Abstract
A system and method carried out over a mobile wireless network are described for performing beam pair (BP) and end-to-end (E2E) network slice selection for supporting an invoked service on a mobile equipment (ME). The method includes establishing an initial BP with a radio access network (RAN) node, using an available link policy, enabling communicating a request to the RAN node including an indication of a desired service level for a service invoked on the ME. The method further includes updating, in accordance with the indication of a desired service level, a link policy and an E2E slice policy by performing a reinforcement learning, wherein the link policy is used to select a BP for the ME for a given ME mobility pattern, and wherein the E2E network slice policy is used to select an E2E network slice for the desired service level for the service invoked on the ME.
