1. A system, comprising:
a radio-based network including a radio access network and an associated core network; and
at least one computing device implementing an application, wherein the application is configured to at least:
determine that the application has an increased quality-of-service requirement in order to send or receive data via the radio-based network, the increased quality-of-service requirement being greater than an existing quality-of-service provided to the application by the radio-based network;
send a request that causes capacity in a network slice of the radio-based network to be allocated for the application, the network slice having the increased quality-of-service requirement; and
send or receive the data using the network slice.
