Summary:A network device, of a fifth generation (5G) radio access network, may establish a connection or a session with a user equipment connected to a Wi-Fi network. The network device may determine an indicator indicating whether a 5G network preference is in effect based on a subscription of the user equipment and may provide the indicator to the user equipment. The network device may maintain the connection or the session with the user equipment when the indicator indicates that the Wi-Fi network is not preferred for Wi-Fi offload and may receive traffic from the user equipment when the indicator indicates that the Wi-Fi network is not preferred for Wi-Fi offload.
