/Systems And Methods For Allocating Network Slices To Applications Via A Network Enabled Function
Abstract

A device may receive data identifying network slices and applications permitted on the network slices, and data identifying addresses of the applications permitted on the network slices. The device may provide, to a UE, a list of the network slices and the applications permitted on the network slices, and may receive, from the UE, a UE identifier and subscribed to applications from the list. The device may create rules for the subscribed to applications and corresponding network slices, and may associate the rules for the subscribed to applications and the corresponding network slices with the UE identifier. The device may receive, from a network function, a request for the rules associated with the UE identifier, the subscribed to applications, and the corresponding network slices, and may provide, based on the request, the rules to the UE via the network function.
