Adaptive pairing of a radio access network slice to a core network slice based on device information or service information

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a system comprising a processor and a memory, first information corresponding to core network slices;
• receiving, by the system, second information corresponding to radio access network slices;
• receiving, by the system, first end device information corresponding to a first end device requesting provisioning of a communication pathway to a second end device;
• based on a first portion of the first information, a second portion of the second information, and the first end device information, determining, by the system, a first pairing of a first core network slice of the core network slices and a first radio access network slice of the radio access network slices;
• based on a third portion of the first information, a fourth portion of the second information, and the first end device information, determining, by the system, a second pairing of a second core network slice of the core network slices and a second radio access network slice of the radio access network slices;
• selecting, by the system, a preferred pairing from paired slices comprising the first pairing and the second pairing based on a rank of each paired slice of the paired slices;
• and
• enabling, by the system, access to information corresponding to the preferred pairing to facilitate provisioning of the preferred pairing, wherein the communication pathway is configured to comprise the preferred pairing.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving first information corresponding to core network slices;
• receiving second information corresponding to radio access network slices;
• receiving first end device information corresponding to a first end device requesting provisioning of a communication pathway to a second end device;
• receiving first service information corresponding to a service to be performed by the first end device;
• determining a first pairing of the first core network slice and a first radio access network slice based on a first portion of the first information, a second portion of the second information, the first end device information, and the first service information;
• determining a second pairing of the second core network slice and the second radio access network slice based on a third portion of the first information, a fourth portion of the second information, the first end device information and the first service information;
• determining a selected pairing from paired slices comprising the first pairing and the second pairing based on a rank of each paired slice of the paired slices;
• and
• enabling access to information corresponding to the selected pairing to facilitate provisioning of the selected pairing, wherein the communication pathway is configured to comprise the selected pairing.
