Abstract  Abstract

For monitoring a slice attribute, apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed. One apparatus (1000) includes a processor (1005) that determines (1105) to collect data for a slice attribute of a network slice. Here, the slice attribute is a number of UEs using the network slice and/or a number of data sessions using the network slice. The processor (1005) requests (1110) a first collecting network function to report first usage data (e.g., roaming UE usage) for the network slice according to the slice attribute and requests (1115) a second collecting network function to report second usage data (e.g., non-roaming usage) for the network slice according to the slice attribute. The processor (1005) determines (1120) whether a quota associated with the slice attribute is reached. The apparatus (1000) includes a transceiver (1025) that sends (1125) a notification to a network function in response to the quota being met.
