    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to transmit a registration request to a first base station of a cellular wireless network, wherein the first base station operates on a first frequency band, the registration request including a first indication of one or more preferred network slices and receive a registration response from the first base station, the registration response including (i) a second indication of whether the one or more preferred network slices are accessible on the first frequency band and (ii) a third indication of where the UE can access any unsupported one or ones of the one or more preferred network slices.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first authentication request in response to a first triggering request from the UE to a mobility management node of a first Tracking Area (TA) in which the UE is located. In some embodiments, the UE may prepare and store an authentication response according to the first authentication request. In response to determining that the UE has moved from the first TA to a second TA, the UE may abort a sending of the authentication response, and may send the stored authentication response according to the first authentication request to the mobility management node of the second TA in response to the receipt of the second authentication request and in further response to a determination that a given parameter of each of the first and second authentication requests are the same.

    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein facilitate configuration of network slices for a User Equipment (UE) supporting constraints on simultaneous operation of slices. One example embodiment is a UE device configured to: transmit a registration request message to request registration on a set of requested network slices; and receive a registration accept message indicating the UE is registered to a set of allowed network slices, and wherein the registration accept message indicates slice compatibility information for each allowed network slice of the set of allowed network slices for the UE, wherein the slice compatibility information for each allowed network slice indicates whether or not other configured network slices of the set of configured network slices are compatible with the configured network slice for simultaneous operation by the UE.
