In an embodiment, autonomous vehicles with global positioning systems (GPS) are used for field inspection to reduce fuel and labor costs and improve reliability with increased consistency in field crop inspection. A vehicle may be programmed to traverse a field while using sensors to detect objects and operating in a first image capture mode, for example, capturing low-resolution images of objects in the field, typically crops. Under program control, machine vision techniques are used with the low-resolution images to recognize crops, non-crop plant material or undefined objects. Under program control, location data is used to correlate recognized objects with digitally stored field maps to resolve whether a particular object is in a location at which crop planting is expected or not expected. Under program control, depending on whether an object in a low-resolution digital image is recognized as a crop, and whether the object is in an expected geo-location for crops, the vehicle may cease traversing temporarily and switch to a second image capture mode, for example, capturing a high-resolution image of the object, for use in disease analysis or classification, weed analysis or classification, alert notifications or other messages, or other processing. In this manner, a field may be rapidly traversed and imaged using coarse-level, rapid techniques that require lower processing resources, storage or memory, while automatically switching to execute special processing only when necessary to resolve unexpected objects or to perform operations such as disease classification that benefit from high-resolution images and more intensive use of processing resources, storage or memory.

A method, performed by a first entity (111), for providing a service in a communications network (100). The first entity (111) obtains (701), from a second entity (112), a request. The request is for one or more links (118) to be allocated to a first network slice to provide a service via one or more paths (117). The (118) connect one or more nodes (115). The request indicates at least one of: a) one or more requirements to be met by the links (118), and b) a first priority to be assigned to the first network slice. The first entity (111) determines (702) the links (118) to be allocated to the first network slice. The determining (701) is based on the one or more requirements, the first priority, and a set of available resources. The first entity (111) sends (705), to another entity (112, 113), an indication based on the determined links (118).

A service provider of a telecommunications network provides local hosting of virtual user equipment (UE) clients to enable the clients to access locally access services of the telecommunications network's control plane. The service provider deploys a virtual UE client on a computing device associated with the service provider, where the virtual UE client includes computer program instructions that when executed by the computing device cause the computing device to perform one or more functions simulating performance of a physical UE device. The service provider maintains an interface between the virtual UE client and the control plane by which the client receives data from the control plane. The virtual UE client executes an application generated by a customer, which performs one or more functions using the data received from the control plane of the telecommunications network.

A system, methods, and computer-readable media are provided herein for real-time “live” identification of connectivity issues with autonomous predictive solution provision via a diagnostic application supported by a machine-learning model. In aspects, live data in a targeted application is captured in an on-going manner and used by the diagnostic application to automatically identify connectivity issues. When connectivity issues are detected, the live data capture is pushed to the model so that the model can make a predictive classification of the error based on geospatial, temporal, and/or geospatial-temporal alignments in the data. Based on the classification, the model predicts a solution and the diagnostic application provides the solution to the user of the targeted application.
