1. A method implemented on a first network node, the method comprising:
receiving a session management (SM) message from a second network node, wherein the second network node is configured to implement a control plane (CP) Mobility Management (MM) function, wherein the first network node is configured to implement a CP SM function associated with a network slice, wherein the SM message indicates a request from a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), and wherein the request from the WTRU is associated with establishment of a protocol data unit (PDU) session corresponding to the network slice; and
sending an SM response message to the second network node, the SM response message being sent to the second network node for delivery to the WTRU, the SM response message indicating that the WTRU will be served by the network slice via the established PDU session.
