Systems and methods for dynamic slice selection in a wireless network

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing a plurality of processor-executable instructions to:

• receive a first communication session request associated with a first User Equipment (“UE”) and a network that includes a plurality of network slices, wherein the first communication session request includes a particular identifier;
• output a first request for network slice information, wherein the first request for network slice information includes the particular identifier;
• receive, in response to the first request for network slice information, network slice information that indicates at least a first network slice and a second network slice that were selected based on the particular identifier;
• identify first network slice priority information, associated with the first UE, that indicates relative priorities of the first and second network slices, wherein the network further maintains second slice priority information associated with a second UE, wherein the first and second slice priority information are different;
• select the first network slice based on the first network slice priority information;
• respond to the first communication session request in accordance with the selected first network slice;
• receive a second communication session request associated with the second UE, wherein the second communication session request includes the particular identifier;
• select the second network slice based on the second network slice priority information;
• and
• respond to the second communication session request in accordance with the selected second network slice.

A method, comprising:

• receiving a first communication session request associated with a first User Equipment (“UE”) and a network that includes a plurality of network slices, wherein the first communication session request includes a particular identifier;
• outputting a first request for network slice information, wherein the first request for network slice information includes the particular identifier;
• receiving, in response to the first request for network slice information, network slice information that indicates at least a first network slice and a second network slice that were selected based on the particular identifier;
• identifying first network slice priority information, associated with the first UE, that indicates relative priorities of the first and second network slices, wherein the network further maintains second slice priority information associated with a second UE, wherein the first and second slice priority information are different;
• selecting the first network slice based on the first network slice priority information;
• responding to the first communication session request in accordance with the selected first network slice;
• receiving a second communication session request associated with the second UE, wherein the second communication session request includes the particular identifier;
• selecting the second network slice based on the second network slice priority information;
• and
• responding to the second communication session request in accordance with the selected second network slice.
