The processor may be further configured to obtain a list of available PGWs from a 5G Network Repository Function (NRF), in response to determining that the UE device is associated with the 5G subscription; select a PGW from the obtained list of available PGWs based on a selection rule; and send a create session request for the UE device to the selected PGW.
