Techniques for subscription based or network slice based traffic differentiation and routing

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
• establish a first communication connection associated with a first subscription of the UE or associated with a first network slice, wherein the first communication connection is a default connection for the UE for data traffic;
• establish a second communication connection associated with a second subscription of the UE or associated with a second network slice, wherein the second communication connection comprises a non-default connection for the UE for data traffic;
• receive, from a device tethered with the UE, via a wireless local area network provided by the UE or via a wired connection, a data traffic packet associated with one or more parameters;
• route the data traffic packet from the device to the second communication connection based at least in part on the one or more parameters and based at least in part on the second communication connection comprising the non-default connection;
• and
• transmit the data traffic packet using the second communication connection.

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

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
• establish a first communication connection associated with a first subscription of the UE or associated with a first network slice, wherein the first communication connection is a default connection for the UE for data traffic;
• establish a second communication connection associated with a second subscription of the UE or associated with a second network slice, wherein the second communication connection comprises a non-default connection for the UE for data traffic;
• receive, from a device tethered with the UE, via a wireless local area network provided by the UE or via a wired connection, a data traffic packet associated with one or more parameters;
• route the data traffic packet from the device to the second communication connection based at least in part on the one or more parameters and based at least in part on the second communication connection comprising the non-default connection;
• and
• transmit the data traffic packet using the second communication connection.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for establishing a first communication connection associated with a first subscription of the apparatus or associated with a first network slice, wherein the first communication connection is a default connection for the apparatus for data traffic;
• means for establishing a second communication connection associated with a second subscription of the apparatus or associated with a second network slice, wherein the second communication connection comprises a non-default connection for the apparatus for data traffic;
• means for receiving, from a device tethered with the apparatus, via a wireless local area network provided by the apparatus or via a wired connection, a data traffic packet associated with one or more parameters;
• means for routing the data traffic packet from the device to the second communication connection based at least in part on the one or more parameters and based at least in part on the second communication connection comprising the non-default connection;
• and
• means for transmitting the data traffic packet using the second communication connection.
