Provided is a method of providing an unmanned aerial system (UAS), the method including: performing an authorization procedure with respect to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a UAV controller (UAC); after the authorization procedure is completed, receiving UAS serviceable area information from an unified data management (UDM) or a policy control function (PCF); and providing the received UAS serviceable area information to the UAV and the UAC via a base station.

A communication device includes: a distance information acquisition unit configured to acquire distance information indicating a distance to a communication target; a setting information acquisition unit configured to acquire setting information including a communication distance; and a communication unit configured to communicate with the communication target. The distance information acquisition unit acquires the distance information after the communication unit establishes connection with the communication target. The communication unit cuts the connection with the communication target when the distance information does not satisfy the communication distance included in the setting information.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate after a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method according to an embodiment of the disclosure is a control method in an edge enabler server (EES) of a mobile edge computing system, and may include subscribing to a user plane path change event at an edge application server (EAS); determining an application context relocation (ACR) based on receiving a user plane path management event notification from the mobile communication network in case of subscribing to the user plane path change event for the EAS; transmitting an ACR request message to the EAS; receiving an EAS response message from the EAS; and transmitting an application function (AF) acknowledgment message to a first node of the mobile communication network in response to receiving the EAS response message from the EAS.

A network device receives location information for a user equipment device (UE), an application identifier (ID), and a latency requirement associated with a data session involving the UE. The network device retrieves from a database, based on the UE's location information, the application ID, and the latency requirement, Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) selection weight values associated with multiple MEC platforms. The network device selects a MEC platform, from among the multiple MEC platforms, based on the retrieved MEC selection weight values, and causes the data session to be established between the selected MEC platform and the UE.

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for managing resources to deliver a network service in a distributed configuration. A method includes an operation for identifying resources for delivering a network service, the resources being classified by geographic area. Further, the method includes operations for selecting service agents to configure the identified resources, each service agent to manage service pools for delivering the network service across at least one geographic area, the service agents being selected to provide configurability for the service pools. The method further includes operations for sending configuration rules, to the service agents, configured to establish service pools for delivering the network service across the geographic areas. Service traffic information is collected from the service agents, and the resources are adjusted based on the collected service traffic information. Updated respective configuration rules are sent to each determined service agent based on the adjusting.

A managed Wi-Fi service network device can receive, from a cellular network device, an allowable throughput rate at which a user equipment is authorized to communicate via a managed Wi-Fi service network. Based on the allowable throughput rate, the managed Wi-Fi service network device can monitor a communication rate of the user equipment via the managed Wi-Fi service network. In response to the user equipment communicating via the managed Wi-Fi service network at a rate that exceeds the allowable throughput rate, the managed Wi-Fi service network device can facilitate reducing the communication rate of the user equipment. Also, a user equipment can receive from a cellular network device an allowable throughput rate at which the user equipment is authorized to communicate via the managed Wi-Fi service network. The UE can communicate via the managed Wi-Fi service network at a communication rate that does not exceed the allowable throughput rate.

Technology related to multi-device authentication is disclosed. In one example, a method can include receiving a request from a requesting client device to access a secured server. A command can be sent to an authenticating device to capture environmental information in proximity to the authenticating device. The captured environmental information can be used to verify the requesting client device and the authenticating device are near each other. The received request can be forwarded to the secured server in response to verifying the requesting client device and the authenticating device are near each other.

A communication method of the present disclosure includes detecting or estimating a decrease in throughput of a first communication terminal mounted on a first vehicle that is remotely driven, and reducing a communication speed of a second communication terminal with which the first communication terminal shares a communication resource in response to detection or estimation of the decrease in the throughput.
