    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: Disclosed are methods and systems for prioritizing cell selection for availing LADN services. A UE prioritizes cells for selection based on availability of LADN services in the cells. For handover, a base station of a cell, providing LADN services to the UE, prioritizes target cells that provide LADN services that are being currently availed by the UE for ensuring LADN service continuity. The base station initiates addition of secondary cells that provide additional LADN services that are intended by the UE. The UE can predict if a paging message is relevant to a LADN service and send serving requests to the serving cell or other cells to avail the LADN service. The UE detects relay UEs providing LADN services and prioritizes the relay UEs for selection based on availability of LADN services. The UE buffers data if the UE is located at an edge of a LADN service area.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing AMF re-allocation is provided. The method for managing AMF reallocation during UE registration procedure with a 5G network comprises: determining if the first AMF may send a routing assistance information to the UE, on the first AMF determining that the first AMF is not a right AMF to serve the UE; sending a routing assistance information, to the UE, as response to a first registration request message; receiving routing assistance information from the first AMF; sending a second registration request message to a 5G RAN of the 5G network comprising a portion of content included in the routing assistance information; and routing the second registration request message to a second AMF of the 5G network, wherein the second AMF is determined by the 5G RAN based on the portion of content included in the routing assistance information.
