Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes techniques for a user equipment (UE) to select a network connection based on slice considerations while roaming among multiple visited mobile networks.
- The UE requests registration for a network connection associated with a specific slice type.
- The UE obtains information from its home mobile network, including the priority for each visited mobile network and the slice types provided by each visited mobile network.

Original Abstract Submitted
Presented herein are techniques to facilitate visited network selection by a user equipment (UE) based on slice considerations. In one example, a method may include requesting, by a UE that is roaming among a plurality of visited mobile networks, registration for a network connection associated with a slice type; obtaining, by the UE from home mobile network for the UE, a priority for each of the plurality of visited mobile networks and an indication of one or more slice types provided by each of the plurality of visited mobile networks; selecting, by the UE, a highest priority visited mobile network of the plurality of visited mobile networks that provides the slice type; and establishing, by the UE, the network connection with the highest priority visited mobile network of the plurality of visited mobile networks that provides the slice type.
