1. A method of providing network slicing, comprising:
establishing, in a multi Radio Access Technology (RAT) network, a first backhaul bearer at a base station with a first core network, the first backhaul bearer having a single priority parameter, the first backhaul bearer terminating at a first packet data network gateway in the first core network, the first backhaul bearer for carrying data from a plurality of UEs attached at the base station to the first core network;
identifying at least one network resource from end to end at a plurality of network nodes throughout a network as belonging to the first backhaul bearer;
establishing an encrypted internet protocol (IP) tunnel between the base station and a coordinating gateway in communication with the first core network and a second core network;
facilitating, for at least one UE attached at a base station, establishment of a plurality of UE data bearers encapsulated in a secure IP tunnel, the plurality of UE data bearers terminating at a second packet data network gateway in the second core network and having a plurality of individual priority parameters for prioritized traffic control at the second core network;
transmitting prioritized data of the plurality of UE data bearers via the first backhaul bearer and the coordinating gateway to the second core network,
thereby enabling a single user to have a group of network resources allocated to that user such that each resource is able to be sliced and enabled to designate portions of resources as belonging to a network slice.
