1. A device for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
cause transmission, to one or more local area network clients, of a multicast message indicating an available network slice;
receive, from a first local area network client of the one or more local area network clients based on the multicast message, a request to access the available network slice;
cause, based on the request, establishment of a connection associated with the available network slice between the one or more local area network clients and a second network corresponding to the available network slice; and
cause transmission, to the first local area network client after establishment of the connection, a first confirmation to access the available network slice.
