Claim 12:
13. The network device of claim 9, wherein the processor is further configured to:
receive, via the communication interface from a device of a core network that is in a congested state, a second threshold network slice priority value that indicates a threshold slice priority that is to be satisfied by the network slice priority values and at least one of the correlated first applications or the portions of the correlated second applications so as to be granted access to the network device and one or more network slice identifiers;
determine, based on the one or more network slice identifiers, whether to reject a connection request from at least one of the one or more end devices;
determine, based on the second threshold network slice priority value, whether to release an existing connection with the at least one of the one or more end devices;
reject, in response to a determination to reject, the at least one of the one or more end devices; and
release, in response to a determination to release, the at least one of the one or more end devices.
