Intelligent core network selection

The invention relates to intelligent core network selection. Apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed for user equipment (UE) to establish a connection with a core network through a base stationconfigured with a hybrid core network deployment, wherein the base station is communicatively coupled to each of a LTE core network (CN) such as an evolved packet core (EPC) and a 5G CN. The UE determines a preference for establishing a connection with one of the EPC or the 5G CN based on one or more of a device type of the UE, an active data stream running on the UE, availability of a network slice or packet data unit (PDU) session through each core network, or historical network performance of a particular CN. The UE transmits, to the base station, a message indicating the determined preference. The UE then receives a response from the base station to establish a connection with the indicated preferred core network. 本公开涉及智能核心网络选择。公开了用于用户装备设备(UE)通过被配置有混合核心网络部署的基站来与核心网络建立连接的装置、系统和方法，其中所述基站通信地耦接到诸如演进分组核心(EPC)之类的LTE
