    Abstract: Remote provision of a drone resource is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can generate a request for drone resources that can be employed to find an appropriate drone from a set of drones. The drone can be automatically provisioned to allow access to the drone resource in accord with the request. The set of drones can comprise different tiers of drones. A response can be generated indicating the state of provisioning a drone in accord with the request. The user equipment can make the request available to a drone allocation component via a communication framework that can comprise a wireless interface. Provisioning of the drone can similarly be accomplished via the communication framework. As such, the set of drones can be distributed and can be provisioned from a UE located remotely from the drone allocation component and/or the drones comprising the set of drones.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting network traffic of a traffic flow at a traffic controller of a first portion of a software-defined network, wherein the detected network traffic is based on a service of a number of services. A source of the detected network traffic is identified based on the detected traffic, wherein the traffic flow is between a subscriber device and a service platform. The service is identified based on the detected network traffic, and a service requirement is determined based on the identifying of the service. A virtual network function of a plurality of virtual network functions is selected based on the source of the network traffic and the service requirement, and a traffic flow is facilitated between the subscriber device and the service platform by way of the virtual network function. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to universal peer-to-peer signaling network virtualization and orchestration. According to one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a universal DIAMETER orchestrator can determine DIAMETER peer nodes to be utilized to handle DIAMETER signaling traffic for a service. The universal DIAMETER orchestrator can allocate transport resources over which a transport connection between the DIAMETER peer nodes can be established. In some embodiments, the universal DIAMETER orchestrator can allocate the transport resources on-demand. The universal DIAMETER orchestrator can allocate DIAMETER resources to provision DIAMETER signaling interfaces to handle the DIAMETER signaling traffic between the DIAMETER peer nodes. In some embodiments, the universal DIAMETER orchestrator can allocate the DIAMETER resources in accordance with a rule to override a traditional DIAMETER routing agent.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including receiving, from a first network slice comprising a set of virtual network functions instantiated in a network, a first request including a first characteristic for a first service associated with a first communication device, receiving, from service layer equipment, first information associated with plurality of network slices, selecting, according to the first characteristic and the first information, a second network slice of the plurality of network slices for facilitating providing a plurality of available services via the network, directing the first network slice to route user plane communication traffic between the first communication device and the second network slice, and directing, by the processing system, the second network slice to facilitate providing the first service to the first communication device via user plan communication traffic. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media and apparatuses for sharing an experience via a social network on demand are disclosed. A processor establishes a first video session with a mobile endpoint device of a user, the first video session is established after the mobile endpoint device is authenticated as being allowed to capture a video of a live event at a commercial venue, the first video session containing the video of the live event at the commercial venue that the user is attending, receives at least one social media connection of the user for receiving the video, sends a notification to each social media connection of the at least one social media connection that the video is available, receives a request from the at least one social media connection to access the video, and establishes a second video session with an endpoint device of the at least social media connection.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to manage deployed drones are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include detecting, by a first drone, whether the first drone is in communication with a command center via a first communication network to determine a configuration parameter of a first message to broadcast discovery information associated with the first drone. Disclosed example methods also include, in response to the first drone being in communication with the command center via the first communication network, broadcasting, from the first drone, the first message configured with a first value for the configuration parameter. Disclosed example methods further include, in response to the first drone not being in communication with the command center via the first communication network, broadcasting, from the first drone, the first message configured with a second value for the configuration parameter different from the first value.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a method, system and storage medium for moving an item from the first location to a second location. The method includes characterizing the item to be moved with a set of item attributes. The method further includes characterizing the first location and the second location with a set of first location attributes and second location attributes. The method further includes specifying goals for the item to move from the first location to a second location. The method also includes accessing an origin template stored in a data store wherein the origin template is associated with the item and the first location and accessing a destination template stored in the data store wherein the destination template is associated with the item and the second location. The method further includes generating a moving plan from the origin template, the destination template and the goals, and executing the moving plan with an agent that moves the item from the first location to the second location.
