1. A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving a message comprising policy information associated with a personal network, wherein the policy information comprises one or more data network names (DNNs), one or more single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAIs), and one or more personal network identifiers;
sending a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment message to establish a PDU session for the personal network, wherein the PDU session is established to allow a plurality of devices on the personal network access to at least one data network that is indicated by a DNN of the one or more DNNs in accordance with at least one S-NSSAI of the one or more S-NSSAIs, wherein at least one of the plurality of devices utilizes a non-3GPP access technology;
receiving a PDU session establishment accept message from a network in response to the PDU session establishment message;
receiving data from a device of the plurality of devices on the personal network; and
sending the data to the network via the established PDU session that was established using the at least one S-NSSAI of the one or more S-NSSAIs.
