supports the set ofrcqucsted Network Slices. The Requested NSSAJ is provided to the AMF within the NJ\.S: Regis/ration
Requesl message. The AMF can forward the Requested NSSAI to the Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF) which can verify
that the UE is subscribed to the requested Network Slices and can determine the set of allowed Network Slices
* The UE generates the Requested NSSAI from the Allowed NSSJ\I if the UE has already been provided with an Allowed NSSAT for the
current serving PLMN. Otherwise, the UE generates the Requested NSSAI from the Confi gured NSSAJ. The UE can also generate the
Requested NSSAI using the Allowed NSSAI in combination with one or more S-NSSAI from the Configured NSSAJ
* The UE can request a specific Network Slice (S-NSSAI) when establishing a new POU Session. Figure 67 in Section 1.13 illustrates
the lJE specifying a single S-NSS/\1 within the N/\S: UL NAS Transport message when forwarding a NAS: POU Session
Establishment Request to the AMF (for subsequent forwarding to an SMF). The S-NSSJ\I corresponds to the Network Slice which the
UE would like to have allocated to the requested POU Session. The AMF is able to use the requested S-NSSAI to help select an
appropriate SMF. The Network Slice allocated to a POU Session is specified within the NAS: POU Session Establishment Accepl
message
* Figu re 68 summarises the signalling procedures which involve Network Slices during interface and Network Function setup, UE
registration and POU Session establishment (message names are not shown for the interface and Network Function setup phase to help
simplify the figure)

Figure 68- Signalling procedures involving Network Slices
* Figure 69 illustrates the use of network slice' A' within a visited PLMN, combined with the use of network slice '2' within the Home
PLMN. This figure corresponds to a 'Home Routed' roaming architecture rather than a 'Local Breakout' roaming architecture. The
'Local Breakout' roaming architecture provides connectivity to the Data Network directly fi-om the visited PLMN
