    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for managing mode of access to a compatible set of network slices of a communications network. In this regard, a registration request message is received from user equipment. The registration request message includes an indication of at least one simultaneous network slice use mode of operation for the user equipment. Furthermore, a selected simultaneous network slice use mode of operation for the user equipment is determined. The selected simultaneous network slice use mode of operation is a simultaneous network slice use mode of operation indicated by the user equipment or an alternate mode of operation associated with a configured network slice selection assistance information (NSSAI). Configuration information is also provided to the user equipment. The configuration information includes instructions for the user equipment to be configured with the selected simultaneous network slice use mode of operation, the configured NSSAI, and an allowed NSSAI.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for managing configuration updates. In some example embodiment, there may be provided an apparatus including at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least: receive an indication regarding whether a home network of said apparatus makes a change to first configuration information stored at said home network and associated with the apparatus; and delete, in an instance in which the received indication represents the change, second configuration information stored at said apparatus, said second configuration information comprising information regarding one or more configurations associated with a visited network currently serving said apparatus and information regarding one or more configurations associated with one or more other visited networks.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for UE capability signaling. An apparatus is provided that is caused to at least: receive, from a user equipment capability management function, a message including a first restart counter value indicating a restart of the user equipment capability management function; inhibit, in response to receiving the first restart counter value, one or more old user equipment capability identifiers associated with a second restart counter value, the second restart counter value being associated to a pre-restart state of the user equipment capability management function; and send the first restart counter value indicating the restart of the user equipment capability management function. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for efficient registration for partially supported service areas are provided. One method may include providing, to at least one user equipment registered to a network within a registration area, information comprising one or more lists of single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs) and one or more lists of tracking area identities (TAIs). The one or more single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs) is included in a list of rejected single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs) or in a list of extended rejected single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs), and is associated with a cause value indicating that the one or more single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs) is not supported uniformly in the registration area and is not supported in a current tracking area.
