1. A method, comprising:
mapping, by a processor of a UE device, a software application to a slicing class identifier for a network;
receiving, by the processor, a request from the software application to access the network;
sending to a modem of the UE device, by the processor, the slicing class identifier in response to the request; and
sending, by the modem, a registration request to the network, wherein the registration request includes a network slice identifier that is selected based on the slicing class identifier.
