Abstract
Systems and methods for dynamic utilization-based network slice allocation management for user equipment applications are provided. In some embodiments, a slice estimation engine may be implemented to evaluate the network traffic and other application activity data associated with an application running on the UE to determine an operating mode of the application. The slice estimation engine may trigger the UE to request an adjustment to its network slice allocation configurations based on the evaluation. To determine whether or not an application should be reconfigured for a new network slice, the slice estimation engine may evaluate processes that are running on the UE. The slice estimation engine may comprise one or more slice assessment algorithms that determine which slice from a set of available network slices would optimally serve the application based on the network traffic characteristics associated with the application's current mode of operation.
