Abstract
A user device may receive a traffic category and/or slice usage policy, and may provide a request for an application. The user device may receive the application with a traffic category and/or slice usage requirement, and may install the application on the user device. The user device may subscribe to traffic categories and/or slices, and may receive approval to utilize the traffic categories and/or slices. The user device may provide, by the application and to an operating system, a connection request for a particular traffic category and/or slice, and may determine whether the application is approved for the particular traffic category and/or slice. The device may provide, to a modem, the connection request and traffic descriptors for the particular traffic category and/or slice based on the application being approved, and may establish a protocol data unit session, for the application, utilizing the particular traffic category and/or slice.
