Network slices provide end-to-end logical networks to different industries\/users allowing customization, dedication, and isolation of network resources. A URSP rule can be characterized by a set of match criteria such as Data Network Name (DNN), application identifier, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), IP address\/prefix, and Connection Capabilities component types of a Traffic Descriptor as defined in references. The UE evaluates URSP rules to find a matching URSP rule when a network connection is requested. If a match is found, the UE then forwards the associated traffic via a network slice per the Route Selection Descriptor (RSD) in the matching URSP rule. This process is specified in 3GPP specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are some issues that need to be better addressed and relevant procedures standardized to ease the deployment of network slices using URSP. These issues include requirements for transferring application information corresponding to Traffic Descriptor components to the URSP rule matching logic within a UE, requirements on the security of URSP traffic descriptors, and the requirements on protecting data privacy and security pertaining to URSP traffic descriptors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This specification is meant to help the mobile industry to design, develop, and implement network slicing using URSP in 5G UE.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This specification defines the normative baseline for UE requirements to address the issues mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This specification contains normative and informative sections.
