Service aware admission control for IOT applications

A network device comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive, from a user equipment device, a request to connect to a network;
• perform a first admission control procedure enabling the user equipment device to temporarily access the network;
• receive, responsive to the temporary access, information identifying a slice associated with the user equipment device;
• perform, based on the slice, a second admission control procedure to establish a network session for the user equipment device;
• and
• allocate resources of the network for the network session.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage media storing instructions executable by processors of one or more devices, which when executed cause the one or more devices to:

• receive, from a user equipment device, a request to connect to a network;
• perform a first admission control procedure enabling the user equipment device to temporarily access the network;
• receive, responsive to the temporary access, information identifying a slice associated with the user equipment device;
• perform, based on the slice, a second admission control procedure to establish a network session for the user equipment device;
• and
• allocate resources of the network for the network session.
