1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a device, information associated with a radio access network connected to another device;
filtering, by the device, the information associated with the radio access network to remove information identifying resources with the radio access network or user devices connected to the radio access network to create filtered information associated with the radio access network;
providing, by the device, and to a multi-access edge computing platform, the filtered information associated with the radio access network;
receiving, by the device, and from the multi-access edge computing platform, a quality of service request;
providing, by the device, and to a centralized unit of the radio access network, the quality of service request that requests a required quality of service triggered by a quality of experience (QoE) of the other device;
receiving, by the device, and from the centralized unit of the radio access network, a quality of service response;
providing, by the device, the quality of service response to a policy control function of a core network associated with the other device;
receiving, by the device, and from the policy control function, an indication of approval associated with the quality of service response; and
causing, by the device, and based on receiving the indication of approval, a required quality of service to be implemented by the multi-access edge computing platform and one or more network devices associated with the core network.
