Abstract

A method, a system, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a core network selection service is provided. The core network selection service may minimize end devices transitioning between core networks of a multi-radio access technology (RAT) radio access network (RAN) based on cell selection priority configurations. The cell selection priority configurations may be provisioned on the end device via control messaging, such as system information block messages. The core network selection service may manage the end devices when in idle mode and in a connected mode.
