Abstract:
A method to enable network slice aware access control in a wireless communication system. In some embodiments, the method includes adding network slice configuration information (NSCI) to the system information (SI) (e.g., System Information Block (SIB)) that is broadcast over the air interface (e.g. the LTE/NX air interface).

Claim (Index 42):
A node element (NE) for providing network slice information, the NE comprising:\n processing circuitry; memory containing instructions executable by the processing circuitry whereby the NE is operative to:\n receive, from a network management node, configuration information concerning at least one of:\n i) a set of two or more network slices supported by the NE; and \n ii) a set of two or more network slice groups supported by the NE; and \n \n after receiving the configuration information, transmit network slice configuration information (NSCI), the NSCI comprising at least one of:\n i) for each supported network slice, information for identifying the network slice and information identifying a barring status of the network slice; \n ii) for each supported network slice group, information for identifying the network slice group and information identifying a barring status for the network slice group; and \n iii) for each supported network slice group that is barred, information for identifying the barred network slice group.
