with at least one flow of the application, at least one slice of the at least one communications network for routing data relating to the at least one flow and an item of information connecting the slice to an identifier from among the plurality of identifiers of the user; and configuring the user device with the at least one rule such that it executes the at least one rule when accessing the application.

Abstract: A method for controlling application access to network slicing service at a User Equipment (UE). The method includes: issuing an activation request for establishing network connectivity service for an application executing at the UE, the activation request including an application identifier of the application; determining a network slice for the application based on the activation request; performing a verification of the determined network slice, in accordance with network slicing operator policies; and upon successful verification of the determined network slice, creating a binding between the application identifier and the determined network slice.
