Techniques to provide sponsored data for a user equipment in a mobile network environment

Abstract

Presented herein are techniques to provide sponsored data to a user equipment in a mobile network environment. For example, techniques provided herein may provide for the ability to enhance sponsored data connectivity by enabling a mobile network to facilitate sponsorship of a network slice as part of sponsored data connectivity in which the network slice can provide traffic flow specific Service Level Agreement (SLA) connectivity and treatment. In one example, a method is provided that includes determining, via a first session of a user equipment (UE), that the UE seeks to access content in which financial sponsorship for accessing the content by the UE is to be provided by a sponsoring entity in which the first session involves a first network slice and enabling the UE to establish a second session to access the content in which the second session involves a second network slice.
