Systems and methods for end-to-end slicing between wwan and wlan

An apparatus, comprising:

• control circuitry;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the control circuitry, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• receive data traffic for a session, wherein:
• the apparatus relays the data traffic between a cellular mobile network and a non-cellular network;
• the data traffic is received over a radio access network (RAN) slice of the cellular mobile network;
• and
• the data traffic is destined for a first device of the non-cellular network;
• determine a performance metric associated with the session based, at least in part, on information related to the RAN slice of the cellular mobile network;
• identify a plurality of wireless network channels over the non-cellular network, over which one or more devices may communicate with the apparatus, wherein a first wireless network channel of the plurality of wireless network channels has a first attribute;
• select the first wireless network channel of the plurality of wireless network channels based, at least in part, on:
• the performance metric associated with the session;
• and
• the first attribute associated with the first wireless network channel;
• and
• transmit the data traffic of the session to the first device using the first wireless network channel of the non-cellular network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by control circuitry, cause the control circuitry to:

• receive data traffic for a session, wherein:
• the control circuitry relays the data traffic between a cellular mobile network and a non-cellular network;
• the data traffic is received over a radio access network (RAN) slice of the cellular mobile network;
• and
• the data traffic is destined for a first device of the non-cellular network;
• determine a performance metric associated with the session based, at least in part, on information related to the RAN slice of the cellular mobile network;
• identify a plurality of wireless network channels over the non-cellular network, over which one or more devices may communicate with the control circuitry, wherein a first wireless network channel of the plurality of wireless network channels has a first attribute;
• select the first wireless network channel of the plurality of wireless network channels based, at least in part, on:
• the performance metric associated with the session;
• and
• the first attribute associated with the first wireless network channel;
• and
• transmit the data traffic of the session to the first device using the first wireless network channel of the non-cellular network.
