Abstract:
A network slice selection method and apparatus are disclosed. The method includes: receiving, by a first SSF device of a VPLMN, a first service request message; obtaining, by the first SSF device, roaming information of UE according to the first service request message; selecting, by the first SSF device, a first network slice instance in the VPLMN for the UE based on the roaming information of the UE.

Claim (Index 15):
The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein the apparatus further comprises:\n a transmitter, configured to send a network slice selection request to a second slice selection function (SSF) device of a home public land mobile network (HPLMN), wherein the network slice selection request is used to request the second SSF device of the HPLMN to select a second network slice instance in the HPLMN for the UE; and the receiver is further configured to receive a slice selection response message from the second SSF device, wherein the slice selection response message comprises information about the second network slice instance, and the information about the second network slice instance is used to instruct a first session management (SM) function in the first network slice instance to address a second SM function and interact with the second SM function to establish a session connection.
