Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a network slice client (NSC) service ID and user equipment (UE) routing policy for network slicing as a service. A network device or component such as an access node (AN) is operable to provide a request to obtain a network slice of a network slice as a service (NSaaS) to provide communication services for an end-user device on the network slice. In response to obtaining the network slice, a network slice client (NSC) service identity (ID) associated with the network slice may be determined and communication services may be provided for applications performed by the end-user device or user equipment (UE). The request may be processed at a network slice provider (NSP) component, where a network slice may be assigned to the NSC in response to the request of the NSC. The NSP also provides a user equipment (UE) routing policy (URSP) including a traffic descriptor to the NSC, the traffic descriptor including the NSC service ID.
