Abstract:
In a slice management device 10, a storage request accepting unit 11 acquires correspondence information in which a service, a slice, and tracking areas are associated with each other. A presence-in-area identifying unit 13 identifies a presence-in-area status of a UE 130. An assignment unit 14 assigns a slice corresponding to a service used by the UE 130 and tracking areas represented by the correspondence information. In this case, the slice management device 10 assigns a slice to a service in accordance with the presence-in-area status of the UE 130, and accordingly, a slice assigned to the service can be dynamically changed.
