    Abstract: A method in a user equipment (UE) having a first subscriber identity module for connecting to a first mobile network according to a first subscription and a second subscriber identity module for connecting to the first mobile network or a second mobile network according to a first second includes determining, by processing hardware, a preference of how the first mobile network is to process downlink data for the UE when the UE transitions from the first subscription to the second subscription (1102); and transmitting, by the processing hardware and to the first mobile network, an indication of the preference, to cause the first mobile network to process the downlink data for the UE based at least in part on the preference (1104).

    Abstract: In a method in a base station configured to communicate with a user device located in a coverage area of a cell associated with the base station, a first random access message of a RACH procedure is received (320, 420A, 420B, or 520) from the user device. The method also includes determining (425A, 426B, or 526), by processing hardware of the base station, that the first random access message is associated with a first network slice, at least in part by determining that the user device transmitted the first random access message using a RACH configuration associated with the first network slice. The method also includes transmitting (330, 430A, 430B, 530) to the user device a second random access message of the RACH procedure. The second random access message includes information regarding network support for the first network slice.
