    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a network to notify user equipment device (UE) whether a network slice the UE has requested is subject to a quota. An AMF of the network may inform the UE if an allowed slice(s) is subject to quota management as part of a registration procedure via a registration accept and/or a UE configuration update command. In addition to providing information regarding whether an S-NSSAI is subject to quota management, the AMF may also share the percent of quota availability to the UE. The UE may implement access control logic based on the received available quota for a particular network slice.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for de-prioritizing an LTE anchor cell based on NR cell measurements. A UE may register on a first cell of a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), process a configuration message from a network prioritizing an anchor band of the first RAT, perform a first cell reselection from the first cell to a second cell of the first RAT that is in the anchor band, and perform cell measurements on one or more cells of a second RAT. In response to determining that none of the cell measurements for the one or more cells of the second RAT exceeds a threshold, the UE de-prioritizes the second cell in ranked cell prioritization data and performs a second cell reselection from the second cell of the first RAT to another cell of the first RAT based on the ranked cell prioritization data.

    Abstract: A device is configured to establish a first roaming network connection to a first roaming network and a second roaming network connection to a second roaming network. The first roaming network has a higher priority than the second roaming network, the second roaming network configured to support a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, the first RAT having a higher priority than the second RAT. When a current network connection is the second roaming network connection, determining a current RAT used for the second roaming network connection. When the current RAT is the first RAT, determining between an active use state and a non-active use state. When the device is in the active use state, deactivating a capability to reselect to the first roaming network.
