Question: In a 5G network, when utilizing Network Slice Admission Control (NSAC), what happens to the counting of UEs/PDU Sessions used for emergency, mission critical, and/or priority services if exempted by the NF Service Consumer in accordance with operator policy?
Option 1: These UEs/PDU Sessions are always counted towards the slice's maximum capacity, regardless of exemption.
Option 2: The NSACF is notified but ignores these exemptions for reporting purposes.
Option 3: The NF Service Consumer must always invoke the NSAC procedure for these UEs/PDU Sessions to ensure accurate counting.
Option 4: These exempted UEs/PDU Sessions are not counted towards the maximum number of UEs/PDU Sessions in NSACF reports.
Explanation: If a UE/PDU session is exempt from Network Slice Admission Control for emergency, mission critical, and/or priority services, these exempted UEs/PDU Sessions would not be included in the NSACF reported counts, effectively not counting them towards the maximum capacity of the network slice, ensuring critical services are not limited by NSAC.
