1. A method for connecting a user equipment (UE) to a data network name (DNN) in a public network integrated non-public network (NPN), the method comprising:
identifying, by the UE, a prioritized DNN and a corresponding network slice, from a list of prioritized DNNs and network slices, when the UE moves from a first location to a second location, wherein a timer is enabled for reconnecting to the prioritized DNN when the UE connected to a non-prioritized DNN attempts to connect to the prioritized DNN from the first location;
disabling, by the UE, the timer upon identifying the prioritized DNN and the corresponding network slice; and
evaluating, by the UE, a user route selection policy (URSP) rule for connecting the UE to the prioritized DNN and the corresponding network slice.
