Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor of a radio access network (RAN) device, which when executed cause the RAN device to:
send, to a core network device, a first general packet radio service (GPRS)-tunnel endpoint identifier (GTP-TEID) that identifies first radio frequency (RF) bandwidths supporting a first dedicated radio bearer (DRB) in a RAN, wherein multiple presence reporting areas (PRAs) define a coverage area within the RAN;
map an RF bandwidth category level to each PRA, wherein the RF bandwidth category levels include multiple values that differ;
notify other core network devices of a first RF bandwidth category level corresponding to the first RF bandwidths; and
direct the other core network devices to apply at least one of a first traffic shaping policy or a first charging rule to the first DRB based on the first RF bandwidth category level.
