A device may include a processor configured to provide an interface to enable a user equipment (UE) device to request a data flow in a network slice via a network exposure function (NEF). The processor may be further configured to receive a request from the UE device via the provided interface to create a data flow in the network slice, wherein the data flow is associated with a Quality of Service (QOS) characteristic; map the QoS characteristic to a QoS identifier; and create a data flow associated with the QoS identifier in a communication session associated with the UE device in the network slice.
