1. A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
transmitting, to a base station, a registration request comprising first single network slice selection assistance information (S-NSSAI) associated with a first network slice and second S-NSSAI associated with a second network slice;
receiving, from the base station, a registration accept message associated with the first network slice and the second network slice, the first network slice being associated with a first priority higher than a second priority associated with the second network slice, and the first network slice being served by a master cell group (MCG) and the second network slice being served by a secondary cell group (SCG); and
initiating a first inactivity timer for the MCG and a second inactivity timer for the SCG.
