the AI slice selection is associated with the plurality of AI slices,

the NW slice selection is associated with the plurality of NW slices, and

the at least one UE selects one of the plurality of cells based on the predefined order of performing at least one of the AI slice selection and the NW slice selection.

2. The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of AI slices comprises a plurality of first AI slices, a plurality of second AI slices, and at least one third AI slice.

3. The wireless communication system according to claim 2 , wherein:

the plurality of first AI slices is computed in the plurality of cells, the at least one UE, and the at least one NW,

the plurality of second AI slices is computed and communicated between each of the plurality of cells and the at least one UE and between each of the plurality of cells and the at least one NW, and

the at least one third AI slice is computed and communicated between the at least one NW and the at least one UE.

4. The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cells supports a same frequency band in a case that the plurality of cells is located in each of the space, air, sea, and land.

5. The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein selecting one of the plurality of cells is performed based on at least one of an intra-frequency measurement, an inter-frequency measurement, and a latency requirement.

6. The wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein the computing performed by each of the plurality of AI slices is determined based on a UE capability, UE preference assistance information, or a user plane optimization.

7. A method, performed by a wireless communication system, for performing communication and computing, the method comprising:

configuring a plurality of cells to perform the communication between at least one user equipment (UE) and at least one network (NW);
