1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a device, that a communication session in a private cellular wireless network is associated with an application;
determining, by the device, that data units associated with the communication session match a network slicing rule associated with the private cellular wireless network;
classifying, by the device, the communication session to a network slice based on the network slicing rule; and
assigning, by the device, the data units associated with the communication session to the network slice.
