    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Methods and systems for handling network slice admission control for User Equipment (UE) are provided. The disclosure relates to network slicing and more particularly, to a system and method of ensuring that a communication system is able to accurately enforce quota on the maximum number of UEs concurrently registering for a network slice defined by a Single Network Slice Selection Assistance Information (S-NSSAI). The disclosure describes how the limits of “Number of Terminals” configured for an S-NSSAI may be accurately maintained in a Network Slice Admission Control Function (NSACF), and thus the enforcement may be performed when the limit is really exhausted. The disclosure also describes that a deregistration notification from a Unified Data Management (UDM) may act as a trigger for an old Mobility Management Function (AMF) to decrement counts in the NSACF as the old AMF is no longer serving the UE.

    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods and systems for updating a partially allowed network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI) list, and managing a congestion timer/back-off timer for an alternative single-NSSAI (S-NSSAI) in wireless communication networks. The methods include removing network slice support information stored in a user equipment (UE), if a Non-Access Stratum (NAS) message from a network indicates to delete the network slice support information. The methods include applying a back-off timer to the S-NSSAI to be replaced (S-NSSAI-1)/alternative S-NSSAI (S-NSSAI-A)/combination of S-NSSAI-A+S-NSSAI-1, on receiving a Packet Data Unit (PDU) session establishment request, when the network is congested. The methods include applying a back-off timer to the S-NSSAI-A/S-NSSAI-1/combination of S-NSSAI-A+S-NSSAI-1, on receiving a congestion timer from the network function while requesting an alternative S-NSSAI
