Claim 11:
12. 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;
determine, based on the second threshold network slice priority value, whether to at least one of reject a connection request from or release an existing connection with 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.
