1. A device, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
receive, from a policy element of a core network of a wireless network, a set of triggers associated with a plurality of radio frequency (“RF”) bands implemented by a radio access network (“RAN”) of the wireless network;
identify that a User Equipment (“UE”) is connected to the RAN via a first RF band, of the plurality of RF bands, wherein the UE receives a first set of UE policies for communications between the UE and the core network of the wireless network based on the connection via the first RF band;
identify a subsequent connection of the UE to the RAN via a second RF band, of the plurality of RF bands;
identify that a particular trigger, of the set of triggers, is satisfied based on the subsequent connection of the UE to the RAN via the second RF band; and
indicate, to the policy element, that the particular trigger has been satisfied, wherein the policy element outputs a second set of UE policies for communications between the UE and the core network of the wireless network based on the satisfaction of the particular trigger.
