1. A method, comprising:
maintaining a mapping table that maps core network slices with quality of service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs) based on service profile identifiers (SPIDs);
receiving, by a network device of a core network and from a user device, a request for a service with a particular QCI included in the QCIs of the mapping table;
identifying, by the network device, a particular SPID of the SPIDs in the mapping table based on the particular QCI of the service;
generating, by the network device, a flow request based on the particular SPID; and
causing, by the network device, the flow request to be provided to a radio access network (RAN) associated with the user device, to cause the RAN to select a RAN slice for provision of the service to the user device.
