    Abstract: In a first aspect, this specification describes a method which comprises including, in a network slice selection request, information indicative of a reason for making the network slice selection request. The method of the first aspect may, for instance, be performed by a user equipment (UE). In a second aspect, this specification describes a method which comprises determining a response to a network slice selection request from a UE based on information included in the network slice selection request that is indicative of a reason for making the network slice selection request. The method of the second aspect may, for instance, be performed by a network control function (e.g. a CCNF).

    Abstract: A database stores self-operation cases for slice reselection requests received by a network function virtualization (NFV) system. The self-operation cases include reasons, contexts, remedial actions, and results of the remedial actions for the slice reselection requests. A set of detection rules identifies at least one issue causing the slice reselection requests based on reasons for the slice reselection requests and contexts of the slice reselection requests. The set of detection rules are applied to the self-operation cases to identify the at least one issue and a remedial action is selected to address the at least one issue. The remedial action is performed to reconfigure the NFV system and the processor determines whether the remedial action successfully resolved the at least one issue. Setting status flags for affected cells or slices prevents slice reselections to the affected cells or slices until the at least one issue is resolved.
