Abstract
A method, a device, and a non-transitory storage medium are described in which a network device of a radio access network receives a message, from an end device, that includes capability information of the end device, and the network device includes a first network interface to a first core network and a second network interface to a second core network. The network device determines whether to establish a first bearer, which pertains to the end device, with the first core network via the first network interface, or a second bearer, which pertains to the end device, with the second core network via the second network interface based on the capability information. The network device establishes the first bearer or the second bearer based on the determination.
