System, method, and computer program for user equipment handling in a 5G network based on available resources

As described herein, a system, method, and computer program are provided for handling a user equipment connection to a 5G network. An orchestration function of the 5G network identifies a connection to be established with the 5G network by the user equipment. The orchestration function determines a data center in the 5G network having resources available for use by the user equipment. The orchestration function generates access related information to be used by the user equipment for establishing the connection with the 5G network, wherein the access related information is based in part on the data center having the resources available for use by the user equipment. The orchestration function causes the user equipment to establish the connection to the 5G network according to the access related information by communicating the necessary information to a policy control function (PCF).
