Claim 13:
14. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network access point, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a service request associated with a service;
determining a combination of a network slice associated with the network access point and a bandwidth part associated with the network slice;
sending, to the UE, a message instructing the UE to use the network slice and the bandwidth part for network traffic associated with the service;
receiving, from the UE, a second service request associated with a second service;
determining a second combination of a second network slice associated with the network access point and a second bandwidth part associated with the second network slice; and
sending, to the UE, a second message instructing the UE to use the second network slice and the second bandwidth part for second network traffic associated with the second service,
wherein:
the message and the second message cause the UE to simultaneously use the bandwidth part and the second bandwidth part; and one or more of:
the network slice and the second network slice are different network slices, and the bandwidth part and the second bandwidth part are different bandwidth parts, or the network slice and the second network slice are a same network slice, and the bandwidth part and the second bandwidth part are the different bandwidth parts.
