Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and methods for inhomogeneous slice support are provided. In some embodiments, a wireless device: signals an indication that it supports non-uniform slice availability and receives an information on how it may act based on the indicated slice support. In this way, some embodiments allow the Radio Access Network (RAN) and/or CN to correctly handle legacy and new UE types in a system where new UEs may be able to support non uniform slice availability. These may enable the CN to manage the legacy UEs in a way that their legacy behavior does not create unnecessary slice requests, e.g., for slices that are not available in a given cell. These systems and methods may allow new UEs to be configured with information for allowed slices that are not uniformly available, and that the UE may access upon detection of information expressing availability of such slices in a given cell/Tracking Area.
