Abstract: A method for optimizing group communication services, the method comprising instantiating an adaptive homing tool as a virtual network function, the adaptive homing tool communicating with a centralized database in a multiple region telecommunications network; storing a user identification for plural group members in the database; when a service request is made by at least one group member that has moved outside of connectivity with a group home server, receiving group member location data for the plural group members in real time; assigning a group control application server to at least one group member when a group member initiates a service request; wherein the common service tool assigns the group application control server based on at least one of the priority data, group member location data, least network resources used, best path performance, shortest path performance, and quality of service.

Abstract: A method for optimizing group communication services, the method including determining a current location and an assigned home server for one or more devices associated with each of a plurality of group members, determining whether the one or more devices of the plurality of group members has moved to a visiting location, wherein the visiting location is a location outside of locations associated with the assigned home server based on the current location and assigned home server for the one or more devices, and assigning a group control application server associated with the visiting location to the to the one or more devices to serve as the assigned home server.
