1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a network device from an end device, a request for a session;
determining, by the network device in response to the request, that a current radio connection of the end device is not suitable for the session;
generating, by the network device, a radio connection release message that indicates at least one network slice that is correlated to at least one of ranked radio frequencies or ranked radio bands, wherein the radio connection release message includes an indication to not release the current radio connection and to add another radio connection of the at least one of ranked radio frequencies or ranked radio bands; and
transmitting, by the network device, the radio connection release message to the end device.
