## Abstract

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, obtaining, by a processing system including a processor, network data associated with a communication network; generating, by the processing system, Quality of Service (QOS) information by applying machine learning to the network data; and providing, by the processing system, the QoS information to a Policy Control Function (PCF) that selects or generates a first UE Route Selection Policy (URSP) rule according to the QoS information and provides the first URSP to an end user device, where the first URSP rule is implemented to provide a communication service to the end user device utilizing an application via the communication network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device, comprising:
a processing system including a processor and operating as a Policy Control Function (PCF) in a communication network; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
providing a first UE Route Selection Policy (URSP) rule to a first end user device, wherein the first URSP rule is selected or generated according to Quality of Service (QoS) information generated by applying machine learning to collected network data associated with the communication network;
determining whether the first end user device accepts the first URSP rule, wherein the first end user device is not permitted to reject the first URSP rule if the first URSP rule increases resources of the communication network available for use by a first responder device; and
facilitating a first QoS for a first communication service to the first end user device via the communication network responsive to the determining that the first end user device has accepted the first URSP rule.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise facilitating a second QoS for a second communication service to a second end user device via the communication network responsive to determining that the second end user device has accepted a second URSP rule, wherein the first QoS and the second QoS are different values for each of the first communication service and the second communication service.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The device of claim 2, wherein the first URSP rule and the second URSP rule are associated with a first application that provides the first communication service to the first end user device and provides the second communication service to the second end user device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the first URSP rule is generated in response to receiving the QoS information, and wherein the first URSP rule is based in part on a location of the first end user device.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The device of claim 4, wherein the first URSP rule is based in part on detecting an event occurring within a particular distance of the location of the first end user device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the first URSP rule designates a particular network slice or a particular Data Network Name (DNN) that results in a change to the first QoS for the first communication service.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the first URSP rule is generated after the first communication service has begun.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the first URSP rule is implemented after the first end user device agrees to utilize the first URSP rule and results in a change of the first QoS for the end user device during the first communication service.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the collected network data is obtained by an analytics platform operated by a first entity that is distinct from a second entity operating the communications network.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The device of claim 1, wherein the first URSP rule designates an operational parameter of the first end user device that is to be adjusted by the first end user device that results in to the facilitating the first QoS for the first communication service.

### Claim 11

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor of an end user device, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a first UE Route Selection Policy (URSP) rule, wherein the first URSP rule is selected or generated by a Policy Control Function (PCF) according to Quality of Service (QOS) information associated with a communication network;
determining to agree to utilize the first URSP rule, wherein the end user device is not permitted to reject the first URSP rule if the first URSP rule increases resources of a communication network available for use by a first responder device; and
responsive to determining to agree to utilize the first URSP rule, receiving a first communication service utilizing an application via the communication network according to the first URSP rule.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the QoS information is generated from machine learning applied to collected network data associated with the communication network.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the determining to agree to utilize the first URSP rule results in a charge being applied to a subscriber account associated with the end user device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the operations comprise:
presenting an option at a user interface of the end user device to accept or reject a QoS level that corresponds to the first URSP rule; and
receiving user input in response to the option, wherein the determining to agree to utilize the first URSP rule is based on the user input.

### Claim 15 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the receiving the communication service according to the first URSP rule includes use of a particular network slice designated by the first URSP rule.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the receiving the first communication service according to the first URSP rule includes use of a particular Data Network Name (DNN) designated by the first URSP rule.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the first URSP rule is generated after the first communication service has begun and results in a QoS change for the end user device during the first communication service.

### Claim 18

A method, comprising:
generating, by a processing system including a processor, Quality of Service (QoS) information according to network data associated with a communication network; and
providing, by the processing system, the QoS information to a Policy Control Function (PCF) that selects or generates a first UE Route Selection Policy (URSP) rule according to the QoS information and provides the first URSP to an end user device, wherein the end use device is not permitted to reject the first URSP rule if the first URSP rule increases resources of the communication network available for use by a first responder device.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)
