Systems and methods for providing on-demand quality of service with radio access network control

A network device, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• maintain a mapping table that maps core network slices with quality of service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs) based on service profile identifiers (SPIDs);
• receive, from a user device, a request for a service with a particular QCI included in the QCIs of the mapping table;
• identify a particular SPID of the SPIDs in the mapping table based on the particular QCI of the service;
• generate a flow request based on the particular SPID;
• and
• cause the flow request to be provided to a radio access network (RAN) associated with the user device,
• wherein the flow request causes the RAN to:
• select a RAN slice for provision of the service to the user device,
• handle a traffic flow from the user device with the RAN slice, and
• release the RAN slice when a session with the user device is terminated.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network device, cause the network device to:
• maintain a mapping table that maps core network slices with quality of service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs) based on service profile identifiers (SPIDs);
• receive, from a user device, a request for a service with a particular QCI included in the QCIs of the mapping table;
• identify a particular SPID of the SPIDs in the mapping table based on the particular QCI of the service;
• generate a flow request based on the particular SPID,
• wherein the flow request includes an identifier of the user device, the particular SPID, an identifier of the service, and the particular QCI of the service;
• and
• cause the flow request to be provided to a radio access network (RAN) associated with the user device, to cause the RAN to select a RAN slice for provision of the service to the user device.
