Abstract

The embodiments described herein relate to managing access to 5G cellular baseband resources for 5G-enabled wireless devices. A wireless device may monitor application workloads by analyzing network performance requirements for a given application currently in use or launched for future use, along with system-level indications of overall device usage, battery level, and mobility status, to determine whether access to 5G cellular baseband resources is recommended for the application. A 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is provided for the application, indicating reliability metrics within the bandwidth level indication as well as the level of bandwidth currently in use or expected for future use. The 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is used in conjunction with additional device criteria to determine whether access to one or more 5G radio frequency bands is permitted.
