    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, a method including selecting a second network slice, according to first information and a first characteristic of a first service associated with a communication device. The first network slice is directed to route a first portion of user plane traffic between the communication device and the second network slice, while retaining a second portion according to a second characteristic of the first service. The first network slice retains control plane processing for the communication device. The second network slice is directed to facilitate providing the first service via the first portion of the user plane traffic. Anticipated resource usage information associated with the second network slice is determined and a first virtual network function is instantiated at the second network slice according to the anticipated resource usage information associated with the second network slice. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including determining according to first information associated with a first wireless access network and second information associated with a second wireless access network, whether to facilitate communication in a geographic area between a first wireless communication device and a communication network via the second wireless access network, and, in turn, directing a second wireless access device of the second wireless access network to facilitate the communication between the first wireless communication device and the communication network, and directing a first wireless access device of the first wireless access network to stop facilitating second communication between the first wireless communication device and the communication network. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for dynamically modifying parameters for the delivery of data services over a network. For instance, in one example, a plurality of network slices is provided in a communications network. Each network slice of the plurality of network slices is configured to carry data over the communications network subject to a different combination of network service metrics. When a triggering event is detected in data carried over the communications network using a default slice of the plurality of network slices, the data is dynamically reassigned from the default network slice to a new network slice of the plurality of network slices in response to the detecting.

    Abstract: A processing system of a cellular network having a processor may receive, from an endpoint device via one of a first radio access infrastructure or a second radio access infrastructure of the cellular network, a request to establish a connection to a packet data network via the cellular network. The processing system may establish, in response to the request, a first session for the endpoint device via the first radio access infrastructure, and a second session for the endpoint device via the second radio access infrastructure of the cellular network, where the connection to the packet data network includes the first session and the second session. The processing system may further configure the first session or the second session for control plane signaling for the connection, and configure the first session, the second session, or both the first session and the second session for user plane communications for the connection.
