Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network device, cause the network device to:
maintain a mapping table that maps core network slices with quality of service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs) based on service profile identifiers (SPIDs);
receive, from a user device, a request for a service with a particular QCI included in the QCIs of the mapping table;
identify a particular SPID of the SPIDs in the mapping table based on the particular QCI of the service;
generate a flow request based on the particular SPID,
wherein the flow request includes an identifier of the user device, the particular SPID, an identifier of the service, and the particular QCI of the service; and

cause the flow request to be provided to a radio access network (RAN) associated with the user device, to cause the RAN to select a RAN slice for provision of the service to the user device.
