    Abstract: Segmenting personal area networks (PAN) in a computer network using regions, which may include: associating a first client device to a first PAN, where the first PAN is assigned to a first region from a plurality of regions; receiving an indication that the first client device is in communication with a first computer networking device; identifying whether the first computer networking device is a member of a plurality of computer networking devices that service the first region; selecting one of a first identifier or a second identifier based on whether the first computer networking device is or is not a member of the plurality of computer networking devices; and communicating the selected one of the first identifier and the second identifier to the first computer networking device. The first computer networking device may be configured to tag PAN network traffic from the first client device using the provided identifier.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) operating in an “Onboarding Mode” may search for a network broadcasting Onboarding Capability Information (OCI), then register using onboarding credentials and receive SNPN credentials from the network. The UE may then exit onboarding mode, enter Manual Network Selection or Automatic Network Selection mode, and connect to the SNPN. A UE may also receive from a network a list of PLMNs and SNPNs that are equivalent then, when registering, indicate to the network that a requested slice is not associated with the UE's HPLMN, but is associated with an SNPN. The network may indicate to the UE how the slices of the network map to the slices of the SNPN, and may indicate whether a slice that is offered by the network only partially maps to a slice of the SNPN or HPLMN.
